Young footballers in Watford can sharpen their skills this summer at Kellogg’s Football Camps delivered by the Watford FC Community Sports and Education Trust. From 21 July to 28 August, the charity runs three venues across the area for children aged 5 to 13, with daily sessions from 9am to 4pm on 3G Astro pitches.
The Watford camp operates from 22 July to 28 August at Westfield Academy, Tolpits Lane, priced at £30 per day for ages 6 to 13. In Harrow, Cedars Youth & Community Centre on Chicheley Road hosts sessions from 21 July to 14 August at £25 per day for ages 5 to 12. The Harpenden camp at Roundwood Park runs from 21 July to 27 August, also £30 per day for ages 6 to 13. All coaches are FA qualified, DBS checked, first aid trained, and have completed FA safeguarding workshops.
The camps are one part of the Trust’s wider work, which reaches over 16,000 people each year through sport, health, and inclusion projects. In April, the charity launched a partnership with Allwyn, the National Lottery operator, whose 1,100 Watford-based staff can now take two paid volunteering days annually to support Trust activities. Rob Smith, the Trust’s Community Director, said the link with Allwyn would help create “healthier, happier, stronger communities” and bring volunteers directly into projects.
Set up over thirty years ago by Graham Taylor OBE and Sir Elton John, the registered charity also runs community hubs at Cedars and at Meriden Community Centre in Watford. Profits from the summer camps flow back into its charitable mission across Hertfordshire and the London boroughs of Harrow and Hillingdon.
