Programs & Education for Every Stage

Spain Rush SPF offers two ways to train with us: a full-time boarding academy for players committed to a 10-month season, and a short-term program for players who want a shorter, intensive experience. Both include professional coaching, full board accommodation and daily life in Valencia.

A Full-Season Football & Education Experience

Our full-time program runs a full season, from August to June, and combines daily soccer training with real schooling in Valencia. It's built for players who want a full year of development, both on the field and in the classroom.

Players live in a full board residence with daily meals, cleaning, laundry and staff on site 24 hours a day. We also take care of visa paperwork and medical insurance for international students, so families don't have to manage that from abroad. Weekends bring trips around Valencia and matches at Mestalla Stadium.

Training

Players train 14 to 18 hours a week, led by UEFA Pro-certified coaches who build a plan around each player's level and position. Every player signs with a local Spanish club and trains and competes with that team 3 to 5 times a week, on top of 3 morning sessions with Spain Rush SPF. Gym work and yoga round out the schedule, covering strength, mobility and injury prevention.


This mix of club competition and academy coaching gives players real match experience against Spanish teams, not just training drills. It's the same path many young players in Spain follow to reach higher levels, and our coaches track each player's progress throughout the season to adjust training as they grow.

Schooling

Soccer only works long-term if school keeps up too, so we partner with Helios International School to make sure players stay on track. Depending on age, language, and academic goals, students attend one of four partner schools:


Every school coordinates its class schedule with our training hours, so players never have to choose between a session and a lesson. When a school isn't on-site, we handle transport with full supervision.

Train with professional coaches, year-round

Not ready for a full season? Our short-term program gives you the same soccer and academy experience, over a shorter stretch of months, so you can train hard and improve your Spanish without committing to a full year.

Just like in the full-time academy, you live in our full board residence with meals, cleaning and 24 hour staff support, and weekends include cultural trips around Valencia.

Training

The training side works just like the full-time program: daily sessions with UEFA Pro certified coaches, training alongside local Spanish clubs, and a plan built around your level and goals. You get the same intensity and coaching quality, just packed into a shorter window that fits a school break, a semester abroad, or however much time you have.

Spanish, On and Off the Pitch

Instead of full academic schooling, short-term players study Spanish at AIP Language Institute, right in Valencia. Classes are taught by university-trained instructors who specialize in Spanish as a foreign language, with weekly progress checks and one-on-one support to keep you improving at your own pace.



It's the best of both worlds: you spend your mornings improving your first touch and your tactical reading of the game, and your afternoons picking up the language you'll hear from teammates and coaches every day. Most players find that speaking even basic Spanish changes how connected they feel to the team and the city, and it's a skill that stays with them long after the program ends.

Which Program is Right for You?

Choose the Academy if you want a full season in Spain with real academic continuity and a path toward professional or college soccer.

Choose a short-term program if you want a shorter, lower-commitment way to train in Spain, over a school break or summer, before deciding on anything longer.
