We require that potential particpants should have a number of years experience playing year round for a Club or School team. Telephone interviews of potential players are conducted if possible where players can be quickly qualified or players can send their Football resume by email or fax.

EduKick welcomes beginners into its International Academies but recommends if possible they prepare before arrival by taking basic conversational language classes while at home or purchase self study materials. It will help you to adjust tremendously to your new environment if you learn just a little!

No all High School study is conducted in the native tongue of the host country. It can be overwhelming at first but those students with good study habits can overcome the initial frustration of trying to study while learning a language and obtain good results at the end of the year. EduKick provides initial additional language support and tutorials to each student in the early part of the program where necessary.

No. You must obtain agreement with your current High School prior to departure that they will give credit for subjects that you pass while studying abroad. EduKick advises clients who are concerned about credit to consider surrounding the program with summer school or investigating the possibility of online study for key subjects.

There are many factors involved in deciding if a student visa is required. Each country has it’s own set of rules for accepting visitors/students. Please contact us by telephone or email and using our many years of experience we will provide you with advise regarding visa requirements depending on the specific country and Academy you would like to join.

At the point of registration EduKick cannot and does not promise anyone trials or professional contracts. The minimum guarantee is that you will develop you technical skills and tactical knowledge of the game which will make a significant difference when or you return home at the end of your course.

The nature of our programs and the close relationships we have in the professional game means that each year a number of our players receive the opportunity to train or trial wit ha professional club. Players who develop and show potential at the discretion of our professional staff are selected to take part in trials/training with pro clubs.
