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.

                                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!
