Football Training Camps in France for Boys & Girls

EduKick France, Cannes:
EduKick France is proud to partner with the renowned former French National Team Coach, Michel Hidalgo, to offer the "Edukick France - HIFA" academic year programs for qualified student-footballers from around the world. Situated in the famous city of Cannes on the French Riviera in the south of France, we offer youth soccer players (boys & girls) the opportunity to combine high-quality football coaching from professional and accredited technical football staff coaches with academic studies in a French school.

EduKick and Mr. Michel Hidalgo offer youth soccer players this exceptional language & culture soccer camp in southern France unlike any other.

This football development/French language immersion program is a complete language, culture and soccer experience that is designed to maximize the young person's overall experience abroad in the picturesque French Riviera!

As per French law, additional experienced and licensed soccer coaches train our youth in groups of 10 or more players. These smaller groups provide for very excellent individual soccer training for our EduKick campers!

These smaller groups also aid the participants in regard to their French language immersion by more frequent and meaningful verbal interaction with the staff coaches.
- Senior Players ages 16+ (High School)
Academic year or half-year program for qualified international male candidates ages 16 years+ that combines quality football coaching with French language classes. We also offer a separate program for girls ages 16+. Full boarding facilities are available for our senior students.

- Junior Players ages 13-15 (Middle / High School)
Academic year or half-year program for boys & girls ages 13-15 that combines quality football coaching with education in a French public school.

- To train boys & girls in a professional youth football-soccer environment over an extended period of time.

- To optimise the essential aptitudes for high level practice in all aspects: athletic (from teenage capacities to junior abilities), high level (from fundamentals to specialization), tactical control of play (from individual skills to team game), competing (from mental resources to the culture of competition), etc.

- To prepare the boys and girls for the Elite Football requirements (interested players must already have acquired a good standard or level of play).

Our football programs aims to allow all players to acquire a technical, tactical, physical and mental ability to compete at national and international level.
