LEARN ENGLISH PLAY FOOTBALL
“THE EXPERIENCE OF A LIFETIME”
This is how many of our students have
described their English and Football
camp. Our intensive two-week camps are
crammed full of activity and education,
providing a spring or summer study-break
in England that will be remembered forever.
FOR 8-17 YEAR OLDS
Each morning students receive
football coaching from the world-famous
Manchester United Soccer Schools.
No matter what their ability, they undergo a
comprehensive course covering technique,
tactics, physical, mental and social
elements of the game in a fun and friendly
atmosphere. Our students never forget
learning to play the United way!
Afternoons are allocated to English
lessons, delivered using our customised
football-themed syllabus. Students are
grouped according to ability so that they
can all improve quickly. The interactive
sessions cover grammar and vocabulary
but also place a large emphasis on
conversational English.
MUSS2014_brochure_EFL_AGENT_12pp.indd 2 07/10/2013 14:40
After an evening football session there’s a
chance to socialise and enjoy activities with
students from across the globe. This is a
great opportunity to experience different
cultures and gain social confidence.
Accommodation in one of our carefully
selected regional centres completes
the experience along with various
activities and excursions.
We want to thank sincerely all
personnel of the camp, especially
teachers and trainers, and also cooks!
My son has so many fine memories!
And the photos are so beautiful! We
wish you good luck in everything! And
thanks for such interesting excursions.

(mother of Bradfield student)
Student welfare is a top priority. MUSS
understands the needs of young people
travelling away from home. In liaison with the
Manchester United F.C.’s Children’s Services
Officer we have dedicated teams to care for
all young players on and off the field in a safe
and secure environment. From the time they
arrive, to when they are packing their bags
on the last day, our students are well looked
after, motivated and happy. They discover
England, stay active and speak English - the
perfect combination for a study break.

The curriculum is
designed so that
students learn more
effectively, because the subjects covered in
the lessons are related to something they are
already interested in: sport.
Lessons are delivered in an interactive, task-
based manner using the latest classroom
technology. Well-qualified, enthusiastic
teachers with native-level language skills
motivate and engage students throughout
the sessions.
At the start of each camp all students take
a short language test which is used to place
them in an appropriate class. At the end of the
camp, students take home their workbook to
show parents and friends what they
have learnt.
Each student receives an individual
assessment from their tutor with advice on
how to further develop their language skills.
All the students should be able to see a clear
improvement by the end of the camp.
The project work carried out by students in our
most advanced classes helps to prepare them
for examinations such as; IGCE, IELTS, Trinity,
and ESB. The focus on communication skills
helps to prepare students for the full range of
Cambridge and Trinity examinations.

WHAT HAPPENS ON YOUR MANCHESTER
UNITED SOCCER SCHOOLS CAMP
Programmes vary, but typically it is
football every morning and English in
the afternoon, with trips, activities and
more football in the evenings and on
weekends. The schedule is designed to
give players plenty of time for football
and English but also time to enjoy
being with their new friends and being
in England. The staff make sure that
players get enough rest and downtime.
All excursions are supervised by our
staff - we have chosen these trips
based on the great feedback we have
had over the years. The highlight is
usually the visit to Old Trafford and the
specially arranged stadium tour!

Taking care of your children is our number one priority. We aim to
provide every child with the support and reassurance he needs.
We know that for many children this is the first time they have
been away from home. The first day or two can be anxious for
both children and parents. This is why we have three teams of
staff on our camps to provide different types of care at all times.
MUSS COACHES
Coaches look after the children throughout the football coaching
programme, and travel with them on some excursions, including
Old Trafford.
ENGLISH TEACHERS
The teaching team looks after the children in the classroom, and
assists the pastoral care team at other times - early morning, at
meal times, on excursions, and at bedtime.
PASTORAL CARE TEAM
The team looks after the children at all other times. Pastoral carers
live in the same accommodation as the children and are on call
24/7 for any problem that arises. They are accessible to every
child and ready to provide help, advice and reassurance whenever
needed. Every pastoral care team includes at least one qualified
physiotherapist to deal with minor injuries or illness.
