This summer, British Football Academy (BFA) will be hosting nine soccer camps at various locations in Tokyo, Chiba, and Yokohama. These fun-filled, three-, four- and five-day camps are suitable for children aged 4–14 years old.
Younger children (4–8 years old) will be split into two groups in the mornings for 80-minute or two-hour sessions, while the older children (9–14 years old) will have a three-hour session in the afternoons. English FA-qualified coaches aim to deliver structured games to develop the children’s football skills and tactics, culminating in matches at the end of each session. All children will be awarded participation certificates and children who sign up for the full three-, four-, or five-days will receive a coveted BFA Camp T-shirt.
Three-day camps are running at the British School of Tokyo Showa Campus on July 3–5, 10–12, and 17–19, from 10am–noon and 1:30–4:30pm. Four-day camps are running at Miyashita Koen on July 24–27 from 10am–noon and 1–4pm and at the British School of Tokyo Showa Campus on August 20–23 from 10am–noon and 1:30–4:30pm. Five-day camps are running at Makuhari International School on July 30–August 3 from 10am–noon and 1–4pm, Tokyo International School on August 6–10 from 10am–noon and 1:30–4:30pm, and Yokohama Country and Athletics Club on August 13–17 from 10am–noon and 1–4pm.
