The fun-filled camps, which have now been running for almost 25 years, provide the opportunity to introduce children to football and help them to develop their skills in a fun environment.
Each participant will receive a Sports Direct FAI Summer Soccer School kit, football, backpack and certificate, plus a 20% discount in Sports Direct stores when you book your place online.
The camps, which are priced at €70, with discounts available for siblings and multiple camp bookings, are aimed at boys and girls between the ages of 6 to 14. The week-long camps come with a high standard of coaching from Garda-vetted FAI qualified coaches and it all starts on July 1st.
Leonard Brassel, Managing Director of Sports Direct Ireland said: “We are proud to partner again with the FAI Summer Soccer Schools for the fifth year in a row. It has been an amazing journey to see the growth of the Soccer Schools throughout the country and be part of the commitment to grassroots football. For us as a business our football category continues to grow in Ireland offering parents big brands, quality and value across clothing, footwear and accessories”.
Republic of Ireland manager Mick McCarthy hopes to see the children enjoy the camps throughout the summer.
"They will get structured coaching and will be well-looked after and safe. It's the first start in a pathway, and some of the children playing in the Sports Direct FAI Summer Soccer Schools this summer could end up playing for Ireland in years to come".
Republic of Ireland Women's National Team manager Colin Bell says the camps are a great chance for boy and girls to get involved in the game.
"It's a chance for these children to be involved in a sport they love. Hopefully the the Sports Direct FAI Summer Soccer Schools can increase their passion for the game".
