This summer, Kuramathi Maldives partners with Campioni Soccer Academy to present an extraordinary family escape where children’s passion for football is nurtured through expert coaching. The escape, in the form of an exclusive training camp, is hosted by former Premier League legends and UEFA professionals—all set amidst the idyllic backdrop of turquoise lagoons and white sand beaches.
Camp Dates & Coaching Line-up
The exclusive training camps, open to children aged 4 to 15, will be held over two exciting weeks: ·
28th July – 1st August: Led by John Barnes MBE and UEFA coach Adrian Whitbread ·
4th – 8th August: Featuring John Barnes MBE and Stuart Pearce MBE
Each day includes two hours of immersive coaching that combines technical skill- building, game play, and personal mentorship in a supportive, team-focused environment. While the children train, parents are free to relax by the beach, enjoy resort amenities, or spectate from the sidelines.
Camp Highlights Include:
Welcome drinks reception for families
Midweek parents’ match alongside the professional coaches
End-of-week medal and certificate presentation
