UK Summer Football Trip

Unforgettable UK football and cultural trip

This exciting trip is open to all children aged 10-12 years old (birth year 2012 & 2013). The main focus of this trip to England will be playing football matches against local school teams and visiting some of the most famous football grounds in the UK while developing and using their English skills.

The trip will be based in the lovely countryside just outside of Burnley, North West England. The main leaders of the trip are run by Andy Richards (qualified British school teacher for the last 21 years) and Mark Ridley (qualified English teacher for over 16 years). There will also be two further adults on the trip.

We will be staying in an amazing, private, country house surrounded by fields and activities for the children. The children will have traditional English homemade food throughout the whole stay.

Everyday will be full of activity for the children and we will always be involved in an English environment so they will have plenty of opportunities to improve their linguistic skills with local children and adults. They will also link up with different schools and clubs in a casual environment where they will have the chance to make new friends and practise using their English.

Even though the main focus of the trip is for the boys to play football and tour several different stadiums within England, they will also experience a number of different exciting activities.
