Our Philosophy:
We believe that exposure to a foreign language, culture and international soccer training abroad will accelerate personal growth in young people. As professionals, soccer fanatics and fathers, EduKick 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.

When you register for a course, EduKick will guide you through the process for securing a student visa from your host country. This process can take a few months to complete, and requires a valid passport. EduKick guides all participating student and their families through the process of enrolling with the affiliated High School or University. If a player has a European Union passport the process for registering is even simpler!

“I really like studying here at the EduKick England. I especially enjoy the daily soccer training and I have already achieved my FA level 1 coaching badge! I love my tutors; they are great to me and really helpful. Everyone has made it easy for me to settle in and I have made loads of friends. I also really like the family I am staying with and get on well with them. I am hoping to stay in England to go to University and study a sports related subject, I am not sure what yet but the course has opened my eyes to all the different possibilities for me. It is a lot different from home but I have had a good experience living in England, the people are really nice and friendly. I would definitely recommend this EduKick England course to other people who are interested in football.”
