The heart of the camp are the training sessions on the pitch in small groups of other like minded players, guided by our expert coaches.

Welcome Bag
At the start of the camp you will also receive a welcome bag which will also contain a water bottle, a notebook and a pen.
Airport Pick-Up & Drop-Off
All Train Effective Camps officially start and end at the team hotel and players are expected to make their own way to and from the camp.
But in order to ease this process for our international players who are arriving via plane, we also offer Airport Pick-Up and Drop-Off.
This service is not included in the price of the camp but has to be booked and payed for extra in advance to the camp.
Airport Pick-Up: 9am, 12pm, 3pm
Airport Drop-Off: 8am, 11am, 2pm
Airport: London Heathrow
Price (for both) = £50
A member of the Train Effective team will be present at the airport during these times to assist you in your arrival / departure.
In the weeks leading up to the camp we will then also communicate with you a meeting point where to meet our member of staff.
VERY IMPORTANT:
- This service needs to be booked at least 6 weeks prior to the camp
- Train Effective can only cater to players arriving / leaving during the hours named above. If players arrive outside of these hours they will either make their own way to the camp or if they choose so, upgrade to a PRIVATE Airport Pick up / Drop Off.
If a player arrives/departs outside the hours described above or at/from a different airport than the one that's stated on the individual camp website and still needs assistance from Train Effective, he can REQUEST a Private Airport Pick-Up / Drop-Off.
Prices (per trip, Pick-Up & Drop-Off are paid separately):
London Heathrow = £250
Luton Airport = £200
London Stansted Airport = £300
Train Effective will then review the request and, if approved, create a plan specific to the individual situation of the player.
VERY IMPORTANT:
Both type of services needs to be booked at least 6 weeks prior to the camp!
Camp Schedule
Each camp follows a clear schedule that is filled with training on and off the pitch, recovery sessions, masterclasses and time for you to spend with your teammates.
Stark Rodriguez, 11 🇺🇸
If you want to take your game to the next level, I highly recommend Train Effective. Stark is a New York Red Bulls Academy Player and is on a pathway to the pros. Train Effective 100% worked with him with understanding injury prevention, hands on with the physiologists, masterclasses, and gym sessions. Stark found friends/teammates like him from around the world who share the same passion. The trainers are second to none and work with the boys to unlock each one's full potential. Each day's schedule whether it be double sessions with recovery is all guided by professional trainers. Most importantly over the three weeks, the boys form a bond and become one team called "Train Effective". Stark has been to West Ham United Academy last year and will choose to come back to Train Effective. Simply because it attracts top talent players and trainers. - Stark, USA
