点评:We spent a week in the October mid term break in the Maldives with Football Escapes and it was an unforgettable experience.
I can’t praise the coaches highly enough, their professionalism, work ethic and enthusiasm is truly remarkable.
Head coach Omar not only guided the kids (and parents) through the week with passion and humour but also instilled respect and discipline. His enthusiasm on and off the pitch is unmatched and totally infectious! Nick was quietly funny with his “dad jokes” and my “not so football mad” younger son really enjoyed connecting with him. Marcel and Bruno always had words of wisdom and encouragement for my boys. And last but not least George, it is his first year helping as a coach and his maturity and professionalism is a testament to his wonderful father Jason. Joe Hart was the ambassador for the week and he got to know all the kids very quickly. He was kind and encouraging, also super laid back and approachable.
In addition to the 2 hour football session in the morning the coaches organised various activities in the afternoon from FC25 tournament to games in the water park and of course the famous parents match. (Even some of us mums got roped into it and enjoyed it despite ourselves 😂). As you’re on an island in the Maldives you’re bound to constantly bump into each other but the guys always stopped for a chat and it’s a testament to them that we all felt like one big family by the end of the week.
I also want to compliment the sales and concierge team, they made the booking and pre-departure process easy and stress-free.
Thank you for an unforgettable week, my only regret is that we haven’t done this sooner!
翻译:十月中期假期,我们参加了Football Escapes组织的马尔代夫足球之旅,度过了一周难忘的时光。
教练们的热情令人赞叹,他们的专业精神、敬业精神和热情都令人印象深刻。
主教练奥马尔不仅充满激情和幽默地带领孩子们(以及家长们)度过了一周,还培养了孩子们的尊重和纪律意识。他在场上场下的热情都无人能及,而且极具感染力!尼克的“爸爸式冷笑话”虽然有点老套,但却很幽默,我那“不太爱足球”的小儿子也很喜欢和他交流。马塞尔和布鲁诺总是给我的孩子们提供智慧的箴言和鼓励。最后,还有乔治,这是他第一次担任教练,他的成熟和专业精神都体现了他优秀的父亲杰森的优秀品质。乔·哈特是这次活动的形象大使,他很快就和所有孩子都熟络起来。他友善又鼓励人,而且非常随和,平易近人。
除了上午两小时的足球训练,教练们下午还组织了各种各样的活动,从FC25锦标赛到水上乐园游戏,当然还有著名的家长赛。(就连我们这些妈妈也被拉去参加了,而且玩得不亦乐乎😂)。在马尔代夫的岛屿上,大家难免会经常碰面,但教练们总是会停下来和我们聊天,正是因为他们的热情,我们才能在一周结束时感觉像一家人一样。
我还要特别表扬一下销售和礼宾团队,他们让预订和出发前的准备工作变得轻松无压力。
感谢你们带来如此难忘的一周,我唯一的遗憾就是没有早点来!
