COACHED THE
UNITED WAY
For ten residential days, young players train inside Manchester United’s Soccer School, coached by UEFA and FA-qualified staff in the club’s own methodology. Days run on the club’s youth-academy pitches — technical drills, small-sided games and match play — threaded through with seminars on leadership, goal setting, nutrition and English language, an Old Trafford stadium tour with the Megastore and Museum, and a weekend excursion to London and Wembley. Players are coached at the academy training facility, not signed or assessed by the club — there are no trials or scouts, and this is a development camp, not a trial.

How are children supervised on a residential camp abroad?
The camp is residential with on-site supervision day and night, coordinated by the local London office. Picknic sends its own chaperones — one per eight for this age group, always including a female chaperone — alongside the club's coaching and welfare staff. All Picknic staff are police-verified and first-aid certified, a doctor-on-call is arranged, and parents get a WhatsApp update each evening.
