Manchester City Summer Residential Football Camp

The camp offers young players a residential football experience run by Manchester City Football School, the programme arm of Manchester City FC. Weekly sessions take place at the Etihad Campus and City Football Academy in Manchester, where campers train on the club’s facilities under its coaching staff. The programme welcomes boys and girls aged 9 to 17, with boys’ and girls’ weeks run separately on the same schedule. Three programme streams are available. The Football Language programme, for ages 9 to 17, combines formal classroom English learning with football instruction delivered in English — an immersive approach for students who want to develop both their language skills and their game. The Development programme, for ages 9 to 13, focuses on core football skills, confidence and teamwork. The Performance programme, for ages 14 to 17, offers advanced training for committed players. Camps run as five-night residential weeks with Sunday arrival. In the 2026 season, Language and Development weeks are priced at £2,199 and Performance weeks at £2,299, while the Language programme is also offered as a twelve-night option at £4,499 across consecutive weeks earlier in the season. The final 2026 week runs from 2 to 7 August and is a boys’ week; girls’ weeks took place in mid-July. Accommodation is provided in secure, modern university accommodation in Manchester with full-board catering throughout the stay. Manchester City’s welfare team provides 24/7 support, making sure every player feels safe, supported and part of the group. Evenings feature team challenges, city adventures and social activities that help campers build friendships that last well beyond the final whistle. Days combine structured football sessions with downtime and social time, and the Language stream adds classroom hours so that English learning carries through the whole week, on and off the pitch. Whether the goal is to sharpen skills, build confidence or combine football with English language learning, there is a stream to match most young players.
