Our programmes
Player & Purpose Camp
Football is the environment. Mentoring is the framework.
About the camp
More than a football camp
Player & Purpose is our flagship summer and half-term programme — a 3-day camp that uses football as a vehicle to help young people develop real-life skills. Every drill, every game, every conversation is intentional.
Each day has a focus theme — Confidence, Accountability, and Leadership — woven through every session from the opening mentoring circle to the end-of-day group recap. Young people leave not just having played football, but having grown.
The camp runs during school holidays and half terms, open to young people who want to develop on and off the pitch.
The 3-day journey
How each day works
Confidence
We kick off the camp by exploring what confidence really means — on and off the pitch. Young people set personal goals for the three days ahead, then take them straight into football drills and games designed to push them out of their comfort zone in a safe, supportive environment.
- Morning mentoring circle — setting the tone and personal goals
- Football drills and skill challenges focused on individual expression
- End-of-day group recap — what did confidence look like today?
Accountability
Day two shifts the focus to accountability — owning your actions, supporting your teammates, and understanding that how you show up matters. Activities are designed to build trust and responsibility within the group, with football as the proving ground.
- Morning mentoring circle — what does it mean to be accountable?
- Team-based football games and collaborative challenges
- End-of-day group recap — moments of accountability from the day
Leadership
On the final day we bring it all together under the theme of leadership. Young people are encouraged to lead from the front — in their team, in their community, and in their own lives. The day closes with our awards presentation, celebrating growth across all three days.
- Morning mentoring circle — what kind of leader do you want to be?
- Leadership-focused football activities and final tournament
- Awards presentation — Player of the Camp, Growth & Mindset trophy, and certificates of completion presented by a special guest
