Mason here,  I am 19 years old and currently playing in Holland with GVV UNITAS.   We play in the forth division Dutch league.  I work part-time and play footy in the evenings with a game every Sunday.

Experience:

EduKick Spain 2006-2007

In 2006 I was in the year long Spain Madrid program.  I left home at 15 to play and study abroad. I had a great experience learning Spanish and improving my football technique.  I played with Juventud Sanse in north Madrid.  Their team play is very fun with the tricky passes and jukes.  Very memorable year.

EduKick France  2008-2009

In 2008 I went to France to try my luck with the French Ligue.  I played in Cannes with A.S CANNES, the 3rd division club with plenty of history.  The venue is truly a paradise, living across the street from the beach. Studying 3 hours of french in the morning, to the beach for the afternoon, and then to play football under the lights is the ideal life for any individual.   The french are difficult to play with and have an unique style of play that takes time to learn.

Shout out to SEBASTIAN NASSIF, he is an awesome guy.   Aussi Les Freres!

EDUKICK ENGLAND

I played a tournament in Spain last spring with an international Edukick team, I met a few boys from England who were ball’n.  We all had a great time together,  so I checked out EduKick England for a week on the way home from France.  They have a good set up with the Bolton Wanderers academy.  EduKick gives a young player good exposure to the footy world.  If your a talent and want to play pro someday i recommend one of their programs.   Though, it is up to your skill, and proving yourself to the scouts and other teams, remember that EduKick is not giving away pro contracts to any player.

BENEFITS

I improved my soccer skills immensely during the years I have been in Spain and France. My friends back home notice a huge different in my play and technique. I also am fluent in Spanish and French which keeps my parents happy. Ha, I also made a lot of friends. I know people from all over the world and in different languages.

My recommendation is EduKick England or EduKick France. Best of luck to any players out there. Go For It!
