This prestigious tournament is a valuable experience, and one which our boys are sure to flourish in.

You’ll also meet other great players signed to our Centres and see the standard of the best youngster from right across the country. Whilst we try to find excursions for the players during free time, the main use of this time will be to rest and prepare for the next game. What we are offering the boys is not a holiday, but a taste of tournament football in a professional environment, with players expected to conduct themselves in a professional manner. We will travel on Monday, 23 rd July, and aim to be at our accommodation at 5pm. On arrival players will be put into squads, have a meeting with their teammates and Coaches and be allocated their rooms for the week. PLAYERS MEETING This takes place on our arrival and here players will meet their Coaches and teammates for the week and be briefed on various aspects of the week. For example; Coaches expectations, both football wise and in terms of behaviour and conduct Players will be given a curfew for lights out The structure of the week, any planned excursions, team meeting times etc Allocation of playing kit for the week Health and Safety and Fire Procedures Players will have the chance to raise any queries with the coaches Each squad will have two coaches, a lead and an assistant. This means we will have an adult to child ratio of 1 – 8 in operation. ACCOMMODATION Players will be allocated into rooms. Squads will be grouped together, with coaching staff in adjacent rooms, in the interest of player safety. Whilst we will try to accommodate some room mate requests, players will be with their squad and encouraged to mix and make new friends, so they will not necessarily be put with players from the same Development Centre. DAMAGES Any damage to accommodation or the site will be invoiced to us and passed to you. Whilst we do not expect that his will happen, you must ensure that you are responsible and look after your surroundings. The playing of any ball games is strictly prohibited in the accommodation and surrounding areas. If you find a fault with your accommodation please report it to us so we can report it to reception. THE BANK – All player money will be collected by their Lead Coach for the week when they arrive. This money will be monitored and allocated to the player every day in accordance with any instructions given by the player’s parents. Please put money in a named envelope with a note explaining your son’s daily allowance. We would advise players budget £10 a day for food, and look to have around £10 a day for activities. All activities are optional, and how much money players bring is completely at your discretion. £100 for the week would be our guideline.

Activities        As  you  can  see  in  the  fixture  lists  for  the  tournament,  there  are  times  when  the  players  have  an  extended  break  from  football  and  in  these  times  we  will  look  to  arrange  for  the  players  to  do  things  away  from  football  to  unwind.    As  explained  earlier  in  the  itinerary,  we  would  advise  budgeting  for  around  £10  a  day  for  activities  as  there  are  things  in  the  local  area  that  we  may  be  able  to  take  the  players  to  do  a  bit  of  team  bonding  and  relaxing.    

• Cinema  –  there  is  a  Vue  Cinema  2  miles  from  Keele  University  • Driving  Range  –  across  the  road  from  Keele University,  there  is  a  golf  course  and  driving  range  • Bowling  –  There  are  various  bowling  alleys  to  be  found  nearby.  • Waterpark  –  Waterworld  can  be  found  just  15  minutes  from  Keele  University  

 These  are  just  examples  of  some  of  the  activities  that  we  are  looking  for  the  players  to  be  able  to  take  part  in  away  from  the  football.  However,  we  need  to  reiterate,  these  will  only  be  available  to  boys  if  we  have  enough  free  time  and  it  will  not,  in  their  coaches  opinion,  impact  negatively  on  their  football  performance.    We  are  attending  a  professional  tournament,  not  going  on  holiday,  and  football  will  be  the  focus  of  the  week  for  the  players  and  coaches.    

Evening  Meals    In  line  with  our  professional  approach  to  the  tour,  we  have  organised  set  menus  at  different  restaurants  local  to  our  accommodation  for  the  players  to  pick  from  each  evening.  These  menus  should  provide  our  players  with  the  right  foods  so  they  have  enough  energy  to  perform  at  their  best  each  day.      We  will  be  eating  at:    Harvester,  Trentham  Lakes  Cherry  Tree  (Hungry  Horse)  Pizza  Hut,  Longton  Frankie  &  Benny’s,  Stoke  on  Trent
