Campus Experience MAX Residential - Real Madrid Foundation, Madrid

Campus Experience MAX Residential is the advanced boarding strand of the summer football programme run by the Real Madrid Foundation in Madrid, Spain. It is open to boys, girls and goalkeepers aged nine to seventeen, with separate intake groups for each and training groups organised by age. The MAX strand is designed for players who already train regularly and want a more intensive week: the provider states that it runs with a lower coach-to-participant ratio than the standard programme, although sessions remain group-based. The weekly structure is fixed. Check-in is on Sunday evening and the week runs through to Saturday, giving six nights in residence. Each day includes three training sessions and one values session, plus an experience activity. The values work covers respect, teamwork, equality, self-esteem, motivation, autonomy and healthy habits, and sits alongside the technical and tactical coaching. Sessions are delivered in a bilingual Spanish and English environment by Real Madrid Foundation staff. The main venue for the residential MAX programme is the sports complex of Universidad Europea de Madrid, which has both natural and artificial football pitches. Some sessions may also take place at Real Madrid Sports City in Valdebebas, the club's main complex, with twelve pitches, changing rooms, training rooms and a medical centre. The provider reserves the right to adjust facilities for organisational reasons with prior notice. Participants stay in the residence on the campus of Universidad Europea de Madrid, in a setting that includes laundry service, a dining hall and overnight security. Rooms at the micampus Wynwood residence have private bathrooms and air conditioning. Campus staff supervise participants around the clock, and children leave the campus only with staff or on organised outings. Full board is included, with breakfast, a mid-morning meal, lunch, an afternoon snack and dinner served daily. The week also includes a guided tour of the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, its museum and official store. The MAX welcome pack contains an Adidas Real Madrid Campus kit and a black Real Madrid Foundation kit, each with shirt, shorts and socks, plus a backpack, a boot bag, a bottle and a cap, and a diploma is awarded at the end of the week. Optional services such as an official Adidas uniform, a goalkeeper jersey, airport transfer, a bus service, an extra night and a campus protection plan are arranged separately. The camp suits families looking for a demanding football week in Madrid with full board and supervision included.
