With a burning love for football in our hearts, we formed a small group of students and set off for this enchanting training camp nestled in the Dolomites, a place that seems straight out of a dream.
The camp staff is warm and professional: even during the preliminary communications, they patiently and attentively answered all our questions. During the training, their expert guidance and caring attention removed any worries for us parents.
When the passion for football burns freely amidst the natural spectacle of the Dolomites, majestic like a poetic painting, here football blends perfectly with nature, as if we were dancing with it. The surprises and emotions that this summer camp gave us far exceeded all our initial expectations!
We can’t wait to see you again next year!!!
