Our programs are multi-level
syllabuses for children aged 4-16. That
means we run programs for all ages and abilities. We have a
whole
different curriculum for each age and ability group. We
emphasize
individual player development of technique but we use a wide
range of fun soccer games and activities to achieve it.
-
We call it our Learning
Through Games curriculum and it is specially
designed for children who want to learn and improve but who want
most of all to have a magical, fun week of camp.
-
It is a Child Centered
teaching approach in which we incorporate methods such as short
activity blocks (we switch topics every 20-30 minutes to retain
the children’s interest and keep them stimulated), reinforced
learning (the kids revisit each topic but with new activities
throughout the week to maximize their retention of skills and
knowledge) differentiated learning so that they improve at their
own appropriate level and we set individual targets.
-
We do things like daily
competitions (who can wear the funkiest t-shirt,
crazy hat day and so on); we run camp break activities where all
of the
kids come together and play huge fun games for points.
-
We run a world cup
competition in which everyone plays and we put them into teams
like USA or England or whatever they choose and we give them
bonus points for painting their faces in their national colors
or
bringing in flags or providing the answers to homework questions
we set
them the day before.
-
We make it into a cultural
experience by using our British staff to introduce the kids to
elements of life in Britain. The parents love it because it is
such an interactive cultural experience as well as a soccer
camp.
-
We end the camp week with
Family Fun Day in which we invite all of the
parents to come and see their children working and then invite
them to
participate in some of the activities themselves. The kids
really love that!
