EduKick Academic Year Soccer Boarding School, UK:
EduKick is based on the philosophy that exposure to foreign language, culture and international soccer training abroad would accelerate personal growth in young people. They wanted EduKick to be different…a complete package that would have a lasting and positive influence on the young person. As professionals, soccer fanatics and fathers, they wanted to create a program that maximized the EduKick youth's time abroad; instilling a sense of independence and pride in themselves for having experienced international travel, structured academic or language study, cultural excursions, and daily professional soccer training.

Our professional and experienced inlingua teachers using the effective inlingua method and materials will ensure that learning Engli
sh is fun and motivating. While formal elements of the language are introduced, they are also reinforced with spoken fluency and listening comprehension work, as well as by using project work involving interactive tasks using all resources in and outside the classroom. Particular emphasis is placed on improving the students’ confidence and communicative abilities when speaking and listening.
Soccer Training (Afternoon)
Students have 2 hours soccer training per day for 4 days per week with a competitive football tournament on the 5th day (5 or 11 a side). The soccer course is designed for competent soccer players with a good level of fitness. The syllabus will be comprehensive, developing and building upon existing soccer skills. The BWFC coaches are committed to the development of each individual player's skills so that they achieve the best possible level of personal ability during the time permitted by the course.
Soccer Skills Covered:
Speed, agility & quickness
Pass & move drills
Dribbling, turning and ball skills
Running with the ball
Shooting / Heading / Control
Goalkeeping (optional)

All participants will be expected to take an active role in these elements, so it is important that students have a good level of fitness before they attend the soccer camp.
Evaluations can be made in terms of the player's technical ability and we will also use the very latest high tech equipment currently being used by many Premier league teams to provide a measure of a player's physical ability.
