Liverpool FC has joined forces with The Language Gallery to deliver a series of summer residential courses for young players aged 12 to 17.

Through this exciting partnership, two types of programmes will initially be offered. English language and football residential courses will develop participants both in the classroom and on the pitch.

The sports leadership and football programme will be delivered through a combination of workshops, seminars and interactive lessons to improve essential leadership skills important in both football and everyday life.

On both programmes, 20 academic lessons will be delivered each week alongside a minimum of 20 hours of LFC coaching, player workshops, skill challenges, tournaments and player feedback sessions.

A range of technical and tactical LFC coaching will be delivered to challenge each participant in an enjoyable learning environment.

Reds ambassador Ian Rush commented: "We're really excited to announce the launch of our summer residential programmes today.

"Providing an all-round education for young players, both on and off the pitch, is something that we're passionate about at LFC and these courses aim to do exactly that.

"This is a fantastic Liverpool experience for young players and we look forward to hosting many young players from around the world on these programmes this summer."

A spokesperson for The Language Gallery commented: "We are delighted to be delivering the education and football summer camp programmes in partnership with Liverpool FC, who share our passion for developing well-rounded individuals.

"The courses offer English and non-English speaking children across the globe the opportunity to learn new skills and make new friends from different cultures in a fun and positive environment."

Coaching activities will be run by experienced LFC coaches and the teaching will be delivered by qualified tutors from The Language Gallery, bringing together the best from education and sport to create the ultimate summer experience.

Weekly residential courses will begin on July 5 and will continue for six weeks through to August 16. Click here for more information.
