Footballescapes

Bobby Zamora joined us at IKOS Porto Petro last week, and the sessions did exactly what we hope they do: send families home with something they can actually use.

One family, back with us for their second camp with Bobby, summed it up perfectly:

“This is our second camp with Bobby and he gave our son some great tips again. Simple things to follow up on at home. His point about nutrition being a game changer in the Q&A is helping us have better conversations about what he eats already.” ❤️

Thanks to Bobby, to the team at IKOS Porto Petro, and to every family who joined us out in Mallorca. See you on the next one!

Our first all female led football holiday, and it was incredible.

Millie Bright on debut with Chloe, Maia, our female coaching team who were brilliant from the first session to the last.

As one of our families put it…“So personable, so fun for the kids, good mix of technical vs fun coaching. Can’t speak highly enough of them.”

Thank you to every family who joined us. Plenty more to come with Millie and our female coaches soon.

He’s back. And he’s still one of the best.

Gary Cahill joined our families at IKOS Olivia last week for another unforgettable Football Escapes. Sessions on the pitch, stories over dinner and a whole lot of memories made.

A true family favourite. Until next time, Gary.

A full week on the pitch with Owen Hargreaves, and then a surprise appearance from Rio Ferdinand that stopped every child in their tracks.

Football, sunshine, and memories the whole family gets to keep.

Thank you to everyone who joined us. 🇵🇹⚽️

What a year it’s been so far.

A big thank you to our Official Partner, Ardour Events, who have given one lucky family from every single Football Escapes holiday tickets to an England friendly or a Premier League match. They have also helped many of our customers with tickets and access to events throughout the year.

Swipe through to see some of our winners. Thank you to Ardour for giving our families experiences that go beyond the holidays themselves, and for making memories that carry on long after they get home.

Here’s to the rest of the year, and to the families still to come.

Last week we took our families to IKOS Olivia, with Joel Ward making his Football Escapes debut. Incredible sessions, top families, and a group who won’t forget it.

Summed up perfectly by this family’s feedback:

“WOW! It was amazing. Joel Ward was absolutely incredible. He fully engaged with all the boys he trained, he knew everyone by name on the first day. Joel’s coaching technique was fully immersive, taking part with the boys in every session. The boys all loved him! He went the extra mile by doing other activities with the group, meeting them on the beach in the afternoon and taking them on pedaloes, having breakfast with them as a group, and just making the whole experience a memory they’ll never forget.”

Thank you, Joel, and thank you to all of our families.

What a fantastic week at IKOS Odisia, joined by Aaron Lennon. Thank you to all of our families who came along, you made it.

Here’s what one family had to say:

“Clive, Jacob, Jack and of course Aaron were absolutely superb throughout, and we were blown away by both the quality of the coaching and the commitment of the coaches to ensuring everyone had a great time outside of the sessions too. We will definitely be returning for a future Football Escapes holiday.”

Thank you, and see you at the next one.

A week of football with our families in Portugal, football legend Steve Sidwell, plus a surprise visit from Rio Ferdinand!

Memories made. Thank you to everyone who came along. ⚽️❤️👊
