Overview

Please read the requirements before registration


Football Friendlies welcomes you to its Mid-Term Break Football Camp in Ballingarry, Co. Limerick. Our camp is built on a simple philosophy: “The best way to learn about football is by playing football.” Every session is designed around real game situations, allowing players to learn naturally through play, make decisions, and develop their understanding of football in a fun and engaging environment.


At Football Friendlies, we focus on delivering a high-quality football experience where players are constantly active, involved, and learning. Our approach ensures more touches on the ball, more confidence, and more enjoyment for every child.


The well-being of every player is very important to us. Parents and guardians are encouraged to let us know if their child has other commitments, such as training or matches, or if they require additional breaks during the camp. We are always happy to accommodate these needs where possible once they are communicated to us.


Camp Overview


The Mid-Term Break Football Camp will be delivered at Ballingarry AFC, combining fun games and activities with the core principles of football development. The camp is open to boys and girls aged 5–15 years, of all abilities. This is an ideal way to keep your children active during the mid-term break while improving their footballing ability in a structured, safe, and enjoyable environment.
