About Exsportise Summer Academy Camps

If you are looking for a memorable and rewarding experience for your child, look no further than Exsportise.

At Exsportise we offer an Academy programme which includes a specialist option of either sport, music or dance. Students receive six hours of specialist coaching or tuition in their chosen option each week day (30 hours per week)*. We provide an environment where students improve not only their their skills and technique in their chosen specialist option, but also grow their self-confidence and social-skills.

Exsportise has been running sports and activity camps since 1988 and we know that what we offer really works! We provide a caring, fun, friendly, safe and secure environment. As a residential camp, all our staff live on-site and we offer one of the best staff-to-student ratios available. Our goal is to ensure that all students leave Exsportise with improved skills and confidence; the motivation to participate further in their chosen Academy activity; and with friendships and memories that will last them a lifetime. We are BAPA accredited.

*This is the equivalent to a full term of sport, music or dance at school - a season’s-worth of coaching and tuition in one week.

OUR HISTORY

Exsportise was founded in 1988 by Dutchman, Bram van Asselt.

As a former top-level hockey player and sports development officer, Bram saw an opportunity to develop something special and unique. He launched Exsportise originally to offer professional sports coaching to young people in the UK. Then in 1997 Exsportise began offering English language courses alongside sports coaching using sport as a catalyst for English language learning and development.

Almost 30 years later, the success of Exsportise - one of the best sports coaching and English language summer schools around today - speaks for itself.

Since its creation in 1988, Exsportise has provided professional sports coaching to more than 25,000 students. Nowadays, most students attending Exsportise come from overseas and study a combination of professional sport and English language.

In 2021, recognising that so many UK children have missed out on a significant amount of schooling and self-development due to the pandemic, Exsportise is offering an Academy programme consisting of sport, music or dance only,

HIGH LEVELS OF STAFF SUPERVISION

Exsportise offers one of the best staff-to-student ratios available. We employ qualified coaches and instructors, many of whom return year-after-year providing continuity and a very high quality of care. All of our staff live on-site and include House Parents, Medical Officers, Lifeguards and professional coaching and teaching staff, all overseen by an experienced Centre Manager at each location.

TRUE ME - a unique, inspiring Evening programme exclusive to exsportise

After a day of playing sport, dancing or practising music, all students participate in our bespoke, unique and inspiring evening programme called True Me. This programme consists of a series of competitive challenges (physical, mental, fun, social) that have been designed to gradually build students’ confidence levels and introduce them to the concept of authenticity. Confident and self-aware individuals build natural, genuine and positive relationships with others. This helps them to become successful in every aspect of their personal, social and professional lives and go on to become ambitious and high-achieving citizens of the 21st Century.

TRULY INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE

Because our summer camps welcome students from all over Europe and even further afield, our UK students receive a truly international experience. UK and international students undertake their sport, music or dance tuition, as well as the True Me programme, together. This adds a wider cultural dimension to our camps that provides additional personal, social and linguistic benefits to all attending students.

EXSPORTISE OFFERS A RANGE OF ACADEMIES in SPORT, MUSIC and DANCE

At Exsportise, all of our Academies are delivered by suitably qualified and experienced coaches and instructors, many of whom have played professionally or semi-professionally themselves. Our courses are suitable for students of all levels, from beginners through to advanced and elite levels.
