The finer details - day to day living at camp
Monday
AM - Coaches will depart from various local meeting points across the UK to arrive in Brighton for roughly 11am.
The morning will consist of unpacking (girls will share a room with 1 or 2 other girls which they will have chosen), tour or facilities and getting to know each other games.
PM - After lunch we will get straight into our coaching sessions.
The girls will get some free time each day after coaching (around 4pm) before dinner and onto the evening activity.
Day to day
A normal day at residential camp will look like this...
AM - Wake up from pastoral and coaching staff before getting ready for the day and heading to breakfast.
Coaching sessions begin at 9am and run through until 12.30pm when we break for lunch (there is a short break in the middle of this as well).
PM - Coaching sessions continue after lunch until 4pm (with breaks) before free time back at the boarding house. Dinner and evening activities end our day off.
Last day (Friday)
Normal routine until lunch time. After lunch campers will return to their dorms to pack and have an opportunity to shower if they need before the end of camp awards ceremony.
PM - At around 3.30pm we will leave Brighton on the coaches for a 6pm return to the meeting points.
As always if you have any questions, or queries please reach out and we'll be happy to help you with anything you're unsure on!
Other important things to know...
Trips
On the Wednesday of camp will be a "rest day" where campers will go off site on a trip. This could be a stadium tour, an outdoors activity day, a theme park, or something similar. Each residential will have a different day trip mid week to give campers a chance to rest and recoup before the last 2 days of coaching.
Evening activities
Evening activities could include, general swim in the pool, guest performers, trips to the beach for a BBQ on the beach, team competition evenings and much more! Although all campers are expected to join in with the evening activities, for campers who would like a quieter evening this can accommodated too (movie nights etc).
Staff
All our staff are DBS checked. We will have more than ample staffing, including coaching staff and also specific pastoral staff. We will have an all female staffing team - coaches will all be FA/Uefa qualified and for those that have been on previous day camps - there will be a lot of familiar faces!
Cost
Residential camp runs for 5 consecutive days, Monday to Friday. The cost of residential camp is £750. This is one of - if not the cheapest, residential girls football camps running in the UK right now. We have purposely tried to keep the cost for families as low as possible to enable as many girls as possible to be able to attend and to have this opportunity. We have also opened booking a whole year in advance for the same reason - for families to plan accordingly to make this happen. Included in the price is: All food and drinks (including snacks), 4 x kit for the girls to wear each day during coaching sessions, the day trip on the Wednesday and also all evening activities (which may be off site). We can't wait to create some lifelong memories with these girls.
