On the pitch
Players on camp train twice a day, learning the skills and mindset required to play for England’s most successful football club. Coaching sessions are held every morning and evening and are tailored to age and ability level with a focus on the Liverpool FC values, individual and group drills including dribbling, passing, turning, and shooting, as well as set piece training, small-sided games and a weekly tournament.
Each player gets an assessment meeting with their coach and an individual feedback report to take home. Players gain a better understanding of their game, whilst developing independence and self-confidence within an international football environment.
Camp Options
Choose between Football Focus Workshops and Football + English Lessons alongside football training. Players on the Football Focus programme will follow a comprehensive programme of workshops led by LFC coaches. Players who choose Football + English take part in engaging, football-focused English Language lessons.
Classroom sessions take place in the afternoon, between morning and evening football training sessions.
-
Players take their development further through specialist workshops led by LFC coaches, exploring topics like mindset, game intelligence, teamwork and wellbeing. Informed by the LFC values and designed to give young players a competitive edge, these sessions equip them with the knowledge, tools and confidence to perform like a Liverpool FC player on the pitch.
-
Qualified teachers inspire players to learn through fun, dynamic, project-based lessons centred on LFC and football topics. Daily lessons offer a break from the physicality of training, and players benefit from individual attention in small, ability-based classes. Football training is delivered in English and players live among native English speakers on camp. This immersive English environment supports rapid development and accelerates learning outside the classroom. Every player receives a detailed English progress report at the end of the camp.
“The football coaching workshops are specifically designed to support on-field training and improve players understanding of themselves as athletes and how they contribute to the team”
- Dan, Program Manager, Liverpool FC International Academy
