2026 Summer Camps at Clubs

This summer at XVAcademy is all about football, fun, and giving young players the chance to really enjoy their time on the pitch. Our Summer Camps at Clubs are open to boys and girls U8 – U13 and are designed to help players stay active, improve their skills, and be part of a positive football environment right across the holidays.

Every session is delivered by our XVAcademy coaching team, with a big focus on development through enjoyment. Players will be challenged, encouraged, and supported at their own level - whether they're just starting out or already playing regularly.

Across the week, it's simple: lots of football, lots of learning, and a great atmosphere.

What Players Can Expect

Each camp is built around making sure every child gets plenty of touches on the ball and leaves the pitch better than when they arrived. Sessions are structured, but relaxed - keeping things enjoyable while still pushing development.

Players will take part in technical work, small-sided games, and challenges designed to improve confidence and decision-making.

Beyond the Camps at Clubs

Our summer doesn't stop there. At the XV Arena, we'll also be running additional football activities throughout the holidays, including:

  • Competitive games, tournaments & weekly challenges (U10–U12)
  • Small group technical development sessions
  • Dedicated goalkeeper training sessions
  • Mini Ballers programme for younger players starting their football journey

A Proper Summer of Football

Whether it's a camp day in a local club or a session at The XVArena, the focus is the same - give players a great experience, help them improve, and make sure they enjoy every minute of their football this summer.

We're looking forward to seeing plenty familiar faces and new ones across the programme.
