Child Protection Statement Birchwood Soccer Schools is wholly committed to child protection. Placing a child’s welfare at the center of our concerns provides a solid foundation for the development of young players. Child protection is about making sure that our players can learn, play and travel in a safe environment at all times. This is achieved best through the practice of what we do:
Chaperone The safety and well being of your child is something that we pride ourselves on, we assure all parents that our chaperones will treat every player as if they were their own son/daughter. With a ratio of 1 Chaperone to 5 campers we make sure every child gets the individual attention they need. Our chaperones are with you from the moment you touch down in England until you depart home. You will have a constant presence from our fully qualified staff. All parents will have a direct telephone line to speak directly to your son/daughter 24 hours a day. This peace of mind is something that we deliver without hesitation. All chaperones can provide a full police check from Her Majesties Police Force, Cheshire, England and have first aid qualifications. Many of our Chaperones are soccer moms themselves. Sports Science "It's a 90 minute game for sure. In fact I used to train for a 190 minute game so that when the whistle blew at the end of the match I could have played another 90 minutes."

References I know all the girls that participated in the High School scrimmages enjoyed themselves. It was a fantastic opportunity that they simply wouldn't have had if it wasn't for your program. We look forwards to greeting American girls next year. Jason was trying out for the High school team and we wanted to do everything possible for him to reach his goal. The guidance provided by Ryan and team was unrivalled by any soccer provided that my son had ever worked with, they created a program that would develop my son’s skills to suit exactly what the High school coach was looking for. They provided a safe learning environment for Jason to shine in, every aspect of the course was designed for Jason to learn off the best and have fun whilst doing so. Needless to say he made the team, he came back a different player and my son said it was the coaches and players he had worked with that moved his game to the next level. Nobody in Arizona can give my daughter the opportunity that Birchwood Soccer Schools did. The training and more importantly the coverage Jane received when she was there is to me priceless. We would recommend working with Ryan to anybody serious about soccer.  For more information please contact us: 908-552-4777 Email:  |
