At the heart of the Arsenal Football summer camp programme is the Strong Young Gunner model, focusing on four key areas: becoming effective team players, efficient movers, lifelong learners, and developing a champion mentality. This approach, utilised by the Arsenal Academy, one of the world's leading football clubs, ensures players not only improve on the pitch but also gain valuable life skills that support their growth beyond football.

All sessions, led by an excellent team of UEFA-qualified Arsenal Head Coaches, recreate the all-round experiences of professional players like Saka and highlight what is needed to succeed at a high level - giving players the true Arsenal Academy experience. The experienced Arsenal coaching team are trained to adapt the programme to each age group and ability level, meaning every player is challenged at the right pace and builds confidence. Through tailored drills, small-sided games, and match play in ability groups, students learn and progress in the same techniques, skills and Game IQ taught at Arsenal's world-renowned Hale End Academy.

At all of our camps, boys and girls will train together according to their age, physicality and ability. However, we do encourage all girls to go to book at Worth School. We have seen how this builds confidence, creates a mutually beneficial atmosphere, breaks down gender and cultural barriers, and enhances both performance and enjoyment levels for boys and girls together.

Goalkeepers joining our summer football camp immerse themselves in the life of a professional goalkeeper with daily sessions focusing on all aspects of the position. The Arsenal Football Club International Academy goalkeeper coaching syllabus covers techniques such as footwork and handling, positioning, possession, support and distribution - and various other skills required to make an effective modern-day goalkeeper.

Players participating in the football-only option will participate in further workshops and analysis sessions to give more insight into the life of an Arsenal player.

Performance and Development

Through a high-quality soccer training experience, players can improve all aspects of their game, including physical, technical, tactical and psychological elements. They will leave the summer football camp feeling inspired not only to be better players but also better people, and to follow in the footsteps of academy players like Saka.

At the end of the course, an official Arsenal FD certificate is awarded to each player, contributing to their ongoing improvement in the game. Each player will receive verbal feedback from Arsenal Football Development's head coaches.

With participants from over 85 countries, our football summer camp offers a truly international football experience, fostering growth, English language learning, the development of new friendships and creating lasting memories for players.
