As one big LFC family we have a responsibility to provide young playersaround the world with access to the best environment and coaching possible, that’s what we aim to achieve with our Liverpool FC camps. – Ian Rush, LFC Legend & Ambassador
Liverpool FC Football Summer Camps are planned, delivered and coached by an exceptional team of experienced Liverpool FC coaches to the high standards you would expect from LFC. Many of them have previously represented LFC all over the world, working on a diverse range of LFC programmes and projects. Through innovative and challenging sessions that include individual and group drills, small-sided games and LFC Academy skills challenges, players will be taken through coaching curriculum and techniques that are used with the Club’s young players at the Academy in Liverpool. Players can participate in 1 or 2 week of specialist football camps, and choose from 2 camp options: “Total Football” or “Football + English”, to focus entirely on developing their game, or to combine Football training with English language lessons.
Players are assessed and grouped by age and ability. All camps include up to 24 hours of football coaching per week. In addition, players on the “Total Football” option take 8 hours of Football Workshops, while those on the “Football + English” option take 13 hours of English lessons.
The curriculum of English Lessons is based on Liverpool Football Club. The qualified English teachers harness players’ passion for football to create a vibrant and engaging classroom using a project-based approach to learning. Students apply their language skills to real-world football scenarios such as coach interviews, debating a dream team and commentating on iconic LFC matches. Football Workshops use video footage to analyze Liverpool players and matches, covering the social and psychological attributes that contribute to a successful Liverpool team. A Weekly Tournament and Awards celebrate players’ successes. All players will also visit to the legendary Anfield stadium for a behind-the-scenes tour.
