About

Skills that will be taught include dribbling, passing, heading, shooting, co-ordination amongst many others. A World Cup tournament is held on the last day of each week.
If you’re looking for a great way to keep your children safe, active and in an environment that supports learning and new friendships, then our football camps are an ideal option.

Designed for children
Run by LSC, the Football holiday camps in Merseyside, Crewe, Cheshire, Leeds, and throughout Greater Manchester are held in local leisure centre facilities and schools. Led and delivered by highly experienced coaches with particular expertise in coaching children of all ages and abilities.
Fun and learning for all children
The emphasis on our holiday camps is very much on having fun. But skills development, participation and broader life skills are a close second, and no existing level of football ability is required.
Children are put into groups based upon age and ability so that they are learning with appropriate peer groups and can feel confident and supported at their level. Above all, there is a real focus on fun and enjoyment, and on making new friendships, in addition to learning new sporting skills.
A structured environment
Our football coaching courses are delivered in a structured format that mimics the school day and is broken down into smaller sessions.
Here’s what our parents think:
“My son has enjoyed training with you over the summer. He is very much enjoying his soccer training this week. He has a fantastic instructor: full of energy, full of fun and great with kids, makes them welcome, proud of themselves and encourages them all the time.”
“We will make sure we enrol my son with him again next time.”
There is a supervised lunch and regular breaks for refreshments. Children will learn football techniques and skills and will take part in practices, tournaments, games and matches, where the aim is for everyone to have fun and develop at their own pace.
Prizes and trophies can be won throughout the week, for achievements that include participation, teamwork and attitude as well as football excellence.
Suitable for all
LSC runs a number of children’s school holiday football camps in West Yorkshire, Cheshire, Manchester and Merseyside, in the summer holidays and throughout the year. The courses are suitable for children of ages 4 (already attending reception at school) to 11 years.

The emphasis is definitely on enjoyment and friendships, and every session is run by highly qualified and experienced coaches who work closely with the children and adapt the sessions to meet their needs. We accept children of all ages and abilities, and we can also accommodate children with special educational needs.
We maintain a high coach-to-child ratio, to ensure that every session is fun, focused and offers your child plenty of individual attention in an environment in which they can thrive.

About
Our Dance & Gymnastics holiday courses feature various sessions including cheerleading, gymnastics and street dance.
Our Dance & Gymnastics camps will improve your child’s fitness levels whilst helping them develop strength and agility, co-ordination and balance as well as posture, flexibility and masses of self confidence.
Our camps don’t just teach the relevant dance and gymnastics skills. They also help to improve interpersonal skills and encourage expression through the specially developed syllabus. These skills are skills for life and will have a far reaching effect in all areas of your child’s development.
