English Language and Football Summer Camp

Improve Your English and Develop Your Football Skills

Combine football training with English language lessons at FCV International Football Academy’s residential summer camp in England.

Designed for players aged 14–19, our two-week programme offers the same football training, accommodation and activities as our Football Summer Camps, with an additional eight hours of English language lessons each week.

Delivered in partnership with Leicester Language Academy, the lessons help international students develop their English communication skills while enjoying a structured football programme and meeting players from around the world.

Based at Grace Dieu Manor Park in Leicestershire, our 2027 camps offer four two-week sessions between 27 June and 21 August 2027.

English Language Lessons

Alongside football training, students receive eight hours of English language lessons each week, delivered in partnership with Leicester Language Academy.

Lessons focus on practical communication skills, helping students develop their confidence in speaking, listening and using English in everyday situations.

Classes are limited to 12 students, allowing for more individual attention. Lessons cater to different English proficiency levels, from beginners to advanced learners, so students can learn at a level suited to their existing abilities.

Students also have opportunities to practice their English outside the classroom while training, taking part in activities and spending time with other international players.

Football Training

Students take part in football training led by FCV’s UEFA-qualified coaches and experienced former professional players.

Sessions are designed to accommodate different ability levels, with coaching focused on developing technical skills such as passing, dribbling and shooting, alongside tactical awareness and match understanding.

Players also have opportunities to put their training into practice through competitive matches, combining their development on the pitch with English language learning throughout the camp.

Accommodation includes shared twin bedrooms with private bathrooms, providing a comfortable environment throughout the two-week camp.

Three nutritious meals are served daily, with access to our dedicated players’ hub, featuring pool, table tennis and Xbox games.

Our residential campus allows students to enjoy their football training, lessons and leisure activities all in one location.

Excursions and Cultural Experiences

Beyond the football pitch and classroom, students can enjoy organised excursions and activities during their stay at FCV.

Trips may include visits to famous football stadiums and popular attractions, giving students the opportunity to explore more of England.
