(Note: in some exceptional circumstances, England soccer clubs close their stadia in the summer months with very little notice and therefore exact destinations and availability may need to change without prior warning).

The program, devised by teachers who have been with Exsportise for many years, aims to get students involved and active during lessons by including: 

- Projects centered around sports and living in England.

- Productive lessons – drawing from what the students know and improving this in active and fun ways. 

- Topic-based activities in which sports play an important role.

Previous knowledge of English:  because everything on the camp English Language and Sports courses is in English, you will need at least one year’s English tuition before you come. Exsportise has lots of ways to help students get the most from their English Language course. For example: they have small classes of between 4 to 14 students. They assess students on arrival, and try their best to place everyone at an appropriate level (the maximum class size is 14 so they cannot always do this. They use a variety of group work and role play which makes it easy for students to get to know each other.  They integrate English studies with sports courses as much as possible, to create an enjoyable learning experience. Teachers pay special attention to the language needed for sports coaching and equipment. All Levels of tuition run from elementary through to advanced. They try to make sure all students have the language skills to manage well at camp, participate fully in their sports coaching, and enjoy getting around England on social outings and cultural trips. Plus, They actively encourage students at all levels to:

- Expand their English vocabulary.

- Improve their fluency, grammar and communication skills when speaking, listening, reading and writing.

- Build their confidence when interacting with others.

Advanced level students may take part in debates, write about sports themes, or explore English humor and culture.
