Holiday Camps FAQ's

What to Bring:

Packed lunch, snacks, drinks (suitably non-fizzy). Children should always bring plenty to drink with them e.g. juice or water.

What to wear:

Clothing

Children can wear any suitable sports clothing but please ensure that in colder weather they are wearing track suit bottoms and sweatshirts over their kit to keep them warm. In hot weather please ensure that your child brings a hat or cap and is covered with a generous layer of suncream. Items of clothing should be name-tagged where possible.

Footwear

For health and safety reasons all children should be wearing shin pads during the classes. If children do not possess football boots they can wear trainers. If you are buying boots, moulded soles are sufficient.

Child Behaviour & Discipline:

Behaviour

We do not tolerate swearing or bad behaviour from any of the children and we reserve the right to remove any child from the course, without refund of fees, for these reasons. Please click here to view the child discipline procedure;
