Football Camps Approach
Transformed lives of football camp participants
Values

- Christian faith
The Role of Coaches
In order for our camps to function properly, we need the right coaches. They are therefore carefully selected and thoroughly trained to work at a Christian football camp. It is important to us that all leaders and coaches are examples for the players not only on the field, but also off it.
Goals
- Welcome children from various football clubs to our summer camps each year
- Help participants improve and expand their football skills
- Emphasize fun during the camps and show that football should be about fun above all else
- Help children gain a positive attitude towards sport and guide them to fair play
- For players to make new friends and experience the unique atmosphere of a football environment
- Make the Christian faith an important aspect of our camps.
- Bring the gospel closer to all participants through testimonies, skits, spiritual programs and groups.
- Help players find the right place for sports in their lives
- Talk with players about life and sports from a Christian perspective during joint programs.
Football Camps Details
Every summer, we organize football camps for children and youth from all over the Czech Republic as the main organizer or in cooperation with our partners.
Our football camps are designed for players at all levels – both competitive and beginner footballers.
Participants practice various football skills under the supervision of trained coaches, play football matches between themselves or against invited opponents. An important part is also non-traditional football games and activities. The whole week is adapted to the skills and strengths of the players. In addition to football, we also play ping-pong, basketball or volleyball with the children in our free time. There is also a swimming pool and a fireplace for spending time together by the fire.
Football Camps
Ages 10-15
AGE
The camp is intended for players born between 2009 and 2014.
Slightly younger and slightly older players can request an exception from the main camp director.
Players will be divided into three age groups at the camp. Part of the program will be common for all age groups, part will be held separately.
PRICE
The price of the campsite is: 7200 ,-
A deposit of CZK 2000 must be paid together with registration. The deposit is non-refundable.
The remaining amount of the camp fee must be paid by May 15th.
We have been forced to increase the price of the camp due to the constant increase in the cost of everything we have to cover on site. We know that for some this may be too much. That is why we offer the possibility of a social scholarship, which can be applied for individually from the main camp director. Thanks to generous donors, we have funds in this fund that we can offer for this purpose.

Map with the exact location of the area. (Some search engines do not find the location correctly, but in a nearby village.)
We have been organizing our camps continuously in the Chvojkovský Mlýn area since 2014. (We were previously elsewhere.) The area suits us perfectly because we are alone there without other groups and it is closed to the surroundings. We have full board on site, children have meals 5 times a day. There is a large grassy field, a small training field and a small field with artificial grass right in the area. The area also includes a swimming pool, which we use in good weather. Younger children are accommodated in the building and older ones in brick cottages.
TRANSPORTATION
Everyone travels to the camp independently.
However, we offer the option of shared bus transportation from Prague. A shared trip from Prague and back costs 650 CZK, or 400 CZK if you use only one of the routes.
