Are meals included in the camp?
▾
A lunch and snacks are provided each day via a local catering service. Common dietary restrictions (no pork, halal) are taken into account — please specify at registration.
Can we request that two friends be in the same group?
▾
Groups are formed by coaches on the first day, based on age and technical level. Grouping requests are taken into account as much as possible, but cannot be guaranteed — the Clinics method favors mixing profiles to stimulate progress.
My child is not in a football club - can they still participate?
▾
Absolutely. Club membership is not required. The Clinics are open to all young people aged 6 to 17, all levels — from complete beginners to confirmed club players. The goal is to learn and progress in the Real Madrid spirit, not to select the best.
