Join us in Greece with our Football Course running between 27th and 31st October 2025 for a proper family holiday — with football, sunshine and a European champion at its heart.
This October half-term, we’re heading to the award-winning IKOS Olivia resort in Halkidiki, where Lioness legend and European Championship winner Jill Scott MBE will be leading the week’s football fun.
From world-class facilities and all-inclusive luxury to turquoise waters and laid-back family time, this is the kind of break that has it all. While Jill and our UEFA-licensed coaches take the children for high-energy training sessions each morning, parents can enjoy the spa, sip a coffee by the pool or head out for a bike ride through the olive groves.
In the afternoons, it’s about coming together — whether that’s on the beach, over a long lunch or cheering each other on during the famous Parents’ Game.
This isn’t just a football camp. It’s a full family holiday with something for everyone.
