For children attending our RESIDENTIAL football course - the learning and adventure is 24/7!
The fully immersive experience is for young players who want to challenge themselves, grow in confidence, and live the life of a Sedbergh athlete.
With expert coaching from former professional players and experienced educators, competitive match play, and outstanding pastoral care, all set within our historic boarding houses and exceptional facilities, every aspect is designed to support growth both on and off the pitch.
Football Coaching Programme - Daily coaching led by experienced, inspiring staff — including professional players and academy-level coaches — with a focus on technical development, tactical awareness, physical conditioning, and football intelligence.

The Residential Experience
Being part of the Sedbergh Courses residential experience extends learning and adventure well beyond the daytime sessions; offering children 24/7 opportunities for personal growth, connection, and confidence-building. So, when the day’s activities wind down, the adventure continues — with evenings full of laughter and friendship that make the residential experience unforgettable.
Overnight Accommodation and Care
Pupils stay in our purpose-built boarding houses, where they’re cared for by experienced, nurturing staff who are used to helping children settle in quickly and feel at home. From the moment they arrive, we foster a warm and inclusive environment where kindness, routine, and support are at the heart of every day.
Our pastoral team works closely with the coaching and activity staff to ensure every child is happy, healthy, and engaged — whether that’s through a quiet chat before bed, encouragement after a challenging session, or shared laughter during evening activities.
We create a supportive setting that balances fun, structure, and care — helping children to grow in independence while always feeling safe, seen, and valued.
