Ages 11 to 15 · 2 weeks · SpainTwo weeks inside a Spanish academy. Before you bet three years on it.
Training with academy coaches, club trials in the evenings, and a scout showcase. Your player finds out what European football actually looks like at their age. You find out whether a longer move makes sense. Sometimes a club offers a place. Always, the family comes home knowing.

The honest part
What a two-week trip can and can't do.
It cannot get an 11 to 15 year-old a licence to play official matches in Spain: FIFA Article 19 stops that for non-EU minors, whatever anyone tells you. It can show a family the standard, give the player two weeks of daily European training, put them in front of club coaches, and occasionally open an academy door. Families who go in with that expectation come back happy. Families sold a “trial that leads to a contract” do not.
Who it suits
- Players aged 11 to 15 at the cohort start date
- Playing regularly for a school, club or academy team
- Families thinking about Europe in the next two to four years and wanting to decide on evidence
- Players who can handle two weeks away with a group

Questions parents ask
How much does it cost?+
The fee is confirmed on the discovery call and shown in the app before you apply. It covers stay, food and all training. A deposit is requested only with an offer.
Will my child play matches?+
Friendlies and trial sessions, yes. Official league matches, no: FIFA Article 19 prevents non-EU minors being registered. We say this up front.
Is there supervision?+
Yes. Xdrona staff travel with the group and are present at all sessions, meals and accommodation.
Can this lead to an academy place?+
Sometimes. Several previous participants went on to long-term training in Europe. It is a possible outcome, not a promise.
