Immersion, not a tournament

Why this week is an immersion, not a tournament.

Plenty of soccer tours fly a team over to play a few matches against local sides, then come home. As one of our own families put it, that is no different than driving to Florida for a tournament. This Manchester week is built the other way around.

A tournament trip
Fly your team over
Play matches against local sides
Sleep in a hotel, see the sights
Parents drop off and wait
Fly home
This Manchester week
Your player trains and plays alongside English kids and teams
They live the week of an English footballer
An itinerary built around your player, not a roster
Your family is in it together, the whole way
Everything points back to the football

The difference is the word “within.” Your player does not visit English football. They step inside it.

The week

Day by day.

This is the shape of the week. The clubs and the matches vary from tour to tour, and we finalize the detail with you, because the week is built around your player. The fuller sample week, with everything a tour can include, is on the experience page.

Day 1Arrive in Manchester
Flights land and a bus takes you to the hotel. A light session to shake off the travel, then a first evening alongside English academy coaches and players.
Day 2Into the club environment
A full session alongside Manchester City academy coaches and players, the standard of an English club up close, with scrimmages to finish.
Day 3City up close
Integrated small-sided games with academy players, a tour of the Etihad Stadium, and a session at the Manchester City training complex, then player-evaluation meetings.
Day 4On to Merseyside
Travel over to Merseyside, meet the Everton academy coaches, and train with the club. Integrated games across age groups, then a first evening in a second great footballing city.
Day 5The Everton training ground
A recovery session and a full session at Finch Farm, Everton's training ground, with lunch and match prep alongside the academy coaches and integrated games against age-group sides.
Day 6Manchester United up close
Back into the Manchester United environment for training matches with the development side at the club's training ground, a tour of Old Trafford, and a session with academy coaches at The Cliff.
Day 7A Premier League matchday
A lighter morning, the National Football Museum, and a Premier League match in the evening, watched from inside the game your player has spent the week living.
Day 8Last evaluations and home
Final player evaluations, goodbyes, and travel to the airport for the journey home.

Every day here is a starting point. The real week is your player's.

Together

Your family, on this week.

You aren't waiting this one out. You travel with your player, you are at the training ground for the sessions, you share the meals and the days, and you are there for the Premier League matchday at the end of the week. When your child comes off the grass after a session inside an English club, you are the one they tell first.

Who is looking after my child on this trip?
Your player is supervised by IPPE staff from the meeting point to the end of the itinerary, through training, travel, and the evenings. Every player travels with a parent, and staffing runs at roughly one staff member to every ten players. On this week, parents travel too, which is its own layer of care.
What is handled for us?
Accommodation, meals, transport to and from training, and the daily schedule are organized and run by us. We handle the logistics so you can be present for the football.
Plan it together

Plan the Manchester week for your player.

Get on a call and we’ll build it around them. We’ll walk through the dates, the level, your family’s plans, and the honest answer to whether this is the right week.
