Manchester City Football School Holiday Camps

This September, Manchester City Football School at Parade College is offering two exciting holiday camps to help young players have fun, develop their skills and experience the Manchester City way of playing.

Designed for students in Years 3-8, the clinics will run in the first week of the Term 3 School Holidays.

Mixed Gender: Monday 21 Sept - Thursday 24 Sept (4 days)

Girls Only: Tuesday 22 Sept - Wednesday 23 Sept (2 days)

Each day will have a different topic and focus, with age and stage-appropriate sessions delivered directly from the Manchester City Football School methodology. Players will have the opportunity to learn new skills, refine existing skills and develop their understanding of the game through engaging, challenging and enjoyable practices.

Sessions are designed to maximise ball-rolling time and touches on the ball, progressing from small-sided games into larger team games. Throughout the programme, players will be encouraged to make decisions, express themselves and develop their ability to play 'beautiful football'.

All sessions will be delivered by UEFA-qualified coaches from the UK, providing players with an authentic Manchester City Football School experience.
