Best Family Holidays with Football Classes

Why Football-Focused Holidays Are Great for Families

In our footie-mad world, holidays that offer football coaching are ever-more popular, catering to girls and boys who'd like to improve their skills whilst away or those who simply can’t bear to miss out on their football fix while they’re away from home.

What to Expect from a Holiday Resort with Football Clubs and Academies for Kids 

An increasing number of hotels offer football academies or football camps for children and the offerings vary wildly. Some are run by prestigious football teams and might even feature visits by famous players or coaches, others are run by the hotels or tour operators themselves, usually with fully qualified coaches. The majority are run in English and others in more than one language at a time – with the latter, your kids will get to absorb another language and get the chance to make friends with football-mad children from other countries too.

Booking a Family Holiday with Football Classes 

In upmarket resorts such as Ikos (we've picked out a selection below, but see other Ikos resorts), football academies often book up well in advance due to their popularity so must be booked in advance and will usually carry an extra charge, which often includes appealing extras such as a football strip. In budget-friendly Holiday Villages, there are UEFA-led coaching sessions at a small charge in addition to your all-inclusive holiday package. Again, they might still need booking well in advance (ideally when you book your holiday),  to ensure your child has secured their place. 

We can book and advise you on a long list of hotels/resorts with football academies, giving you insider details about specific resorts that you're interested in, including age ranges, dates and prices. Alternatively, we can start from scratch and source the right resort with kids' football coaching for your child's particular needs.
