The city of Palencia:
Palencia is in the region of Castilla y León, north of Spain. It has a population of approximately 80,000 and a long history. It was founded by the Romans in the 2nd century BC and has played a role in many historical events over the centuries. It has also been an important centre for art and culture, with famous artists and writers working and living there.
One of the city’s most emblematic monuments is its magnificent Gothic cathedral, which was built in the 14th century. It is considered one of the best examples of Spanish Gothic architecture and is famous for its beautiful stained-glass windows and sculptures.
There are also many other interesting monuments and historical sites, including the Roman bridge over the Carrión river, the church of San Miguel and the bishop’s palace. Palencia is also a lively city, with many bars, restaurants and shops. It is known for its gastronomy, especially for its local products, such as cheese from Castilla y León and wine from the Ribera del Duero region.
It is also located in a beautiful rural area, with spectacular natural landscapes and national parks nearby, such as the Picos de Europa National Park and the Fuentes Carrionas Natural Park. This makes the city an ideal destination for lovers of history, culture, gastronomy and nature.

Training
The Atletico de Madrid camps will help your child to achieve high levels of performance. The methodology is based on that of Atletico de Madrid, which is a renowned institution for the development and training of young soccer players. The methodology is based as much on soccer as on the human values of team spirit, motivation and determination.
The programme includes 3 hours of intensive training during which the value of working hard to achieve goals is promoted.
The training sessions alternate between group work and specific work to ensure that each player progresses on their weak and strong points. Tactical practice will be conducted in group sessions and technical work in more individual sessions (smaller groups). The methodology is then based on games and matches to implement everything that has been seen during the day’s exercises. The matches are essential for progress as they allow for real game conditions.
There is also a specific Goalkeeper programme that is offered during the Atletico de Madrid soccer camps. Sessions with goalkeeper coaches are organised during the week for this unique position.
Human values are very important in the Atletico de Madrid camps as it is what the club conveys through the professional team. Solidarity, team spirit, challenging oneself, communication and equality are key aspects of this soccer camp.
Coaches and coaching method
Atletico de Madrid’s Management and Technical teams set up the methodology and supervise the coaches’ training in Palencia. The coaches in Palencia are already experienced and professional coaches working year-round in the Palencia Academy or in professional clubs. They are used to working with young players and especially used to helping children progress. They all graduated as coaches!
The campus is run by the technical director of the Palencia soccer Academy, Jorge Gonzalo, who oversees all the organisational and logistical aspects, as well as coordinating all the non-sporting activities of the camp to make sure that the overall experience is truly exceptional.
Staff and activities
Besides soccer training, the coaches will organise non-sport related activities or games at the Isla Dos Aguas campus or at the residence.
They will remain with the children throughout their stay and will ensure their well-being.
Trips and days out
The Atletico Madrid soccer camp will provide a memorable moment for your child with an excursion to Madrid, during which your child will have the chance to visit the mythical Atletico Madrid stadium : the Civitas Metropolitano. It’s one of the most modern stadiums in Europe.
A private visit awaits your children. They’ll have access to the changing rooms, the press room, the stands and even the edge of the pitch. The tour includes a visit to “Legendary jerseys and titles”: an exhibition that will delight your children, who will be able to see the club’s most emblematic shirts. They will also visit the museum and the official shop to take home a souvenir of this unique moment.
