In this occasion, we are going to make a small analysis of the benefits of sending your child to Kaptiva Sports Academy. As parents, I’m sure you have many questions about how one or the other program can affect your child’s development.
First of all, as a definition, Kaptiva Sports Academy is a residential football program for boys between the ages of 12 and 17. A place where they can live in the residence while they continue their studies and train every day on the field with our coaches.

Personal growth and autonomy
Leaving home at that age can be quite a shock. And for such a long time if they choose the full program. Remember that we have already published a post explaining the different programs.
That is why this experience will help them to become more independent and autonomous. They leave their comfort zone to face new challenges, take on new responsibilities and gain confidence in themselves and their abilities. The child who will return to your home will not be the same as the one who entered KSA. He will be more mature, with more friends and anecdotes to tell. He will know how to cope better in a foreign environment and will develop his social skills.
This does not mean that they are disengaged from the family. In fact, children often maintain contact with the family. The fact that they are so far away and separated, the trust placed in the children increases, and the bonds are strengthened.
Intercultural Skills Development
At Kaptiva Sports Academy we open our doors to the whole world and, as such, we have children from all over the world. This will undoubtedly help them from an early age to eliminate prejudices and expose them to other cultures.
This is very beneficial and helps to broaden their perspective on things. Seeing other ways of acting in certain situations or reacting to life’s setbacks is undoubtedly the best thing they can experience.
Moreover, they are able to make friendships that can last a lifetime. Living together is a way of growing and learning from each other.
Life skills acquisition
In relation to the first point, the children here mature in a special way. Although they are accompanied by tutors and coaches, it is part of them to relate to each other and to deal with the different situations in which they find themselves involved.
Resilience, self-discipline, teamwork, and time management. These are just some of the qualities they will begin to develop. Here they will discover another set of advantages that they may not understand at the time, but will certainly appreciate over the years.
And, of course, no less important will be your skills on the field. Our coaches have developed the Kaptiva method, well structured and equally supported by the psychological part. You are sure to come out better players than you were at the beginning of the program. And, above all, they will learn to work as a team.
Preparing them for the future
In the end, it is about educating and creating good people. That is the task of any educational or youth centre. Kaptiva Sports Academy is a football academy, but also a home where they will spend a lot of time together. As we said before, they will not be alone, but guided at all times by a team of professionals. Psychologists, coaches, tutors… All of them have a specific role that contributes to the personal development of the boys.
The future is an uncertainty for everyone, but at least we can contribute to KSA members being able to cope with the problems to come. We are interested in developing good people and good players, both on and off the field.
These are not all, but some of the benefits of sending your child to Kaptiva Sports Academy. If you have any questions about our programs, please feel free to contact us at any time.
