GrassRoots Football Camps

EOLAS+ GrassRoots Football Camps are the complete experience for “football obsessed” young players.


Our camps open up new ways to learn and practice the skills and techniques of this awesome game.

 

Our aim is to and we believe football is a game for everyone, so not only does our high quality coaching support those who are well established at clubs, we also promote to new comers and help them fit in just as comfortably, whilst encouraging them to join their local club. Our relationships with local clubs is something we pride ourselves on and we aim to further connect as we push to new regions on our journey to develop this game for all.

Mary Dean's Primary School Holiday Camps

Discover our camps

Designed by our very own Plymouth Argyle youth coach and current Plymouth Schools’ FA manager Simon Smith, you’re young football players can expect detailed upskilling of the basics coupled with huge levels of fun and a coaching team with real passion for the games core values and what they bring to our day to day lives.

 

The camp takes the players through different methods of learning the core skills of football, such as ball manipulation & passing, dribbling and shooting (to name a few). Our aim is to add to the already solid foundations put in place by the fantastic club game.

 

With the additional hours available at a full day at camp, we can focus on individual elements of football in more detail and repeat them throughout a longer period using
different fun drills and games. This allows us to really reinforce quality techniques and get the future stars returning to their clubs having completed high quality
practice.
