Guide to Summer Football Camps
What do football camps offer to children?
🔹 Development of technical and tactical skills
Daily training under the guidance of qualified coaches allows children to perfect the fundamentals of football – from dribbling to passing, and tactical positioning on the field. It’s an opportunity to apply what they learn in sports clubs in practice.
🔹 Improvement of physical condition
A football camp isn’t just about football – it also includes warm-ups, general fitness exercises, running, and physical games. Thanks to this, participants strengthen muscles, improve coordination, and learn to approach physical activity healthily.
🔹 Learning teamwork, responsibility, and independence
Football is a team sport, so children learn cooperation, supporting others, and sharing responsibility. Being away from home also helps them develop independence – they need to take care of their belongings, punctuality, and adhere to rules.
🔹 The opportunity to meet peers with the same passion
At the camps, children from all over Poland (and sometimes abroad) meet, united by one thing – a love for football. Joint training sessions and fun quickly build friendships that often last long after the camp ends.
🔹 Time offline, without phones or computers
Being away from screens is an immense value today. Children at camp are so busy with activities and physical movement that they don’t miss electronics. It’s the perfect chance to rediscover the joys of spending time outdoors.
What to take to a football camp?
Parents often wonder about this. Here’s a practical list of things to pack for a football camp:
- 2-3 sets of football kits (shirts, shorts)
- Cleats (football boots for grass) and possibly indoor shoes (if there are indoor training sessions)
- Shin guards
- Football socks (at least 3 pairs)
- Training clothes for cooler days (tracksuit, sweatshirt)
How much does a football camp cost?
The cost of a football camp for children and teens in 2025 can vary significantly depending on the location, duration, program, and the organizer’s reputation. For camps held in Poland, prices start at around 1,700 PLN for a one-week session, typically with a less intensive sports profile. The average cost of a 7-8 day football camp with daily training, a professional coaching staff, and additional activities ranges from 2,390 to 2,790 PLN. Longer trips lasting 10 or 11 days, which offer a more comprehensive sports and recreational program, cost between 3,299 PLN and 3,399 PLN.
For families looking for football camps abroad, options such as camps in Croatia and the UK are available.
The price usually includes accommodation, meals, training, supervision by coaches and counselors, insurance, and a program of additional activities. Extra costs may include transportation, pocket money, medical exams, or purchasing necessary sports equipment.
