Manchester City Camp – Highest Rated Program | Ertheo Education & Sport

The Manchester City football camp was our star program of 2018. Their incredible staff and excellent sports facilities have earned them the top spot as our highest rated program. The camp even offers two different program options for boys and girls – a more football-focused full-training program and a standard program for all levels that includes English classes.

For a young football fanatic, training on the same fields where the stars of Manchester City train is without a doubt a unique and incredible opportunity. Camp participants are always inspired by the idea of training in the same facilities as Manchester City’s first men’s team, the women’s team, and all the Skyblue club’s inferior teams.  And, of course, the facilities are extremely well-cared-for with grass and artificial fields.

Young soccer players from all over the world attend the Manchester City football camps. This allows participants the opportunity to meet other children from other cultures and practice communicating cross-culturally. They bond over their love for football and often become lifelong friends. These friendships help children learn about other cultures and also learn the importance of tolerance and open-mindedness.

Manchester City is one of the few clubs that offers programs exclusively for girls. The girls get the incredible opportunity to meet the women’s team – one of the most successful women’s teams in the world.

Although we can’t guarantee a visit, we can say that in past years, participants were visited by the players in the last two weeks of August. Around this time, Manchester City players return to the facilities to begin training again after their summer vacation, and camp participants get a wonderful surprise.

In 2018, Manchester City selected the Salford residence to be the new student accommodation for their summer camp. This significant upgrade has put Manchester City above all other football camps in the UK in terms of accommodation.

The Manchester City summer program has established itself as the highest quality campus in England in 2019.  Participants not only get the chance to train in the club’s official facilities, but they also get to reside in a newly constructed residence that offers individual rooms with private restrooms and excellent lounge areas.

English classes at Manchester City camps are very different from traditional English classes. They are interactive and highly focused on football themes. We saw this first-hand during our first visit to the camp. Participants really do have a great time learning English at Manchester City. Since participants are truly interested, they learn English almost naturally.

Classrooms are modern and complete with all the technology teachers need to conduct interactive classes. That being said, students often leave the classroom to learn and practice English in in real situations. For example, they visit the press room and practice mock interviews in English as if they were professionals.

Although we can’t classify this program as a high-performance training program, the training program is still quite intense. Players follow a training plan and routine quite similar to a professional footballer’s training routine.

They train for 30 hours a week and are tested on their field performance and physical fitness. They also attend recovery sessions (phsyical therapy and hydrotherapy).

*Manchester City full-training programs received higher scores and greater customer satisaction rations than other prestigious full-training programs like Real Madrid’s.

Food tends to be the biggest complaint at all summer camps. Home-cooked meals are surely better than any camp food, and improving the menu is always a challenge and objective for camps.

In 2018, the only complaints about the Manchester City programs were food-related. This year, the camp has changed all their kitchen staff and menu options to offer more balanced food that participants will enjoy.

This is the greatest disadvantage. Although goalkeepers can participate in City programs, there is no training program specifically for goalies.

The opportunity to train in the official training facilities of Manchester City comes with a price – Participants take a private bus to travel to and from the residence and training facilities.

Noone has complained about the training level of this camp. However, we’d like to remind you that this is not a high-performance training program. High-performance soccer academies offer more appropriate summer programs for elite training.

All the added value of these programs make them a bit pricier than other summer soccer programs. Sometimes it’s better to spend a little more for a better and more complete experience.

This is our favorite football camp in England. With excellent training facilities and accommodation, great monitors, and two training program options, Manchester City is the perfect option for all footballers (except for those who prefer elite training).

The standard program is perfect for boys and girls who are looking for linguistic emersion and also for Manchester City fans. The full-training program, on the other hand, is for boys and girls of intermediate to advanced skill level who’d be better off in a more intensive program.  It’s also ideal for boys and girls with a higher level of English because, although there are no English classes with the program, the students still practice English with full linguistic immersion.

Groups are organized by age (9 – 12 years old, 12 – 17 years old) and level so that students feel comfortable together and the level of group members is similar.
