“To bring Arsenal Football Camps to Dublin, and specifically to the school where I spent 14 years as a student, is a real full-circle moment for me. Having worked at Arsenal for four and a half years, including the last three years in this role, I’m incredibly proud to create this opportunity for young Irish players. The chance to experience the same coaching philosophy and methodology that underpins Arsenal’s academy, right here in Dublin, is something I’m delighted to help bring home.” – Dermot O’Kelly, Arsenal Football Development Executive
Who can Join?
This is an exclusive opportunity for players aged 6 to 17 to experience the methodology of the Premier League Champions! From players embarking on their footballing journey to high-performance players, the Arsenal Football Camps cater to all abilities while ensuring that each player develops on and off the pitch in a nurturing and enjoyable environment while learning to ‘Play the Arsenal Way’.
What to Expect!
Players will be trained by certified Arsenal Football Development Coaches where they are grouped together based on age and ability to develop on and off the pitch in a fun and supportive environment.
The training programme is based on teaching young gunners the same techniques, skills and game IQ our academy players learn at our official Arsenal Youth Academy at Hale End where top-tier homegrown players such as Bukayo Saka, Myles Lewis-Skelly, Ethan Nwaneri, Max Dowman, Jack Wilshere and Emile Smith-Rowe have been produced.
