Real opinions of our players

What players and families say

My son took part in a month football summer camp in 2024 - as he says himself it was a fantastic sport, social, language experience. From a parent perspective: great organization, communication, staff attitude; very good sports and boarding facilities. All in all an amazing athletic and life experience for a teenager - much appreciated and highly recommended.

We are incredibly thankful for our experience with Kaptiva Sports Academy. From the very beginning, what stood out most was the quality of the people. The teaching staff, coaches, mentors, and support team genuinely care about the students and athletes. They create an environment that pushes players to grow while also making them feel supported, respected, and safe far from home.

My son (15 yr old) is enrolled at Kaptiva for his freshman year of high school. While letting him move to Spain at such a young age was very hard for me, the benefits have FAR exceeded any negatives of letting your child leave home early. So much so we have already signed him back up for his second year. The program, and all of the staff is TOP notch. Very very impressed, and he is SO happy there and thriving. Our son absolutely loves his soccer coach and says he’s the best coach he’s ever had. From what I’ve seen in person I would agree.
