YOUTH FOOTBALL ACADEMY EDINBURGH - WINTER camps

Players should bring the following:

• Football boots (appropriate for the playing surface).

• Shin guards for safety.

• A water bottle to stay hydrated.

• Snacks or a light packed lunch (depending on camp duration).

•Weather-appropriate clothing, including layers and waterproofs if needed.

Yes, our camps are designed to cater to players of all abilities. Whether your child is a beginner or plays at an advanced level, our coaches will adapt sessions to ensure every player is challenged appropriately and supported in their development.

All camps proceed regardless of the weather. Players should come prepared with suitable clothing for wet conditions. If extreme weather makes outdoor play unsafe, alternative indoor activities may be arranged where facilities allow.

Yes, parents are welcome to watch from the sidelines. We encourage parents to observe their child’s progress, but we ask that you avoid entering the training area to ensure the players remain focused.

Camps are grouped by age and sometimes skill level. Check the details on each camp page to find the best fit for your child, or feel free to contact us for guidance.

Yes, spaces are limited to ensure a high-quality coaching experience with individual attention for each player. We recommend booking early to avoid disappointment.

All camps are led by experienced, qualified coaches, including our Head Coach Darren Murray and Academy Manager Declan Fergus (UEFA Youth A Licence holder). Each coach is dedicated to creating a supportive and fun environment while delivering professional-level training.

Players should bring their own snacks or packed lunch to the camp. Please ensure any food brought does not contain nuts, as we strive to maintain a nut-free environment to protect players with allergies.

We understand that circumstances may change. Please contact us as soon as possible if your child is unable to attend a booked camp, and we will provide guidance on refunds or rescheduling.

Yes, siblings can attend the same camp if their ages fall within the specified range for the sessions.

Our coaches are first-aid trained and prepared to handle minor injuries on-site. For more serious incidents, we will contact parents immediately. Please ensure we are informed of any medical conditions or allergies during the registration process.

Yes, our coaches provide feedback on each player’s performance and progress during the camp. This helps players understand their strengths and areas for improvement.
