The coaches on your summer camp will stay with local families in your community for the duration of the camp week. This has become one of the most popular elements of Challenger's British Soccer Camp program. Each year we receive hundreds of emails from families telling us what an incredible time they had hosting one of our coaches. In return, not only will you receive a rebate of up to $80 towards the cost of your summer soccer camp fees, but more importantly you will enjoy a unique week learning about the UK, learning about soccer and building lasting friendships with our staff.
"I just wanted to take time to let you know what a wonderful time me and my family had being a host family. Matthew was a delight to have in our home last week. We sincerely appreciate the opportunity to be a host family and would do it again, in a heartbeat! Matthew was a gracious guest and fit into our family very well. This is an experience that we will remember for the rest of our lives. We miss him already and talk about him often. Thanks again and we have thoroughly enjoyed being a host family!"
What is expected of a host family?
We encourage our coaches to fit in with the normal pattern of your family life. We would like you to provide the coach with a bed; showering facilities; laundry facilities and breakfast, sack lunch and dinner.
Do we have to do anything special once they are here?
Each coach will traditionally be busy during the day and on some occasions may work an evening camp. If you wish to arrange any extra family social activities with your coach you may, however this is not required.
Can I find out about my coach prior to their arrival?
The scheduling of camp staff normally takes place the week before the camp and your local camp coordinator will be provided with a profile of the coaches who will working on your camp. These profiles contain any special dietary restrictions they have.
Do I need to provide transportation?
No. The coaches will be provided with their own transportation.
How long do they stay with us?
The coaches will typically arrive in your town on the Sunday evening before the start of your camp. We try to get them to arrive at around 6:00 pm and they will usually meet at a central location e.g. the camp coordinator’s house, restaurant, school etc. Unless otherwise notified, the coaches will stay with you until the Sunday following camp.
We recieve 100s of emails similar to these below every summer. So make this a summer not only your children will never forget; but you to can have memories of a great summer as you make lifelong friends with our staff!!!
"We recently had the opportunity to host coach Adam and coach Mark in our homes during the camp in El Dorado, AR. I can say with no hesitation that these fine young men represented your organization very well and we all look forward to camp again next year. More importantly, Adam and Mark were fantastic role models and family members in our home. They were polite, respectful, and very easy to enjoy. My husband and I found this to be one of the most rewarding and enjoyable experiences we have ever had as a family. We learned so much and had so many laughs in the process. While in our home, on the fields, and everywhere in between, these were examples of young people that you can certainly be proud of! Thanks so much for this opportunity!!!!"

"Just wanted to let you know how wonderful it has been hosting Coach Cory. We didn't host last year because we didn't know what to expect. Jamie was our daughters coach last year and we all fell in love with him. We knew other host families and were told how awesome hosting was. They were right. Cory has become a part of the family now and there will be many tears shed tomorrow."
