A football-first tour where the venue itself is the experience.
Set within 330 acres of Staffordshire countryside, St George’s Park is where English football’s best come to work and for two to three days, it becomes your team’s training base.
Your group will take part in professional coaching sessions delivered by St George’s Park coaches. Step behind the scenes into spaces normally reserved for England players, and stay at the same hotel used by England squads during training camps. Add a well-matched friendly fixture, and your players get the full cycle: learn it in training, then prove it in a game.
Every tour is tailor-made by our team, with the planning, safety standards and 24/7 support that schools and clubs have trusted for decades.

The football experience
The heart of this tour is the Play Like the Pride Experience, a 2.5-hour session built around a 90-minute pitch session, delivered by St George’s Park coaches at the home of the FA and the England teams.
Sessions follow the same philosophy that shapes the national team programme, giving players a genuine taste of the professional pathway: how elite players train, how they prepare, and the standards they hold themselves to.
Every session can be tailored to your group’s age, ability and objectives and groups can book a single session or build multiple sessions into their tour.
There’s more to it than the pitch. Your players will get exclusive behind-the-scenes access, stepping into the boot room to put their boots on like an England player, a small moment that brings the whole experience to life.
