The English summer offers unique opportunities for young Brazilians between 13 and 17 years old to combine improvement in English with professional golf training. Summer camps in the United Kingdom provide high-level infrastructure, specialized technicians and complete cultural immersion during school holidays.

Sussex, a historic region in the south of England, is home to some of the best sports programs for teenagers in the world. Young golfers find professional golf courses, modern driving ranges and putting greens that rival elite Brazilian clubs.

Why choose England for golf and English?

The United Kingdom is the birthplace of modern golf and offers a centuries-old sporting tradition. Study English in England provides direct contact with the native language, while English fields present unique technical challenges.

Advantages of English programs:

  • International championship-standard golf courses
  • Technicians certified by the Professional Golfers' Association (PGA)
  • Professional clubhouse with state of the art simulators
  • Partnership with sports brands such as Nike Golf
  • Temperate climate ideal for summer practice

Young people develop not only technical skills but also mental and strategic discipline essential for competitive golf.

Structure of summer sports camps

The programs combine 15 hours a week of English classes with 15 hours of intensive golf training. The mornings are dedicated to language development through interactive methods, while the afternoons focus on technical and sports improvement.

Typical daily schedule:

  • 7:30am: Breakfast on campus

Differentiated teaching methodology

The program offers two English learning trails adapted to the level of each participant:

Foundation Level (A1-C1): Focus on conversational fluency and trust for basic sports communication.

Step-Up Level (B2-C2): Development of technical English for seminars, presentations, and advanced discussions about sports strategies.

Both tracks use authentic materials without artificial simplification, preparing young people for real international competition situations.

The trainings follow professional methodology with detailed technical analysis. Young golfers work on all the fundamental aspects:

  • Driving: Power and precision on long tees
  • Iron: Distance and trajectory control
  • Chipping: Move closer to the green
  • Putting: Reading the green and finishing
  • Bunker play: Sand exits with different angles

Exclusive sports partnerships
