Training
Chelsea FC Camps offer two distinct programs for young players:
100% Soccer: 24 hours of soccer and 8 hours of theoretical workshops with the Chelsea FC Foundation, focusing on key aspects of a professional playerโs life, such as physical preparation, recovery, healthy lifestyle, and more.
Soccer + English: 24 hours of soccer combined with 13 hours of English language classes.
After selecting their program, children are grouped by age and skill level based on an assessment conducted on the first morning. Coaches regularly adjust the groups throughout the week to ensure each child trains in an environment suited to their abilities.
All children follow the same daily schedule, with two training sessions per day: one in the morning and one in the early evening. The only difference is in the afternoon session: participants in the 100% Soccer program will attend practical workshops and recovery sessions, while others will take English classes.
Training sessions focus mainly on real game situations, encouraging each player to apply the skills theyโve developed during the week. Throughout the day, Chelsea FC coaches, along with guest speakers, provide young players with insights and knowledge about the world of professional soccer.
During the week, coaches alternate between technical drills and themed matches, allowing players to put into practice what theyโve learned both in training and in workshops.
Players improve through a mix of technical drills, challenges, and small-sided games. Younger players train in a fun and engaging environment, while older players take part in high-intensity sessions focused on tactical and technical challenges. Every participant will leave with a deeper understanding of the game and increased confidence, in an international setting with players from around the world.
