FTA Summer Soccer Camp in Rome
EduKick is very proud to offer the "EduKick Italy - Francesco Totti Academy" Summer Soccer Camp, an Italian Language Immersion Soccer Training Camp hosted byFrancesco Totti Academy (FTA). Our basic aim is to create a stimulating atmosphere where the athletes have the possibility to enjoy soccer, to improve their technique and understanding of the game and make new friends. It's our goal to have the players remember their time in Italy (Rome) as a positive soccer (and Italian language & culture) learning experience that they will remember for a lifetime.

The minimum time of the camp is one week with at least 10 hours of intensive education. There will be practical demonstrations, exercises and programmed games. These soccer activities develop technical skills and tactical knowledge. The participants will be trained by high qualified coaches (F.I.G.C. UEFA) of Francesco Totti Academy. During the EduKick Italy - FTA camp the players will receive suggestions, precious advice and explanations about new specific football training methods. The players will be divided according to their age and ability...receiving personalized program instruction. At the end of the camp each participant will receive an EduKick Italy - FTA "Certificate of Attendance."

Italian Language Study:
The Academy organizes Italian language courses for all campers. The lessons will be given by highly qualified Native Italian teachers from our affiliated language institute, Dante Alighieri Roma.

EduKick Italy Historic & Cultural Information:
Rome, the capital of Italy, rises on the banks of the Tevere about 25 kilometers from its main outlet in the Tyrrhenian Sea. It is situated at the center of an undulating plain, the Campagna Romana, which is confined one side by the hills of Monte Mario, Gianicolo and Monteverde and on the other side by smaller hills of volcanic origin - the so-called "Seven Hills." It is hard to believe that Roman civilization began with a small settlement of shepherds and farmers near the Tevere river, on Palatino (one of the seven hills on which Rome was built and where most of the Roman archaeological treasures were found). Rome's 2,700 years of history are laid open with every step. Ancient Rome rubs shoulders with the medieval, the modern runs into the Renaissance, and the result is an open-air museum, a city that is a monument to itself. Ancient Romans, Vandals, Popes and the Borgias, Michelangelo and Bernini, Napoleon, and Mussolini all left their physical, cultural, and spiritual marks on the city.

While in Rome, our EduKick Italy players will be visiting all of the the famous Roman monuments, including: The Coliseum, San Pietro, Trevi Fountain, The Spanish Steps, Imperial Forums, Piazza Venezia, etc.
