Find inclusive, coach-led football camps across multiple venues this summer. SFA qualified coaches work with age-matched groups for players from P1 to P7. Each five day camp runs 10:00–15:00 and costs £86. Packed lunch, weather-appropriate kit and suitable footwear are required.
The football camps in this holiday programme offer an energetic, inclusive environment where children can develop technical skills, enjoy team play and build confidence. Sessions are run by SFA qualified coaches who organise activities for groups matched by age and ability, ensuring that both beginners and more experienced players get appropriate challenges and encouragement.
These outdoor camps are designed to support progression from first-time dribbling and passing to more advanced techniques.
Parents and guardians will find clear logistical details alongside guidance on what to bring, how to book and the cost of attendance.
The programme emphasises safety, fun and skill development during the school holidays, with each camp running a standard daily timetable and consistent expectations for participants.
What to expect at the camps
Every day centres around structured coaching, small-sided games and skill-building drills.
Coaches focus on technical elements like ball control, passing accuracy and shooting, while also teaching tactical awareness and teamwork. The use of age-matched groups means drills and match play are tailored so each child receives appropriate attention and challenge. Warm-ups, cool-downs and short breaks are integrated to maintain energy and reduce injury risk.
Coaching standards and approach
The camps are led by SFA qualified coaches, which guarantees a recognised level of training delivery and child-centred practice. Emphasis is placed on positive feedback, progressive skill development and creating an environment where making mistakes is part of learning. Coaches adapt sessions to suit mixed-ability groups, giving beginners simple, practical tasks and offering advanced players opportunities to refine technique.
Daily routine and practical details
Each camp runs from 10:00 to 15:00 and follows a predictable schedule that helps children settle quickly. Typical days include arrival and warm-up, technical sessions, small-sided games, a supervised lunch break and tournament-style play in the afternoon. Because sessions are held outdoors, participants must wear appropriate clothing and footwear—trainers, football boots or astro boots are recommended—and bring a packed lunch and drink.

The programme offers multiple weeks at different local venues to make attendance convenient for families. Each week is a five day course with the same daily times and age range (P1 to P7).

In addition, because sessions take place outside, please provide weather-appropriate clothing such as a waterproof top or sun hat depending on conditions.
Health and safeguarding
All staff are briefed on safeguarding procedures and first-aid arrangements.
