School football tours to the Netherlands

Take your students to the birthplace of the Cruyff Turn and one of the most famous footballers to play the game, Johan Cruyff. With the opportunity to travel to Amsterdam and experience the greatness of Ajax FC, your students can join in with sessions run by top-quality coaches!

We’re sure all your young footballers are aspiring professionals, so we arrange a post-training Q&A chat with their sporting expert and trainer. This is a fantastic way for your students to fire away any questions they might have about their future and a career in football.

Our school football tours to Amsterdam and Rotterdam can be joined with hockey teams. So you can take even more of your sports teams away on a memorable sports trip!

School football trips to Barcelona

Certainly one of, if not the biggest, football teams in the world are Barcelona. And guess what? You can take your students to the Camp Nou with NST. Learn about the Tika-taka footballing philosophy of the Spanish national team and local clubs; maybe something your football fanatics can incorporate into their own game.

With two expertly-led training sessions in the middle of a jam-packed footballing itinerary, your students will experience one of our school football trips the right way!

Want to see some of your students’ idols play? We can make it happen! Tickets to watch a professional football match can be added as an optional extra. So you can inspire your students with an extra treat.

School football trips to Madrid

Madrid is the home to two huge footballing giants: Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid. And, on one of NST’s school football trips, your students could be training at their world-class facilities in the heart of the city.

We know your footballers will be itching to play against the local competition, which is why we organise some friendly fixtures so your students can test themselves against other teams and put into practice their new skills.

And, when your students aren’t playing or training, they’ll be experiencing the home ground of Real Madrid or Atlético Madrid and a whole host of other cultural attractions the city has to offer.
