Football Camps

Year-Round Football Camps at The A Academy

Our football camps run throughout the year during every half term and school holiday, offering children a fun, structured environment to develop both their football and social skills.

Training takes place from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM, following a carefully designed daily schedule that balances learning, gameplay, and fun. Arrival begins at 8:45 AM, with players grouped by age and skill level to ensure the best possible experience.

We maintain small group sizes a maximum of 10 to 12 players per group, depending on age, to provide individual attention and quality coaching.

Our camps welcome players aged 3 to 12 years old and are held in Maida Vale, at both Paddington Academy and Paddington Recreation Ground.

Make the most of your
holiday experience with a
well-structured training camp!
