LB Football Academy Training Camps

Welcome to the LB Football Academy Training Camps page! Our training camps are meticulously designed to cater to the needs of aspiring football players at every stage of their development. Whether you’re a young beginner eager to learn the basics or a seasoned player looking to refine your skills, our camps provide the perfect platform for growth, learning, and excellence.

Our Academy Ethos

At LB Football Academy, we are committed to fostering positive human qualities, promoting diversity and inclusion, and ensuring a player-centric environment where development takes precedence. Our training camps are an extension of these values, offering players a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in the sport, sharpen their skills, and build character both on and off the field.

Camp Locations

We carefully select our training venues to offer the best possible experience for our participants. Each location is equipped to meet the specific developmental needs of our players, from technical drills to tactical training:

The Lab (Southampton): Our indoor facility is designed for high-intensity technical development. The tight spaces encourage quick thinking and fast play, helping players improve their dribbling, passing, receiving, ball striking, and awareness. With a focus on small-sided games (1v1, 2v2), players get more touches on the ball, maximizing their growth in a controlled environment.
BHS GYM: Our outdoor sessions at BHS GYM are all about tactical development. Here, players engage in game-like scenarios that foster a deeper understanding of football’s phases. Our “learning through play” methodology ensures that players not only practice but also understand the strategic elements of the game.

Age Brackets

We believe that age-specific training is crucial to player development. Our camps are organized into age brackets to ensure that each player receives training appropriate to their level of experience and skill:
