NEW! English Speakers Only Camp

With our international players in mind — who for many years have been joining Polish Soccer Skills camps from all over the world in ever-growing numbers — we have created a dedicated camp conducted entirely in English.

The camp programme will be identical to all other Polish Soccer Skills camps. The only difference is that the coaching and support staff will be exclusively English-speaking, and fluent English proficiency is required to participate.

For this special camp, we have chosen one of the top football training centres in Poland — the very place that served as the home of Cristiano Ronaldo and the Portuguese National Team during UEFA Euro 2012. The camp will take place at the four-star Hotel Remes Sport & Spa** in Opalenica.

In addition to excellent hotel facilities, the centre offers seven natural grass football pitches, one artificial turf pitch, swimming pools, gyms, and a wide range of additional amenities.

The camp includes the same skills assessments and performance tests, which may lead — based on strong results — to selection for the Polish Soccer Skills National Team.

All documentation, including individual skill evaluations and player reports, will also be provided in English.

6 Camp Locations

We have prepared six carefully selected and conveniently located venues for the Polish Soccer Skills Summer Camps 2026: Krynica-Zdrój, Spała, Gniewino, Ustronie Morskie, Żnin, and Opalenica (English Speakers Only Camp).

All locations offer high four-star standards, with rooms featuring private bathrooms and full sanitary facilities, as well as internet access throughout the hotels.
Accommodation details vary by location:

  • Gniewino – triple rooms
  • Ustronie Morskie – five-person rooms
  • Spała – rooms for 2–5 participants
  • Krynica-Zdrój – triple rooms
  • Żnin – triple rooms
  • Opalenica – triple rooms

Each location also offers a unique tourist and natural setting. Our camps are held in the mountains, by lakes, by the sea, near thermal resorts, and at the Central Sports Centre – Olympic Training Centre.

Training sessions take place on full-size football pitches, depending on the location with natural grass or artificial turf. In the event of heavy rainfall, indoor sports halls are available. At every location, participants will also have access to swimming pools or beaches, as well as conference and educational facilities.

We invite you to explore the detailed descriptions of each Polish Soccer Skills Summer Camp 2026 location.

Free Soccer Skills PRO App

Test results from the camps are now available in the free Soccer Skills PRO app, giving players and parents access to a range of unique features, including:

  • Player profile with a clearly defined skill level badge
  • Skill progress evaluation and performance tracking
  • Identification of areas for improvement
  • Personalised, year-round training programme, tailored to individual test results
  • Skill comparison tool – allowing players to compare their level with peers from the Polish Ekstraklasa, Spain’s LaLiga, and France’s Ligue 1, across different age groups and playing positions

COACHES FROM THE BEST FOREIGN LEAGUES

At all Polish Soccer Skills Summer Camps, training games and player observations are conducted by international coaches affiliated with clubs from Europe’s top leagues.

As a result, our players gain first-hand experience of the training philosophies of countries that have won FIFA World Cups and UEFA European Championships.

So far, our camps have hosted coaches connected with clubs such as Real Madrid, Sevilla FC, Granada CF, Athletic Bilbao, Getafe CF, Valencia CF, 1. FC Köln, FC Bayern Munich, FC Barcelona, AC Milan, and many others.

Many players have been noticed by international coaches from professional clubs during our camps and subsequently invited to trial sessions.

WHAT STAFF DO WE PROVIDE?

At Polish Soccer Skills camps, we provide a proven, fully trained, and experienced coaching and support team. Our staff includes football technique coaches (with a ratio of 1 coach per a maximum of 4 players), athletic conditioning coaches, sports psychologists, camp supervisors, and a camp director.

At all camps, training games are led and observed by international coaches from countries such as Spain, Germany, the Netherlands, Portugal, Italy, and the United Kingdom.

All coaches, in addition to holding a Polish Soccer Skills coaching licence, also possess official football coaching qualifications, while all supervisors have completed specialised childcare and educational training courses.

