ARSENAL FOOTBALL DEVELOPMENT IN PARTNERSHIP WITH EXSPORTISE
FOR PLAYERS (inc. Goalkeepers) aged 9 - 17
We believe that better people make better players. Our course is developed to equip young players with the necessary tools and skills to excel on and off the pitch. Every player matters to us, and they are at the heart of our approach.
Arsenal Football Development has designed a philosophy and training programme that recreates the experiences of Arsenal Academy players. The programme focuses on a range of skills and drills, tactics, and match play. It allows players to enhance their football skills while learning to 'Play the Arsenal Way.' Students will learn English through football and in the classroom with Exsportise’s British Council-accredited English course, providing students with 21st-century English language skills.
All programmes are run in partnership with Exsportise Summer Schools.

OFF THE PITCH - ENGLISH
Accredited by the British Council for teaching English in the UK, Exsportise offers students the opportunity to pursue a passion or interest and use it to improve their English language skills.
Each morning or afternoon comprises three distinct 60-minute lessons aimed at developing all receptive and productive language skills, expanding vocabulary, refining accuracy in speaking and writing, and boosting confidence. All classes are interactive, engaging, enjoyable, and responsive to the students' needs.
Each three-hour session will include:
Core English - Grammar/Lexis
Enrichment - Integrated skills/Communication skills
21st Century Projects - Content and Language Integrated Learning/Collaboration
At camp, English becomes an integral part of students' daily life. English is heard, spoken, and practised during football sessions and recreational activities, providing students with numerous opportunities to apply what they have learned in the classroom and fully immerse themselves in the language.
PERFORMANCE & DEVELOPMENT
Arsenal Football Development and Exsportise share the same coaching philosophy, emphasising holistic experiences and development. The training programme focuses on improving players' physical, technical, tactical, and psychological abilities on and off the field.
They will also receive an official end-of-course certificate, contributing to their ongoing game improvement.
In addition to football development, the English programme provides an end-of-course certificate indicating the student's English level and an English report from their primary teacher.
The camp is truly international, with participants from over 65 countries. This provides a unique opportunity for players to experience different cultures, make new friends, and create lasting memories.
