With just seven weeks remaining until the 2015 Coerver® Coaching UK PRO Tour to Real Madrid CF, final preparations have been made in advance of the departure of 160 players, parents and staff who will be heading out to the Spanish capital for 4-days during the Easter break.
Following on from PRO Tours to Ajax and AC Milan during the last two years, this latest Tour is shaping up to be the best to date and is sure to be an unforgettable experience for all in attendance.
During the tour players, who will be kitted out in full Real Madrid training kit, will be participating in four training sessions with Real Madrid CF coaching staff at the world class training facilities at Ciudad Real Madrid in Valdebebas, home to all Real Madrid CF teams (see below image).
In addition to a guided tour of the facilities at Valdebebas, attendees will also have the opportunity to observe Real Madrid academy games that will be taking place while on site and staff will have the opportunity to speak with coaching staff at the club.
A tour of the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium has also been organised as well as match tickets for the La Liga game between Real Madrid & Granada. In addition to the football side of the tour, there will also be free time for sightseeing in of the most iconic cities in the World.
Coerver® Coaching UK Director Scott Wright said “With only 7 weeks to go until we depart for Madrid, excitement is building and we are really looking forward to what I’m sure will prove to be an unbelievable four days for everyone who will be heading over from our programme in the UK”.
“Our PRO tours are one of the many benefits to being a member of our Performance Academy programme and following our previous European tours to Ajax and AC Milan, interest in the tour to Real Madrid was extremely high as you would expect”.
“This really will be a once in a lifetime experience for our players and I’m sure not many grassroots players and in fact professional players get the opportunity to train at the World’s biggest football club so they should be very excited for what is to come this Easter”.
“In addition to the training element, our group will be able to observe Real Madrid academy players in action that are the same age as themselves which I believe will be a great learning opportunity for them as they will see some of the best player in the world in their age group’s playing”.
“Our staff will also have the opportunity to speak with coaching staff at the club which again will prove to be a valuable educational experience on that side also”.
“Then having the chance to not only take a stadium tour at the Bernabéu but to go to a La Liga match with 80,000 people in the stadium and being able to see the likes of Ronaldo, Bale and the other Galacticos in action live really is a special opportunity for them that not many get to experience”.
Scott added “The benefits on the football side of the tour are clear to see but you also have the social and cultural side which for me is just an important for each players personal development”
“I have been lucky enough to visit the club and work in Madrid a number of times over the last five years and it is definitely one of the world’s great cities for culture, food, shopping and certainly football, so I believe this will be a great event for everyone that is fortunate enough to be taking part”.
