 The La Manga Club blog has picked out the luxury holiday resort in Spain's new Advanced Football Academy (AFA) as one of the highlights of its 2010 sports offering.
Held at the world-renowned La Manga Club Professional Football Centre, the AFA "offers a more intensive programme" than the standard five-day Football Academy for three to 16-year-olds, with budding soccer stars aged between 13 and 18 able to attend two daily sessions.
Fitness and stamina are the focus of the morning's training (between 09:00 and 10:00 local time), while technical skills are concentrated on in the afternoon (between 16:00 and 17:30).
The price per week of an individual child attending both lots of sessions is €275 (£242), while it costs €250 a head to do just the technical work.
