Fun Football Academy

FOR APARTMENTS AT CLUB LA SANTA. Please refer to the pricing tab.

After six very successful years staging the Football School with Peter Rasmussen, Club La Santa has now decided to put together 2 new Football Academies in 2009 with Jan M. Hansen, the originator of the Football Schools organised by DBU (Danish Football Federation).

We have decided to have an International Week in October to allow English speaking kids into the academy as well.

The Fun Football Academy is for footballers of all levels between the ages 8-14 years, boys and girls, who want a week of fun while playing the game. The players will experience a lot of different and fun activities such as “The Football Olympiad”, Football golf, Foot-Tennis and a mini tournament. Of course there will also be the daily training which includes techniques and skills.

The training

The players will be divided into 2 groups: ages 8-11 and ages 12-14. From Saturday until Wednesday there will be training twice daily for both age-groups and on the last day, we will have “The Olympic game”-day, where they will compete for a Gold, Silver or Bronze medal in 5 different football events. On the last day we will have the diploma ceremony and a competition where the parents can also show their skills.

In addition to Jan M. Hansen, the trainer-team will consist of 2-3 qualified coaches (depending on the number of participants).

The Coach – Jan M. Hansen

Jan is the manager of Fun Football. He is a former first division player and trainer and it was Jan who started the Football Schools in Denmark, helping to expand the the concept to 20 other countries, where more than 750,000 children have taken part.

In 1993 he was rewarded with “The football performance of the year” in Denmark. Jan has been a football instructor and lecturer on more than 200 seminars in 25 different countries, a Special Advisor at the UEFA Fun Football Committee, UEFA instructor, Fun Football and football event expert and writer of the book “Mini-turneringer – let at organisere” (Mini tournaments – easy to organise).

Outside the programme for the Football school the coaches / Club La Santa do not take any responsibility for the children, therefore it is required that the child be accompanied by a person over the age of 18 years.
