Football Camp in Bristol with Academic Summer and British Camp
By Al Gibson
We love this one. Our Football Camp launched in 2025 in partnership with British Camp, has been a brilliant success and we cannot wait to grow it further in 2026. Running in July and August at Sidcot School, near Bristol in the beautiful British countryside, young players aged 8 to 17 from Bristol and across Europe and beyond. Book your place for 2026.
This is so much more than a football camp. Our FA and UEFA qualified coaches develop not just your skills on the pitch, they build the qualities that make a truly great player. Mental resilience, emotional intelligence, teamwork and leadership. These are the skills that separate good players from great ones, and this is exactly what we focus on every single day.
Running in July and August at Sidcot School in the beautiful British countryside, young players aged 8 to 17 from Ukraine, Poland and across Europe come together in small groups, with high standards and big ambitions. Every ability is welcome whether you are just starting out or serious about taking your game to the next level.
And because this is Academic Summer, football is only part of the story. Students also join English language and subject lessons, developing their communication skills and life skills alongside football. Sport is the common language, but learning is always at the heart of everything we do.
Vitalii Bresler, co-founder of British Camp, calls it “edutainment” and we think that says it perfectly. The goal is not to transform a student's English in two weeks. It is to inspire them, give them a reason to speak, help them make friends and keep them learning long after the camp ends.
As Helen says: "What I really admire about Vitalii and British Camp is that, even though they have faced huge challenges due to the war, they have looked for opportunities. That is what entrepreneurs do in difficult times — they adapt and come out stronger. We are proud to have them with us at Sidcot as our partners"
A warm welcome. A beautiful setting. Football, friendship and learning for life.
