Why participate in Figo's Football School's summer camp in Cascais?

A Escolinha do Figo's summer camp is more than just a week of football; it's a true immersion in a project that was born with a clear mission: to democratize access to quality training for all children, regardless of talent, gender, or background.

During the summer camp, participants will experience this unique and inclusive methodology, developed by Luís Figo in collaboration with renowned figures such as Professors José Peseiro, Júlio Garganta, and Rui Pacheco. The training sessions are dynamic, fun, and educational, always focusing on the technical, motor, and social development of the children.

Here, it's not just about scoring goals. It's about:

• Learn to play as a team;
• Develop confidence and autonomy;
• Discover a love of training;
• Overcoming challenges with joy.

And all this in an environment where every child counts, regardless of their ability or previous experience.

How A Escolinha do Figo came about

Created in 2009 by Luís Figo, together with João Guerra, A Escolinha (The Little School) emerged as part of the Dream Football project, a digital platform that taught football through simple videos, accessible to all families. The idea was to use everyday objects, such as buckets, brooms, chalk, and garages, to show that it is not resources that make a player, but rather the will to learn and improve.

The television series, broadcast in Portugal, quickly became a phenomenon. In just three months, it became the favorite children's program for children under 10, and the 6th most-watched program for children under 14, with viewership split almost evenly between girls and boys. And, perhaps even more surprising, it was also the most-watched children's series among adults. Each video involved the entire family: parents, siblings, and grandparents created the scenarios and trained together.

The success was such that the public began asking for a physical version of the concept. And thus were born the A Escolinha do Figo gyms, which today have more than 50 locations in Portugal and even a pilot gym in London.

What happens over the course of a week?

The program was designed to combine football and fun, with structure, but also space for improvisation and the joy typical of the holidays.

Over the course of several days:
