Join us in Greece with our Football Course running between 17th and 21st August 2026 for a brilliant family holiday — with football at its heart.
Set on the beautiful island of Kos, our Football Escapes experience at the five-star IKOS Aria is ideal for families who want luxury, fun, and football all in one place. The resort offers everything from beachside relaxation to family-friendly activities, along with exceptional service and unbeatable views.
Each morning, your children will be on the pitch working with our UEFA-licensed coaches and a Premier League ambassador, learning new skills and building confidence. Meanwhile, you can relax by the pool, take a dip in the sea, or enjoy some quiet time with a drink in hand.
In the afternoons, it’s about being together — whether you head out to explore or stay close and unwind. The week includes everything from the much-loved Parents’ Game to a final medal ceremony, designed to bring the whole family together.
