Meals
Breakfast and dinner are included in your meal package. Meals are served at your accommodation and are a delicious selection of traditional English dishes, consisting of all the basic food groups to readily satisfy the appetites of hungry soccer players from around the world.
Following one of your meals we try to arrange an ex-professional player to come and give an expert after-dinner speech, in order to inspire your future performances.
Your Own Team Training Session
During your stay, you will also receive a number of training sessions from guest coaches who are either F.A Qualified or currently working with professional teams. Coaches are on hand to teach you new skills and drills, whilst educating coaches on how English players prepare clubs for that big game on tour. Coaching sessions normally last for around 3 hours and are held on playing fields or state-of-the-art astroturf soccer fields, depending on the time of year.
Visit & Tour Around a Professional Ground The Training Ground
Whilst you are in London, we also arrange a tour around one of the big Premiership or Championship clubs. This tour will give you the chance to see the stadium and get the chance to walk on the same pitch that have seen some of the world's finest players. You will get to see the changing rooms and gain a feel for where the top players prepare for the game. Finally, you will get to see where all the trophies are kept and learn about the history of the club.
Excel Soccer tours can sometimes arrange for trips to watch players train. If you are lucky you may even get to meet a player and have the chance to take photographs and get items signed. This experience can be beneficial for both players and coaches as you get to see how the best players and coaches go about their everyday work.
City Tours
Once you have finished your hectic training session, completed the tour and match, you will then be given the chance to enjoy a relaxing tour around the UK's capital city. Enjoy a trip to Oxford Street, visit Big Ben and Buckingham Palace and learn about the history.
