For the third year we welcome you to the Fun Football Academy run by Jan M. Hansen, the originator of the Football Schools organised by DBU (Danish Football Federation). We will have a Danish week in April/May and an International Week in September allowing English speaking kids the opportunity to take part in the academy as well.
The Fun Football Academy caters for footballers of all abilities, both boys and girls, between the ages 8 and 16 years 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”, “Fast Feet”, Foot-Tennis and mini tournaments. Of course there will also be the daily training which includes techniques and skills.
The players will be divided into 3 groups (Ages and abilities). From Saturday until Wednesday there will be training twice daily for each age-group 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 thelast day we will have the diploma ceremony and a competition where the parents can also show off their skills. During the week we will arrange a Parent/Siblings match, a match against the coaches and other social activities.
