Football in Paradise

Living, playing football and studying in Mexico as a teenager or young adult represents an enormous challenge for both the participant and the educators. From the participant courage, effort and character is required to succeed. From the staff, it demands professional guidance, supervision, mentorship and expertise in order to provide the required level of service to our young players.

By participating in our EduKick Mexico Academy student-athletes will be better prepared for the decisions they are considering when it comes to choosing a North American College or University that best fits their personal academic needs and allows them to continue playing soccer at an increasingly higher level.

The EduKick Mexico Football Academy is for competitive international players (boys or girls) from 13-24 years of age that are interested in living abroad in Mexico for an academic year studying the Spanish language and training daily under the direction of an experienced, professional Mexican coach.

Historical Information

Technical & Tactical.

Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco is a veritable paradise on the Pacific coast. Tucked into a niche in the West Sierra Madre mountain range, it can be reached in 30 minutes from Guadalajara by air or in four hours by road. It is a city of contrasts, where natural beauty blends with modern tourist development. Although it has luxury hotels and innumerable services for tourists, it is still pleasant to stroll down its' cobbled streets and enjoy the charm of an old-style country town.

Football Training

Professional Mexican Coaches

Our technical sports training staff is comprised of professional Mexican coaches who have extensive experience teaching young athletes. Many of our staff coaches are former professional players in their respective sports. EduKick believes that sports in the 21st century is more competitive than ever. Individuals from all over the world are stronger and better trained than they were in the past. To continue to meet these competitive demands requires an integrated approach with attention to four basic areas of performance: technical, tactical, physical and mental. Neglecting any of these denies the player the opportunity for maximum development.
