FAMILY HOLIDAYS AND SPORT: DISCOVER OUR FOOTBALL CAMPS

When it comes to planning a family holiday, finding the perfect destination can prove quite a challenge. You’ll want a place that guarantees maximum fun for adults and kids alike, with activities that will keep everyone happy and entertained. So how about an option that gives your children the chance to enjoy their holiday to the full, whilst developing their sports skills and creating core memories?

At THB hotels we’ve got the perfect solution: an experience that combines holidays and sport, thanks to The Game Elite Academy’s football camps. These camps are held at several of our hotels and offer participants the opportunity to have fun, learn and socialise whilst you enjoy your well-deserved break.

What is The Game Elite Academy?

The Game Elite Academy is a highly acclaimed football academy that has designed camps aimed at improving the football skills of children between 5 and 15 years old. The camps are open to different skill levels, so it doesn’t matter if they can already play football or are just beginning to show an interest in the sport: all ages and skill levels are welcome.

The coaches at The Game Elite Academy focus on enhancing technical skills, but also place great emphasis on teaching values. During the camp, in addition to improving their game, the children will also learn about teamwork, discipline, respect, and effort – all essential skills for their personal growth.

 

 

The benefits of football camps for children

When you sign up your children for one of these camps, you’re not just choosing an alternative kind of holiday, but also giving them a unique opportunity for learning whilst having loads of fun. Below are just a few of the main benefits:

• Sports development: Participants will improve their football skills under the guidance and motivation of qualified coaches. Regular practice will enable them to progress in areas like ball control, passing techniques, shooting, and game strategy.
• Values and discipline: In a sport like football, discipline is essential. The coaches ensure that young players understand the importance of respecting the rules, their fellow teammates, and the coaches themselves. This, in turn, reinforces other values such as responsibility and decision-making.
• Teamwork and socialisation: By participating in group activities, children learn to work together towards a common goal. Making new friends and working as a team benefits them both on the field and in other aspects of their lives.
• Guaranteed fun: Football is all about fun, and these camps have been designed to offer children a really great time, playing and exercising outdoors. It’s the perfect way to combine sports and holidays!
