A Typical Week

For much of the two-week programme, the timetable follows a structured pattern of English language tuition in the mornings before the focus switches firmly to football in the afternoons, with a range of training sessions lined up. Saturdays feature competitive matches with local youth teams. However, a number of excursions are also included - including a day trip to Edinburgh and a visit to the national football stadium at Hampden - as well as a range of evening activities.
