Methodology :
After an evaluation of the levels in order to make groups, the coaches start the day with a theoretical class. The theoretical classes cover topics linked to high level sport.
Two trainings are scheduled every day, at 10:30 am and 5:15 pm, always followed by a snack to regain strength, and a shower.
The methodology of this football camp is unique and has been worked on for many years to guarantee excellence, at the level of Real Madrid.
During this camp, the expected level is improvement, the players can be both beginners or players for several years. The requirement is not high level although there is a camp for this, which you can find here: Real Madrid High-performance camp.
Theoretical classes and training :
Every day theoretical classes will be given to the children to work on tactical aspects but also to educate the children about the good habits of an athlete’s life: how to stretch properly? What to eat? etc. To be a high level athlete, all aspects of performance must be addressed.
At 10.30 the children will have their first training session of the day in order to apply what they have learned in theory the hour before. This training session will last 2 hours.
After lunch, the children can go to the pool to have fun in the water and there will be entertaining and relaxing activities.
At 17:15 the second training of the day will take place, which is usually in the form of matches to put into practice what was learned in the morning in theory and during the first training.
After one hour of training the children will go for a shower and a snack before the staff organise another fun activity.
At around 8pm the children will have free time to call their parents before going to dinner.
Goalkeeper option :
Goalkeepers are not forgotten at the Real Madrid Foundation Campus Experience. It is of course cultural since it is here that one of the world’s greatest goalkeepers was trained: Iker Casillas.
The goalkeeper option is free of charge and allows boys and girls who wish to have specific training for this very special position with dedicated coaches.
This specific goalkeeper option is valid from 02 to 29 July 2023. Outside of these dates, the children will obviously play in their goalkeeper position but will not have any specific goalkeeper training.
You can select the option at the time of booking or indicate it in the registration form.

Staff and activities
Several times a day, “Campus Experience” activities are on the program. These take the form of fun and interactive games between boys and girls that allow them to create bonds and friendships while learning important life values: respect, discipline and teamwork for example.
