For the best time with a football outside of Goodison Park, The Everton Foundation run the renowned Everton Soccer Schools across Merseyside.
The courses have taken place for many years at venues in and around the city as well as further afield to offer quality football coaching to all children, whatever their allegiance.

We aim to make Everton's Soccer Schools accessible to as many children as possible, and at the same time ensuring that they have fun in a safe learning environment.
The venues are spread geographically to allow everybody the opportunity of getting along to a relatively local venue for three days of top football fun.
The camps are the best way of learning the skills of Premier League stars like our very own Leon Osman, Joseph Yobo and Mikel Arteta.
The Everton Foundation coaches are some of the most qualified and experienced youth coaches in the country, guaranteed to improve even the most challenging pupils!
A small number of children are identified each year, who are either significantly improved over the three days of the camp, or arrive on the first day with that extra talent already in place. The Foundation coaches then recommend these gifted youngsters to Everton's Youth Academy for trials and potentially a place in one of our Academy teams.
Each camp runs from 10.00 am until 3.00 pm. The camps are open to boys and girls aged 5 -14 years and cater for every ability level, from beginner to superstar!
The children are grouped into age and ability bands on the first day to make sure everybody enjoys their time with Everton.
A typical day at a camp includes a proper 'footballer's style' warm-up, skill sessions, penalty competitions, small-sided games, and water breaks of course! The last hour of each day consists of a tournament for the youngsters to show off their newly learned skills.
Every day is carefully structured to give the children the opportunity to learn new techniques, to enjoy their football and meet new friends.
