behind closed doors
This is an official term that came up for me recently, although a more generic formulation like Diarmuid's might fit your context better.

Example sentence:

Note from asker:
| I should have added context. This document described what will happen at a children's football camp. Probably not much betting going on. |

I think any of the variants with the word "spectator" in them would work.
