PRACTICAL Football TRAINING SESSIONS
Delivered by our coaches who are experienced in Manchester City's philosophy and methodology, our football sessions provide players with a genuine insight into how Manchester City players train. Players can also expect to better understand how a modern footballer is moulded, all the while continually honing their English skills in an authentic, practical, and engaging environment. Our football focuses on the following key areas:
- Development of individual technique and skills
- Challenging 1v1 practices
- Team play and working together
- Improved understanding of how Manchester City perform through playing games
Exciting English Language Lessons
Our language lessons follow a Manchester City themed syllabus and draw on interactive technology to make learning fun! In particular, players can expect to learn about different football professions and what a typical day looks like for a player, manager, analyst and journalist. This will be followed by practical activities which put the skills from these professions into practice, such as:
- Press conference and media interviews
- Football analysis and punditry
- Match commentating and discussion
- Video and written journalism projects
Not only will this help players enhance their English proficiency, but they will do so expressively, enthused by their favourite topic: reading, writing, listening, and talking all things football! Ultimately, players are encouraged by their language teacher to speak with confidence, creativity, and fluidity in the classroom; complementing the way they are inspired to play by Manchester City coaches on the training pitch.

Will my child be supervised at all times?
Yes, all players on our Football Language Programme are supervised 24/7 - be it by coaches during football training, teachers during language lessons or the Centre Manager (and other staff) when at the residence in the evenings.
Does my child need to do anything before they arrive?
All players will receive access to an online football-themed language placement test which they will need to complete. This will give us an initial indication of their existing English skills, and help us to advise on development areas before the programme starts. Pre-arrival online self-study materials will also be provided, covering football basics on fun interactive software.
Are you a native English speaker or able to speak English to an advanced level? Our intensive football-only training programmes might be better suited to you. Elevate your game to the next level with our Football Development Programme and Football Performance Programme for players aged 9-17.
