The AC Milan football camp in Rosas

The club with the second most Champions League wins, AC Milan has been dominating Italian football for many, many decades. Having only ever not been in the top league in Italy for two seasons in their entire history, AC Milan is a club with a deep understanding of what is needed to become a great football player.

Indeed, two of the very best defenders in history were formed at AC Milan: Paolo Maldini and Franco Baresi. In one season, they conceded only 12 goals in 30 games, an average of only 0.4 goals a game. AC Milan also knows how to score goals, and currently the seemingly ageless Zlatan Ibrahimovic is carrying them to the top of the Serie A.

As well as this, the camp is located a short walk from the sea, and plenty of exciting activities will be organised as well as football. The kids won’t have time to be bored as they will be too busy enjoying themselves. Considering it is difficult for such a big club to be on the up, but it is at the moment, what better time could there possibly be to send your child to an AC Milan football camp.

The Manchester City football camp

Thanks to Pep Guardiola’s management and the quality of players like Raheem Sterling and Kevin de Bruyne, Manchester City play attractive and lethal football.

Each year, they are one of the favourties to win the Premier League, and considering how competitive and intense the Premier League is, it is testament to how good Man City are. The camp isn’t just about the football though, with a visit to the Etihad, trips to the beach or the pool, and language classes available for those who want it. The question is not why should you send your child here, it is why wouldn’t you?
