Football Holiday Camps, Ages 4-14
Half-term and school holiday football camps for ages 4–14, all abilities welcome. Led by UEFA-licensed, DBS-checked coaches, with a safeguarding policy and a named Welfare Officer behind every session, not just a page about football.
Soccer Schools Are What Set JCSS Apart
Led by UEFA-licensed coaches, our holiday soccer schools give children a genuine football experience, not just a few hours of kickabout.
Every session covers the full game: technical and skill practices, small-sided games, and age-appropriate tournaments, all built around our JCSS values so players enjoy it, stay engaged, and actually learn.
We also have local recruitment staff from professional organisations attending our camps, plus a local photographer capturing quality content of your child, sent straight to your phone. Our soccer schools are always in high demand, so spaces fill fast.

Fantastic, kind coaches who go the extra mile — Jack and the team have brought on my grandson’s confidence no end. He’s not shy to try new things anymore.

A few quick questions parents ask
Are your coaches DBS-checked?
Yes. Every coach on the JCSS team is FA & UEFA qualified, DBS-checked and first aid certified. It’s non-negotiable, not a nice-to-have.
My child has never played football before, is that okay?
Completely. Our camps are built for players of all abilities, from complete beginners to those already playing for a team.
Is JCSS insured and what's your safeguarding policy?
JCSS is fully insured with Insure4Sport and has a safeguarding policy in place, with founder Jack Walton named as our Safeguarding & Welfare Officer.
Will I get to see how my child did?
Yes, every player gets a 1-1 feedback booklet, plus we have a local photographer at camps sharing quality photos of your child straight to your phone.
