Charlton Athletic Community Trust (CACT) are delighted to offer football courses for young people across south-east London and Kent during the upcoming February half-term break.
Taking place for the first time in 2026, CACT’s holiday courses will once again provide young people aged 4 to 15 with the opportunity to develop their skills. The courses will run from Monday, February 16th to Friday, February 20th, across three locations:
All sessions are delivered by FA-qualified CACT coaches. In addition, Charlton’s men’s and women’s first-team players regularly visit the holiday courses in New Eltham, giving aspiring players the chance to meet and learn from the professionals.
In New Eltham, alongside courses for 4-10 year-olds and 11-15 year-olds, CACT will also be running girls-only courses and a goalkeeper-specific course during the half-term break. As part of the girls-only provision, a two-day development course for girls aged 12 to 15 will be delivered. This course will run on Thursday and Friday of the February break and will focus on 11-a-side technical and tactical coaching for older players looking to develop their game further. Courses for girls aged 7 to 11 will run throughout the week and will follow the same structure as CACT’s usual girls-only holiday courses.
CACT’s Advanced Holiday Courses, tailored to ambitious young footballers competing at Advanced Development Centre, JPL, Kent Youth League or equivalent levels, will also take place in New Eltham and will provide players with elite-level coaching delivered by UEFA A and B licensed coaches. Sessions focus on technical skills, tactical understanding, physical conditioning and in-game decision-making. Each session will run for five hours, including a short lunch break, and will give players the opportunity to train alongside other high-achieving footballers, helping to push their game to the next level.
