Kicker's residential and non-residential football holiday & soccer Camp packages offer top quality coaching and instruction, fun and friendship. These international holidays and Camps have been designed to suit everyone - individuals of all ages from 10+ years to 17 years from anywhere in the world who are looking for something a bit different to the normal Summer holiday or who want some high quality coaching to improve and learn new skills and techniques, as well as make lots of new friends having a great time. No question it beats hanging around at home all Summer watching TV!
 The common language on our holidays and camps is english but you only need basic english to participate and people of all nationalties are welcome to attend. (We also offer optional conversational English and Spanish tuition and classes for those who want to improve their language skills as well as their football, for more information click on the link to read about our optional foreign language classes in English and Spanish.)
We run our football (soccer), inline hockey and basketball holidays and Camps at the same time in the same location so you can come with your friends and have a great holiday together while getting top quality coaching in your favourite sport.
Our football (soccer) coaches are highly experienced, expert football coaches who are passionate about the game and love to play themselves too. They like nothing better than sharing their experience and knowledge, meeting new players of all levels and playing soccer 24/7. They are relaxed and easy going, friendly and welcoming.
Examples of Coaches on our Kickers Coaching team include:
- SIMON WINGATE - a Sport Science graduate, Simon is an old hand when it comes to coaching at Summer Camps... in 2005 he worked in the USA as Player Development Officer with the New York Metrostars (Major League Soccer) and in the UK Simon has worked for Arsenal FC at the Exportise Camps. But Simon doesn't just spend the Summers coaching, he is a full-time professional coach the rest of the year with Charlton Athletic and Gillingham FC. Playing experience includes University teams, League teams and Ramsgate FC Youth team. Already qualified to FA Level 2 standard, Simon is currently taking his FA Level 3 badge (UEFA B Coaching Award).
- MATT DUNN - Matt lives and breathes football. He has been playing and coaching for many years, and he's still young! An FA Level 1 Coach (currently studying for Level 2), Matt is passionate about sport and is also a qualified coach in Athletic and Basketball. One of the core coaching team on the Aaron Jacob Football Academy with experience coaching at the Charlton Athletic Development Centre, last year Matt attended the Elite Centre Course and Junior Trial week residential course at Chelsea FC. Currently at University studying for a Sport Coaching Science BSc, Matt is looking forward to working with players of all level and ages on the Kickers Camp this year and helping them achieve real progress.

 Over each Kickers Football (Soccer) Camp we cover a broad range of football skills essential to your game, whether you play at local team level or in the Premier League! We will also have plenty of pick-up games, some matches and an end of Camp tournament... not forgetting the chance for you to test yourself against the Kickers staff team!

As with all good coaching from Club level down, we go "back to basics" at the beginning of the Camp. Basics are everything in any sport, whether shooting a puck in hockey, practicing ball control in football or working on shooting skills in basketball. From "back to basics" we will build towards game play, helping you perfect your techniques and skills and then putting them in context of a game situation, playing with your team.
 You will need to be reasonably fit for the Camp as you will be playing a lot of football (perhaps more football in a week than you normally do in a month!) but don't worry, we won't be making you run every morning or anything. Infact we won't be concentrating on stamina or fitness at all directly, those are things you can work on yourself. Kickers is not a boot camp! Coming on a Kickers Camp is all about you becoming better at the game, more skillful, more accurate, more tactical, more consistent, better able to read the play and to position yourself on the pitch so you are a more effective member of your team.
At the same time we aim to have fun, to ensure you have an unforgettable time sharing your love of the game with lots of new friends. Off-pitch there will be plenty of time for activities (bowling, swimming, films, internet etc), for seeing something of Barcelona, visiting the beaches, theme park etc!
