Chelsea Football Club is taking its renowned academy philosophy directly to young players across the United States this summer, with a series of Soccer Schools offering elite coaching in cities from Southern California to the East Coast.
The programme gives players aged six to 17 the opportunity to train under Chelsea FC International Football Development coaches, experiencing the same methods and values that shape talent at Cobham and the club’s Academy. This is not merely a summer camp, it is Chelsea, delivered on American soil.
A Chelsea education, wherever you are
Each camp is led by expert UEFA qualified coaches and built around the principles that define player development at every level of the club. Participants will develop technically, grow in confidence, and experience what it means to play the Chelsea way, in an environment that balances elite coaching with fun, ambition and belonging.
Whether a committed club player looking to sharpen their game or a football curious youngster inspired by a summer of World Cup football, there is a Chelsea Soccer School tailored to their needs.

More than a summer camp
For young players, it is a chance to train with a club that has produced some of the world’s finest talent. For parents, it offers the assurance that their child is in the hands of qualified coaches operating within Chelsea’s own development framework, the same framework that has guided the careers of Reece James, Levi Colwill and countless others.
Places are limited at each location, and demand is expected to be high. Parents are encouraged to secure their child’s spot early to ensure they do not miss this opportunity.
