Location
For the half-board summer camps. It will take place on the Ile de Puteaux between Neuilly sur Seine and Puteaux. This island is entirely dedicated to sports, with 6 football pitches, and can be reached by line L from the centre of Paris via the Saint Lazare station in 30 minutes.
Paris is the number one tourist destination and it is clear to see why. There are countless activities available throughout the capital.
The architecture is magnificent and many monuments can be visited such as the Arc de Triomphe, the Eiffel Tower or the Louvre museum with the famous painting by Leonardo da Vinci: the Mona Lisa. Walking and strolling through the districts of Paris is already an activity.
Add to that the possibility of doing many sports activities or the mythical visits located in the suburbs of Paris such as the Palace of Versailles or Disneyland Paris: the largest version of the theme park outside the United States. There is always something to do in the city that has been called the most beautiful city in the world!
Accommodation
The rooms are equipped with two single beds. In each room, there will be a desk and a storage closet for the player’s convenience.
Toilets and bathrooms are shared
The centre’s communal areas are large and allow guests to share moments of enjoyment with friends based around games and animation made by the animators, sometimes even on the spot!
The sporting Facilities
For the Summer camps on the Ile de Puteaux. The 6 pitches are a mix of synthetic pitches and high-quality grass pitches. So there’s plenty of variety!
Catering and food
The catering is organised in the same place for all the athletes in the centre. It is self-service.
The dining room is brand new and the chefs in the kitchen work hard every day to create meals for the many athletes. After all, one of the first steps to becoming a top class athlete is a balanced diet.
Allergy and food specifications are obviously taken into account and will be requested before arrival so that the chefs can cater to specific needs as well.
Safety and security
The PSG Academy football camp has been in existence for many years and the instructors and coaches are trained to ensure safety.

Training
Before even starting the week of camp, all the kids will receive a Nike PSG training kit with :
- 2 Nike PSG Academy jerseys
- 2 pairs of Nike shorts
- 2 pairs of Nike socks
- 1 Nike sports bag
- 1 water bottle
- 1 Nike cap
- 1 Nike t-shirt
The camp methodology :
On the first day of camp, the coaches of the PSG Academy will divide girls and boys into groups based on their level, taking into account the age and skill level of every player. This helps balance out groups but it is not a definite process, and changes are often made during the camp if a player particularly impresses the coaches. This allows the coaches to adapt the exercises to the skill of the group.
Football is obviously at the heart of the week and there will be two training sessions a day, and twenty hours over the course of the week.
The camp aims to improve all components of the participants’ game: technique, tactical understanding, physical fitness and football intelligence. Each drill is put to use in smaller scale teams and then full matches. If the competences were not acquired, they will be reworked with new exercises in the week.
Finally, at the end of the week, a closing ceremony is organized with various prizes.
Girls will have a dedicated program with female educators and coaches.
SPECIFIC GOALKEEPER TRAINING
The specific goalkeeper option allows the kids to work on the particular skills a goalkeeper needs in an intense manner with the coaches : positionning, saves, footwork, long and short passing…
3 extra sessions throughout the week (open to all but limited spaces)
SPECIFIC STRIKER TRAINING
The specific training for strikers allows the campers to add an extra hour a day to work on the different offensive aspects that a striker needs : shots on goal, one-twos, pivot play, volleys, free-kicks… Everything to be a real fox in the box !
3 extra sessions throughout the week (open to all but limited spaces)
Coaches and coaching method
The supervision of the campers will be done by the coaches and the animators who are formed and shaped by Paris-Saint-Germain. They will also have necessary degrees and qualifications for taking care of children.
Staff and activities
As well as the football, the kids will be able to take advantage of their free time to do other activities under the supervision of a team of animators. They are used to creating a sense of cohesion in the group to make sure that all the kids have a great time all week.
The time for group activities will be divided between being linked to football and to the discovery of other sports and fun activities. They will regularly take place to make sure that the campers do not get bored and to make sure that they have all the energy they need to give their all on the field. This helps the kids to make fantastic friendships and memories.
The PSG Academy is based around these three main words: Pleasure, progress and sharing. There is no doubt that with these sentiments, your child will come home from a truly unforgettable week.
Trips and days out
For the summer course, children will receive an invitation to visit the legendary PSG stadium, the Parc des Princes.
As the Parc des Princes is hosting the Olympic Games, it will not be possible to visit the stadium during the week, but children will be able to do so with the invitation after the Olympic Games without having to pay.
This tour depends on the availability of the stadium depending on the sanitary situation and whether the PSG professional team needs it.
Please note that for the International Session, in addition to the visit of the summer camp, the children will be entitled to a cruise and a lunch on a Bateau-Mouche on the Seine. They will pass in front of the Eiffel Tower and climb to the top of the Arc de Triomphe!
Finally, they will spend a day in the Asterix theme park, so they will have a great time with their new friends!
