The camps run from 29 June to 16 August 2026 and are fully residential, based at top boarding schools near London. Players can choose to stay for one or two weeks, living and training alongside other talented young athletes from around the world.

Players on our summer camps will train on the pitch twice a day with Chelsea FC coaches, using the same coaching curriculum as our Academy. They can choose to focus entirely on their football with our Total Football option, which includes afternoon workshops on a variety of important topics for young players including match analysis, nutrition and goal-setting, or international players can replace the workshops with engaging football-based English lessons.

Talent ID Day at Chelsea FC training ground

A game-changing new addition to our 2026 football camps, this exclusive experience gives players a rare insight into the world of elite player development.

All camp participants will have the opportunity to take part in a day of coaching, including a structured skills test, at the training ground in Cobham where they will benchmark their performance against current members of the Chelsea Academy. To complement the on-pitch challenge, a member of the Talent ID team will share expert advice on how young talent can stand out to professional scouts.

Players who particularly stand out will be invited back to Cobham for a second date later in the year, where they will have the opportunity to showcase their skills directly to the Chelsea FC Talent ID team.
