Irish FA Football Camps

The Irish FA Foundation has launched its M&S Food 2025 Easter Football Camps.

The two-day camps are set to be staged across Northern Ireland on Wednesday 23 April and Thursday 25 April.

As part of the foundation’s grassroots football development programme, and proudly supported by M&S Food, five camps will be delivered throughout Northern Ireland.

Each of the M&S Food camps is offering a girls-only section for parents/guardians who prefer that option. 

The sessions provide opportunities for children aged 5-11 to develop and improve their football skills in a structured environment with professionally trained and vetted staff.

Claire Rea from the Irish FA Foundation said there will be plenty of fun games and activities at the camps as well as the opportunity to work on skills development.

And she added: “Our staff are looking forward to building on the success of previous camps and helping children to keep active, to get outdoors and to meet up with friends and make new friends this Easter.”

Places must be booked online. The cost is £35 for one child and £60, £82.50 and £100 for two, three or four kids respectively from the same family.

Included in the Easter schedule this year is a camp for children with disabilities (aged 7-14).

It is also taking place between 23 and 25 April, running from 11am to 1pm each day, and the venue is Avoniel Leisure Centre in Belfast.

Participants may have a learning and/or physical and/or sensory impairment, and each participant must be able to walk/run unaided.

And there is a buddy system in place where each participant may, if they wish, bring a sibling or friend within the same age band.

All coaches will be suitably qualified with experience of working with children with a disability. The cost is £20 per participant, and £20 per buddy.
