Why have we become the #1 camp in the country?
We have developed a unique camp program that offers players a much broader experience than that often delivered by local coaches. Our staff are selected and trained in the UK exclusively to work in your child's camp and they have a genuine interest in helping each player develop and providing them with a memorable and positive experience.
What is special about the camp curriculum?
Challenger's NEW 1,000 Touches Curriculum has been created to address the key areas of technical development that have the biggest impact on performance in the game. We know that the more time the players spend in contact with the ball the quicker they will master important core skills.