SELECTION TO THE POLISH SOCCER SKILLS NATIONAL TEAM

Polish Soccer Skills camps are open to all players, regardless of their current skill level. However, the top-performing players from the summer camps — across all age categories — are selected based on objective skills assessments and receive selection to the Polish Soccer Skills National Team for the 2024/2025 season.

Selected players are included in a dedicated development, care, and promotion programme. This includes participation in special training camps and international friendly matches against leading foreign teams.

National Team players from previous seasons had the opportunity to showcase their skills to coaches and scouts while competing against clubs such as Atlético Madrid, RCD Espanyol, Arsenal, Sevilla FC, Sporting CP, Juventus, FC Bayern Munich, Manchester City, and others.

FREE INTERNATIONAL TRIP FOR TOP PERFORMERS!

As a reward — in addition to selection to the Polish Soccer Skills National Team — the top-performing players will receive a FREE international training camp, during which they will play a friendly match against one of Europe’s leading football academies. Selected players will also be appointed captains of their Polish Soccer Skills National Teams.

Top players will be selected in the following categories: U9, U10, U11, U12, U13, U14, U15, U16, U17, U19, WU11 (girls), WU13 (girls), WU19 (girls), as well as Best Goalkeeper (female/male) in categories U9–U12 and U13–U19.

In total, 15 participants will qualify for the international trip.

Every camp participant takes part in the skills assessments and has a chance to be selected.

Attending two camps means two opportunities to qualify.

FOR EVERYONE REGARDLESS OF THE SKILL LEVEL

All players can participate in the Polish Soccer Skills camps - girls and boys between the ages of 7 and 19, regardless of their skill level and position on the pitch.

On the first day of the camp skills tests are conducted, based on which four-person training groups are selected based on age and skill level. Therefore there is no situation that someone with good skills trains with someone who is just starting to play football.

In the Polish Soccer Skills camps every year participate over 5,000 players from all over Poland - both from Ekstraklasa clubs and small school teams - and from 20 countries around the world.

The Polish Soccer Skills camp is a place where the entire football community is integrated, regardless of club affiliation.

EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS FOR PARENTS

Thinking about our players’ parents, we have educational materials prepared by a sports psychologist.

Do you sometimes wonder how to support your child not to exert pressure, what to say after a lost match or how to encourage to training?

In these educational materials we have answered those and other questions. We will suggest how to support a young player on his football path.

1 COACH PER 4 PLAYERS

Football technique training sessions are always conducted in small groups of four players, allowing the coach to focus on every detail and correct individual mistakes effectively.

After just one week, players often demonstrate a reduction of incorrect football habits and a better understanding of the purpose of each exercise.

Thanks to the individual approach and the high intensity of training, our camps can be compared to learning English in London — as everything that happens during the camp is football-related, players experience a noticeable improvement in their skills and confidence on the pitch.

Following our training sessions, players become more aware, with a clearer understanding of the objectives behind each exercise.

ADIDAS KIT, GYM BAG, WATER BOTTLE & CAP

In addition to the clothing provided for use during the camp — including a rain jacket and a polo shirt — each participant will receive a brand-new adidas training kit with the Polish Soccer Skills logo, which becomes their personal property.

The training shirt will also be customised with the participant’s surname.

To ensure proper hygiene, all players’ kits are washed regularly during the camp, and identical replacement kits are provided while the original kits are being laundered.

Important: The kit selected in the registration form is custom-ordered specifically for the participant and therefore cannot be exchanged or refunded. We kindly ask you to choose the kit size carefully.

Please note that adidas sizing tends to run small. If you are unsure about the correct size, we will be happy to advise you.

In addition to the training kit, each participant will also receive a cap, a shoe bag, and a water bottle — all featuring the Polish Soccer Skills logo.

 

INDIVIDUAL SKILLS PROFILE

In addition to a camp completion certificate, each participant receives a dedicated digital report (PDF) at the end of the camp, presenting their individual online skills profile.

The assessment of football skills and personal attributes is carried out by the coaching staff and sports psychologists.

During the official camp closing ceremony, parents also have the opportunity to speak directly with the coaching staff and discuss their child’s development and progress.
