⚽ Important Update – Isle of Man Camp Times

As part of our commitment to keeping our Isle of Man Football Camps as affordable and accessible as possible for families, we will be making a slight change to our camp operating hours.

Our new camp times will be:

🕙 10:00am – 4:00pm

Over recent years, we have experienced a significant increase in the cost of hiring the facilities required to run our Isle of Man camp.

Rather than passing the full impact of these increased costs on to parents through higher camp prices, we have made the decision to slightly adjust the length of the camp day. This will help us to keep the cost of attending our camps at a competitive rate, while continuing to provide the same high standard of coaching, activities and overall camp experience that children and parents have come to expect from Soccer Star Coaching.

We appreciate that changes to timings may require some adjustment for families, and we thank you for your understanding.

We remain committed to providing children with a fun, active and action-packed day of football, and we look forward to welcoming everyone to our next Isle of Man Football Camp.

New Camp Times: 10:00am – 4:00pm

⚠️ SAFEGUARDING NOTICE – NO MOBILE PHONES AT CAMP

As part of our ongoing commitment to safeguarding all children attending Soccer Star Coaching Football Camps, we are introducing a blanket ban on children bringing mobile phones to camp.

📵 Why are mobile phones not permitted?

While mobile phones can be useful outside of camp, they create a number of safeguarding concerns within a children’s activity setting.

Our coaching team needs to be able to supervise the children effectively throughout the day.

It is important to recognise that, even with appropriate supervision in place, it can be very difficult for coaches to know when a child has a mobile phone or is using one. Mobile phones can easily be kept out of sight, particularly during lunch and break times, when children may be sitting in groups eating or relaxing. Similarly, during coaching sessions, children may briefly step away to get a drink while coaches are supervising and delivering activities to the wider group.

Although children remain within the supervised camp environment, it is not realistic for a coach to observe every individual movement of every child at all times or to see what may be displayed on a personal device. A child could potentially access inappropriate content, send messages, take photographs or videos, or communicate online without a coach immediately being aware.

For this reason, rather than expecting our coaches to monitor children’s individual mobile phone use, Soccer Star Coaching now operates a clear no-mobile-phone policy during the camp day. This provides a much safer and more manageable safeguarding approach and helps protect the privacy and wellbeing of every child attending our camps.

Mobile phones create concerns around:

📸 Taking photographs or videos of other children without permission

🌐 Accessing inappropriate online content

💬 Messaging, social media and online communication that coaches cannot supervise

🔒 The privacy of other children attending the camp

⚽ Children becoming distracted from activities and supervision

📱 Lost, damaged or stolen devices

For these reasons, children must not have a mobile phone in their possession during the camp day.

🩺 Medical Exceptions

We understand that in certain circumstances a child may genuinely require access to a mobile phone or connected device for a medical reason, for example, as part of the management or monitoring of diabetes.

If your child requires a device for a genuine medical reason, you must contact Soccer Star Coaching before camp and make us aware of this. Appropriate arrangements can then be agreed with the coaching team.

Wanting your child to have a phone so that you can contact them or check that they are OK during the day will not be considered a medical exemption.

🚶 Children Travelling Home Independently

We appreciate that some older children may need to bring a mobile phone because they are travelling to or from camp independently.

In these circumstances, the phone must be handed to a member of the coaching team when the child arrives each morning. It will be stored securely during the camp and returned to the child at the end of the day.

The child will not be permitted to keep or use the phone during camp.

☎️ Parents Can Always Contact Their Child

There is no need for parents to contact their child directly on a personal mobile phone during camp.

Soccer Star Coaching has a dedicated phone that parents/carers can contact if they need to get a message to their child or need to speak with us during the camp day.

Likewise, if a child needs to contact their parent/carer for any reason, our coaching team can facilitate this through the Soccer Star Coaching phone.

📱 What Happens If a Child Is Found With a Phone?

If a child is found using or carrying a mobile phone during camp without an agreed medical exemption:

The phone will be taken from the child and stored securely by the coaching team until the end of the camp day.

It will then be returned, and we will speak with the parent/carer to ensure that the phone is not brought to camp again.

Repeated failure to follow this policy may require us to discuss the child’s continued attendance at camp with their parent/carer.

🛡️ Safeguarding Comes First

This policy is not intended to make things difficult for children or parents. It allows our coaches to concentrate on what matters most — providing a safe, supervised and enjoyable environment for every child attending our camps.

