If your kids have ambitions to be the next Ronaldo or to bend it like Beckham, they can now hone their football skills at a soccer camp set up in partnership with the biggest football club in the world, Real Madrid.

Set within the luxurious surroundings of the five star Casa De Campo Resort and Villas in the Dominican Republic, the camps take place this June and are aimed at wannabe football stars from 7 to 17 years old.

Despite falling within the school term time for most UK children, the sessions are perfectly timed to treat a footie mad teenager to a post-GCSE break where they can swap their books for a ball and focus on a developing a completely different set of skills.

The fun and educational coaching sessions take place on a FIFA sized football field with high quality turf and are overseen by coaches from the Real Foundation.
Sessions are available every morning from 17-21 June and from 24-28 June 2019, with the option to join for one or both weeks.

The soccer school costs US $255 per child for five morning coaching sessions including a Real Madrid Football Kit (shorts, shirt and socks), a backpack and water bottle.

Off the pitch, there is plenty to keep even the most active of teens amused from paddle boarding to kayaking, tennis, golf and even polo lessons. Meanwhile, if mum and dad prefer a more relaxing pace, they can lounge on the white sands of the resort's private beach.

Nine nights on all-inclusive basis at Casa De Campo, including return British Airways flights from London Gatwick on 23 June currently costs from £1,837 per person, based on two sharing or from £1,640 per person based on 4 sharing. To book, visit www.loveholidays.com or call tel: 0203 870 6844. Room only options cost from £1,197 per person.

The coaching sessions are bookable direct with the hotel by emailing supervisorasvoc@ccampo.com.do or call +1-809-523-8107 / 2080.
