3 weeks Program in Spain

EduKick is proud to provide participating players with "the Spanish language & culture football experience of a lifetime!" EduKick believe that living, studying and training in a foreign country is an invaluable experience that a player will never forget and the benefits of such an experience will be embedded positively into that individual for the rest of his or her life. 


Edukick Madrid is a team oriented educational institution and that is why participants from day one are allowed to be integrated into the "Edukick Madrid team spirit" for achieving their own personal expectations in soccer or education. 

Living, playing soccer and studying in Spain as a teenager represents an enormous challenge for both the participant and the educators. EduKick Madrid staff provides professional guidance, supervision, mentorship and expertise in order to maximise each participants camp experience. 

Participants are supervised 24/7 for the duration of the camp by our professional adult bilingual monitors. Participants are not allowed to stray away from the supervised group for any reason at any time. At EduKick Madrid, we do everything together chaperoned as a proper football "team!"
