Easter Football and Multi-Sports Camps Watford

Are you looking for a way to keep your child active, engaged, and off their screens this spring?

Our easter holiday camps in Watford offers the perfect solution. At Xtra Time, we specialise in high energy sports coaching that helps children build confidence while having the time of their lives. Whether your child is a budding football star or simply loves to run around and play with friends, our holiday camp is designed to cater to every interest and ability level.

Finding the right holiday courses can be a challenge for busy parents. You want an environment that is safe and professional, but also one that your child actually looks forward to attending. That is why we have developed a multi sports program that focuses on variety, skill development, and, most importantly, fun.

The Ultimate Easter Football Experience

For many children in Watford, football is the highlight of their week. Our specialised football sessions are led by a team of experts, including UEFA A Licenced coach. This level of professional instruction ensures that your child isn’t just playing a match; they are learning the fundamentals of the game.

During the easter holiday, our football drills focus on:

• Ball Control and Dribbling: Improving touch and confidence on the ball.
• Passing and Tactics: Learning how to work as a cohesive team.
• Shooting and Finishing: Developing the techniques needed to score goals.
• Mini Tournaments: Putting skills into practice with friendly, competitive matches.

We believe that sports should be inclusive. Whether your child is playing for a local club or kicking a ball for the first time, our coaches adapt every session to make sure everyone feels involved and encouraged.

Why XTRA Time?

At Xtra Time, we make sports fun, inclusive, and engaging for every child, regardless of their ability or experience.

At Xtra Time, we do more than teach sports; we help children develop key life skills that will benefit them in all aspects of life.

Our team is made up of dedicated professionals who are not only skilled in coaching but are also passionate about inspiring young athletes.

We believe that introducing children to sport in a positive way lays the foundation for a healthy and active lifestyle.

Beyond the Pitch: Multi-Sports Variety

While football is a huge part of what we do, we know that variety is the key to a successful holiday camp. Not every child wants to play football all day, every day. Our multi sports approach introduces children to a wide range of activities that improve their overall physical literacy.

Our holiday courses include a mix of:
• Tag Rugby: A great way to build speed and spatial awareness.
• Gymnastics and Dance: Focusing on balance, flexibility, Great Fun!
• Dodgeball and Kwik Cricket: High energy games that improve hand eye coordination.
• Athletics: Fun track and field challenges that boost stamina and explosive power.

And much much more!

By offering such a broad range of sports, we ensure that every child stays motivated throughout the week. It prevents the “mid week slump” and keeps the energy levels high from Monday through to Friday.

A Typical Day at Our Watford Camp

We aim to make our holiday courses as structured as possible, so children feel comfortable and safe. A typical day starts with a warm welcome and a fun group warm up. This is followed by specialised coaching sessions where children are grouped by age and ability.

Around midday, we take a well earned break for a packed lunch. This is a vital time for children to sit down with their new friends, socialise, and recharge their batteries for the afternoon sessions. We encourage parents to provide a healthy, balanced packed lunch to keep energy levels stable for the high octane activities that follow.

The afternoon usually involves team based challenges and tournaments, allowing children to apply the skills they learned in the morning. We finish the day with a group reflection and a “Player of the Day” recognition to celebrate effort, sportsmanship, and improvement.
