Residential Premier Skills Camp
Premier Skills Camp – Where Football and English Come Together
Premier Skills Camp is a residential programme that blends professional football coaching with real English language learning. It’s based on the official Premier Skills English initiative from the British Council and the Premier League, a global project that has helped over 25,000 coaches and 1.6 million young people improve their communication through football.
This camp is for students who want to do more than just learn English in a classroom. It’s for those who want to live it—on the pitch, in teams, and through activities that inspire teamwork, leadership, and confidence.
Football is the Classroom. English is the Goal.
A Unique Football + English Curriculum
Premier Skills Camp is a special English course that uses football to teach real communication. Created by the British Council and Premier League, it’s part of a global programme that’s helped millions of students speak better English.
At camp, learners don’t just sit in a classroom—they move, speak, and play in English. Every session includes teamwork, coaching, and conversation. Students practise real-life English while learning football tactics and leadership.
It’s perfect for children aged 10–15 who want to improve fast. Lessons are exciting, active, and focused on fluency—not grammar. Football becomes the language of learning every day.
English Lessons With Purpose
This English and football camp is designed to build confidence and communication skills. Mornings are focused on speaking, listening, and giving instructions. Afternoons are for drills, teamwork, and matches—all in English.
Students talk, lead, and reflect in every activity. The course uses trusted Premier Skills materials, written by experts. It’s more than a game—it’s a powerful way to study English.
This camp suits sporty learners who enjoy learning through action. With support from experienced coaches and teachers, students improve quickly and naturally. It’s English with purpose, helping young players use language clearly, confidently, and with energy.
Football That Builds Language
Afternoons are spent on the pitch with qualified coaches using Premier Skills-inspired coaching sessions. These are not just about improving football technique—they are designed to develop communication, collaboration, and confidence.
During the football sessions, students:
- Use English to follow drills and give instructions
- Work in rotating roles: captain, coach, referee, and reporter
- Complete speaking tasks after training (e.g. “Describe how you organised your defence”)
- Reflect on teamwork in English with coaches and peers
- Play all games in English, with support for all students regardless of language level or football experience
Games are played in English, and every student is supported to participate actively—regardless of language level or football experience.
The Power of Football to Teach Life Skills
Premier Skills doesn’t just teach English or football. It promotes life skills that benefit students long after the camp ends.
Through this course, students develop:
- Communication and critical thinking
- Leadership and decision-making
- Cultural awareness and inclusion
- Confidence in public speaking and teamwork
- English that is practical, social, and transferable
The values behind the Premier League—fair play, respect, inclusion, and equality—are part of every day on this course.
More Than Just English – A Full Experience
