My 14 yr old son and his teammates had a terrific time both on and off the pitch. Xplore took care of everything and we got to focus on having a good time and soaking in all the culture.
Being able to experience this trip with my entire family along with some of my best friends in the world ( yes soccer makes that happen) made me feel incredibly blessed. My son was able to experience another culture not only with his family but also his soccer teammates and best friends – he has already said he will never forget this trip – neither will I! Thank you!
A great cultural experience for the boys and parents alike. Coach Tati put together a terrific trip, from Soccer to sightseeing opportunities. I’d say it was a trip of a lifetime only I’d do it again!
We enjoyed the soccer, the culture, the food, the families and we had so much fun! Traveling with Coach Tati was a great experience and memories that we will treasure forever.
One of my greatest memories…
We took the whole family! It was a perfect combination of soccer and exploring the country.
Our daughter loved traveling with her teammates. They bonded and enjoyed spending time both on and off the field with each other. Having the opportunity to play against teams from an another country was priceless. On the last day, the teams had lunch together and did their best to communicate through language challenges. As for the parents – what a great time. We did sightseeing as well having a chance to visit with the other parents and truly have a great time together. More than a year later we still take about the trip and the fun adventures that we had together. I would recommend everyone going if they have a chance.
Being able to play with and against Spanish clubs was truly extraordinary and allowed me to gain so much culturally. I still keep in contact with some of the Spanish girls we played against and cherish the friendships I made with them and also strengthened the friendships with those that I traveled to Spain with.
Culture, soccer friends and memories you’ll never forget! An incredible, jam packed adventure!
I experienced the intersection of soccer and Spanish culture all while building timeless memories with my teammates. By playing games, practicing, and communicating with local teams, I learned that a mutual love of the game can transcend any language barrier. I am grateful that I had the opportunity to travel, make new friends, and experience a new culture. The Spain trip has inspired my future travel plans and deepened my love for the game.
Michelle and Lily had an awesome time!
Perfectly planned. A memorable experience we will cherish forever.
We only knew a few people going on the trip but came away with lifelong friends. The trip was very well-organized and provided a good balance of soccer, planned activity, and unscheduled time for exploration or rest. The soccer training opportunities gave our player a huge boost in knowledge, experience, and exposure to the game. Our group had a combination of travelers who had never been out of the US with those who travel often, and this trip offered something for everyone on that spectrum. The locations were all very safe, and the accommodations were all convenient and nice. Most importantly, the trip offered an opportunity to see the world from a different view, and to expose our family to different perspectives, culture, and history. We would recommend this trip to anyone looking to expand their horizons, either a little or a lot.
Thanks for a wonderful time! The Spain Trip was organized beautifully. The Spanish trainers were excellent, skilled, gave the kids a different perspective of the game and worked them hard. Hotel location was central. Real Madrid game – what a thrill- to watch Real Madrid IN MADRID!! Thoroughly enjoyed- thank you, thank you 🙂
Paige enjoyed the soccer practice and games. We love the food. Hotels & tours were very nice, comfortable, convenient for exploring the town on our own. Wish more soccer. We loved all the busses! So comfortable. May do it again. Thanks Tati and Lia- We had a wonderful time!
We thoroughly enjoyed the trip from beginning to end. It was very organized and had a great balance of soccer, planned sightseeing and free time to explore or relax. The locations all felt safe, and the accommodations were very nice. This trip is great for those new to traveling abroad and those who are experienced and want a new, fun adventure. Thank you so much for all of your hard work to organize and execute a wonderful trip!
We saw and experienced three different cities, each of them beautiful and unique. The kids bonded, the parents did too. We saw some beautiful sights: Alahambra, Real Madrid Stadium tour, then an actual game, The Royal Palace, The Caves of Nerja, etc. etc. A piece of my heart remains in Spain. Go! You will be so glad you did.
Coach Tati proved to be an exceptional leader both on & off the field. And Lia didn’t miss a detail in planning our 1st class Spain Experience. Thank you Fútskills Academy for the memories- truly a dream come true for our American soccer girl.
While centered around soccer there was also an emphasis on culture, history and the arts. Everything was well planned out and the accommodations and transfers went smoothly. The tours were very informative but we were also given plenty of free time to allow shopping, exploring or relaxing with a sangria in hand !!
I cherished every moment of being there. Every sight that I saw was so pretty and it is definitely different than the US which makes it so much more cool and exciting. I totally 100 % recommend going.
breathtaking, fabulous. More than I could have imagined.
in the summer of 2022 was unbelievable!! Xplore Spain group Tati and Lia have done an amazing job with organizing and planning trip itineraries. Every activities and tours we had during the trip went so smoothly. I highly recommend to everyone to travel with (Xplore Group travel).
with mix of cultural and soccer experience. It was a well planned trip that worth every penny.