By removing personal mobile phones from the camp environment, we can better protect children’s privacy, reduce opportunities for inappropriate recording or online activity, minimise distractions and ensure that our coaches can supervise the children effectively.

We appreciate the support and cooperation of all parents and carers in helping us maintain the highest possible safeguarding standards at our camps.

⚽ Important Update – Extra Time Package

Unfortunately, we will no longer be offering our Extra Time Package at our Isle of Man Football Camps.

This decision has been made following a review of the package over our most recent camps. The number of families choosing to use the extended hours has reduced considerably, meaning that only a small number of children have been attending the Extra Time sessions.

At the same time, we have seen a significant increase in the cost of hiring the facilities required to provide the extended hours. With fewer families using the service and increased facility costs, it is unfortunately no longer sustainable for us to continue offering the package.

We appreciate that the Extra Time option has been useful for some families over the years, particularly those requiring additional flexibility around drop-off and collection, and we are sorry that we are no longer able to provide it.

Thank you for your continued support and understanding.

Our football camp runs over 5 fun-packed days, from 10:00am to 4:00pm, giving children a full day of football, games, and activities in a safe and positive environment.

The camp is open to children of all abilities, from complete beginners to more confident players. Children are grouped by age, ensuring sessions are enjoyable, supportive, and suitable for everyone.

Each day is well structured and fully supervised, led by our team of F.A. qualified, DBS-checked coaches who work with children every day. Sessions focus on developing football skills through fun drills, games, and challenges, helping children build confidence, make friends, and stay active.

Our aim is simple — for every child to learn, play, and have fun while enjoying a great football experience.

Children need to bring a packed lunch from home and snacks for break times, along with plenty of drinks!   

Lunch will be 12:00pm – 1:00pm each day. 

Your child can look forward to an action-packed, fun-filled week, led by our friendly, experienced coaches in a positive and supportive environment.

Each day is packed with exciting football-themed activities and games, designed to keep children active, smiling, and engaged. Throughout the week, children will also have the chance to win extra medals and trophies by taking part in a range of fun competitions, including:

• ⚽ Penalty Shootout

• 🥅 American Shootout

• 🏟️ Football Olympics

• 🎈 Fun Inflatables

• 🌍 World Cup Tournament

• ⭐ Skill Points Winners

• 🏆 Player of the Camp Awards

Alongside football skills, we focus on confidence, teamwork  and enjoyment, helping children to challenge themselves while having fun.

Football is also a fantastic way for children to make new friends, build social skills, and create lasting memories — all while staying active and entertained throughout the week.

Children will have a blast testing their shot speed, playing soccer darts, and putting their aim to the test on our three amazing football inflatables!

Our players love the variety of activities at our soccer camps, with something new every day to keep them engaged, challenged, and entertained.

The inflatables are just one of the many features that make our camps truly special, offering a fun, dynamic experience that you won’t find anywhere else!

What’s involved?

The unique practice techniques that we use are specifically designed to work with children of ALL ABILITIES, ranging from the complete beginner to the more advanced player.

The camp is tightly structured with the children fully supervised at all times. This means that parents can go to work or have a relaxing day, as the camp is run by our professional qualified F.A. coaches. All coaches are DBS checked and currently work with children on a daily basis, enabling players to learn essential football techniques, together with a “fun” element.

What can the kids expect?

Lots of fun! All aspects of the game are covered including; dribbling, passing, shooting and more. Each child will be provided with a football during skill sessions. Kids will play matches & fun games every day.

What should children wear?

The camp is held outdoors on football pitches, so children may wear:

• SUITABLE OUTDOOR CLOTHING

• Trainers or football boots

(If your child wears football boots to the camp, please make sure they also bring trainers)

• Shin pads – if possible.

On the final day of the camp, a presentation ceremony will be held.

Parents/Carers and other family members are more than welcome to attend the presentation.

What will my child need to bring?

As mentioned above, a change of clothes is always a good idea, in case we get caught by a heavy shower.

What happens if it rains?

The camp will still go ahead as planned! We’re fortunate to have access to indoor facilities, although not all children can be in the sports hall at once. If the rain is heavy, groups will rotate indoors to enjoy football or take part in quizzes and fun games led by the coaches. In the event that the sports hall is unavailable, we’ll make use of other indoor spaces to ensure the children are kept safe, active, and entertained until it’s dry enough to return outside.

Is there an Early Bird discount?

Yes! See above for more details.

Is there a sibling discount?

Yes, heavily discounted sibling tickets are available for second and subsequent child(ren) in the same household.
