- Marcet Academy, Barcelona: ages 6 to 21, coaching in English and Spanish, 26-31 October, from €690

Why choose an October half-term football camp?
- The start of the competitions: a few weeks into the season, half term is the perfect moment to work on the areas to improve before the league gets going.
- Keeping the rhythm: a week of football keeps your child active and motivated during the break.
- Pleasant weather: in Barcelona, Montpellier or Florida, players still train outdoors in excellent conditions in October.
- An experience abroad: discovering another football culture, practising a language and gaining independence.
