NIKE hockey and English camps

Residential camps for boys and girls aged 11 to 17 at Radley College

COACHING

The coaching team, combining recent and current international players and elite-level coaches, creates a high-intensity and fun training environment that motivates and inspires players to improve. Players are challenged on all aspects of their game in twice-daily training sessions focusing on a variety of technical and 3D skills, set pieces, matchplay situations, and athlete development. A tournament at the end of the week provides players the chance to showcase their skills in a competitive environment.

ENGLISH

Classes focus on sport, engaging students’ passion for the subject to promote language learning in a fun and interactive environment. Using the CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) model of English, qualified teachers infuse language learning into lively and active classes where sports-based projects, discussions and activities take centre stage. Teachers guide students to improve their verbal communication skills while discussing legendary players, interviewing coaches, or writing and speaking their own commentary. Learning is supported by English teachers living on-site and English is spoken at all times throughout the camp, creating an immersive learning environment.

Results

Players gain confidence and new skills in hockey and English while making new friends and enjoying the unique experience of camp life. Coaches offer insight into life at the highest level of the game. Each player receives an individual coaching review and a certificate to take home as well as a written report from their teacher and advice on how to continue improving their English at home.
