"As I have come to expect from you all at Inspire – the planning and provision was top class and the boys were given a great experience. The trips to Lisbon/Sporting Lisbon Stadium were well organised and went down well. The highlight undoubtedly was the 8—1 Benfica Match against Setubal where the boys had a great time. The day at Sporting Lisbon Academy was a big success. The facilities were really good and the two coaches excellent.
Many thanks to all at the Inspire Team - I look forward to working with you again in the future."

Accomodations were outstanding and the food was ideal for children undergoing lots of training. We had the opportunity to visit 3 clubs and at all 3 we witnessed different coaching styles, all were excellent for our players. The trip was an outstanding experience, one of which we would definately do again. I cannot say enough good things about the inspiresport team.

Our Valencia trip was outstanding, everything we could have wanted. Th ehotel was much closer to the training gorund than we expected and the weather was spot on. I felt that inspiresport had arranged everything thoroughly before arrival which meant that the experience matched our expectations and the trip ran very smoothly. We will be booking again next year!

The Villarreal training ground was superb. Access to the 1st team training sessions was brilliant and the players were very friendly. Our games were organised very well - a moral boosting 2-1 defeat (believe me this was a result for us). Excellent experience for all - students and staff, will definately be going again.

I was very impressed with each and every member of staff I liaised with during the organisation of the tour.  The representative in Bilbao, Juan Sanchez, was excellent and added to the enjoyment of the week away.  The football was pitched at a perfect standard for our group and our fixtures were very competitive and highlighted how much the boys had improved. The accommodation was perfect too and served excellent food!  A huge success due to the friendly nature of inspiresport and Athletic Bilbao staff!

 “Being able to observe the Athletic Club Bilbao first team training proved very valuable and led to the boys being more focused in their own sessions. The on-site staff were a credit to inspiresport, very professional and friendly. Many thanks for organizing a great trip. I would recommend it to all other schools I come into contact with throughout the season”.

Please pass on our thanks and appreciation to Storm (ed. inspiresport’s representative), she was completely on
the ball as well as being great company. As a result we did not have even
one slight niggle (which is unheard of on school trips!!)
 
The venue certainly lived up to your billing. Although I have been involved
with organising Tours with you before,  it is the first time that I
have been able to go on one and I am mightily impressed with your whole
organisation.

An outstanding tour in all respects. The quality of the football experience exceeded my own high expectations. The boys learnt a tremendous amount during an incredible 10 days that included a training day at Chelsea FC, then travelling to Valencia CF before completing the tour by training and playing fixtures on a pitch immediately adjacent to the Spanish U21 squad at the Oliva Nova beach resort.

We took a mixed group of Year 9 pupils to Real Madrid CF.  The children described it as ‘a dream come true’ - after day 2!  It has made such a positive impact to the children’s commitment to sport.  I believe this is the best trip the school has ever run.

It's the first school trip I'd been on when the boys cried because they had to COME home, rather than LEAVE home! The cards, letters and comments from the parents have been fantastic. Without exception they all said that it had been the highlight of their son's school life.

Our years 9, 10 and ll children had a fantastic time in Valencia – great quality coaching at the club, we were lucky to meet the players and watching Valencia play Barcelona in the Champions League was the icing on the cake. Since returning to school, the young children are keen to know when they can go too.

Our programme in Valencia was the fourth visit we have organised with inspiresport. The company tailors our itinerary to our exact needs and it runs very smoothly.  The trip was smashing – a really busy week but great fun for everyone involved.

Truro College, Valencia CF. March 2007

We wanted to give the children an experience they would never forget but we were also keen to build on their positive attitude towards sport. We took a group of pupils from three different year groups.  We found that the kids gave each other a lot of support and became a very solid group.  Taking them to Valencia made them understand how much hard work goes in to playing at the top of your game.  We had a great time and are already planning our next programme in Spain.

Royal Docks School to Valencia Oct 2006

No one back at school will understand just how great the week was - two La Liga matches, friendly players (Jose-Mari, Riquelme...), charismatic, skillful coaches and a group of boys having the time of their lives.  As one boy said - 'surreal'.  Oh yeah, and the sun shone every day and we swam in the Mediterranean!  Your fulfilled all your promises.

When the boys arrived at the Lezema ground, it was wonderful to see the look on their faces.  It had a real 'wow' factor.

The final match the boys played was a real highlight. To see the lads play with so much pride and passion was a magic moment.

The quality of football was fantastic, in a great setting with lots of people watching.  We were made very welcome and it is a memory to treasure.

Aylsham High School, Athletic Bilbao, Oct 2006

 
We took three groups of children, including a girls team.  The range of ability varied widely and some of the girls had never played football before.  Everyone had a fantastic time – the coaches really looked after us and taught us all (even the teachers) some new techniques.  The teams’ work ethic has visibly improved  since our return to school and I can only put this down to our experience in Valencia.  The girls ‘though were the shining light of the whole programme.  What a great trip! Inspiresport were very attentive to our needs and ensure that we had the experience of a lifetime.

Clitheroe Royal School, October 2006

‘Our mixed ability group of 13-16 year olds had a fantastic time at Valencia C.F., Spain. The club and inspiresport made sure that coaching matched each child’s ability, so everyone – from our total football beginners to our county level players went away, with a unique experience. And of course, they were all chuffed to bits at having played as ‘professionals’ at a top club for a week!

‘Our children probably got the closest they’ll come to living the life of a professional footballer for a week at Valencia C.F. and they loved every minute of it.  We are currently organising our 2007 visit and have double our numbers to give as many  children possible the opportunity to experience this once-in-a-lifetime trip’

‘I’ve taken school soccer tours to the World Cup, the European Championships, Barcelona and Ajax but none of these matched the truly inspiring experience we had Valencia CF with inspiresport. Every aspect of our entire programme was perfect and all the extras inspiresport provided made it even more special.  Every football fan should get the chance to go on a tour like this one.’

A top class hotel of maximum comfort and an ideal location with regards access to major route ways and the beach.
The management and staff at the hotel were most accommodating and made our stay a pleasant and enjoyable one. 
First class!’ 
 
‘The coaches were experienced and of a good quality. This suited the whole ethos of the programme and the players responded accordingly. The sessions laid on were appropriate and testing. The communication from the coaches was also excellent and sessions were arranged to meet the needs of the group. Coaches were friendly, pleasant and became an integral part of the group during our football time.’
 
The facilities at the Home Depot Centre were of the highest standard. I can say without doubt that they were the best  the pupils have ever experienced! Thank you!
