Football / Soccer Coaching and Training in Quito
Football in Ecuador:-
When it comes to football, South America is a hotbed for talented players and passionate fans. This is certainly true of Ecuador who has made strong appearances in both the FIFA World Cup and Copa América. However, while the country may have a strong national team, it still has a long way to go at the grassroots end of the game.
A lack of funding and support has meant a number of talented players, predominately from poorer backgrounds, have been unable to enjoy organised coaching sessions and competitive matches. However, by joining one of our football coaching placements in Ecuador, you will give a number of keen players the chance to train, play and enjoy football as part of a structured team. You will also be able to join in with training with youth players at a top football school. This will give you lots of playing experience and provide another exciting dimension to your South American adventure.
The coaching placement will see you work in a professional football training school, run by one of Ecuador’s premier teams, Liga Deportiva Universitaria. Historically, Liga is one of the more successful teams in the country and has won a number of national titles. Liga is a non fee paying school and offers places to the most talented players from all over the country. They also provide scholarships to a number of players, giving those from the poorest backgrounds the chance to study and train at the school, whilst providing free food, accommodation and transport. As you can imagine, there is a high demand for these places and the standard is high.

Itinerary
& Highlights |

By volunteering on this coaching and training placement at the Liga school, you will work alongside the local staff, assisting them in running daily coaching sessions, across a range of abilities and age groups. You will also be able to join in and train with the youth players. As you grow in confidence, you will be able to take a more active role in the organisation of training sessions and competitions.
The football schools hold regular matches against local teams and also run a number of tournaments on weekends. You may be able to get involved with these activities and will soon see how football is a centre point for many communities in Ecuador. You will soon see how seriously the players (and their families) take it on the pitch! The football schools also run a football camp during the summer holidays which you will be able to get involved with depending on the time you travel.
There is a lot to do at the football school and you will be expected to work between 3-4 hours a day, five days a week. Furthermore, in addition to football coaching, the schools offer other education and language lessons. Helping to teach the players English may form another important part of the programme and gives the players an important skill away from the pitch.
Most of the coaching takes place in the mornings which means that you will be able to get involved with other activities in the afternoons such as coaching at another football school for less advanced players. Alternatively, you could learn Spanish at our language school or spend time exploring the city of Quito, or quite simply take some time out to rest and recuperate. |

Accommodation
& Centre Details |
| |
You will live with a local homestay family while living in Ecuador. They will provide you with a comfortable room as well as breakfast and dinner each day. You will probably eat lots of rice, chicken and potatoes as well as lots of locally grown fresh fruit. Specific dietary requirements can be catered for. You will need to buy your own lunches each day, but food in Ecuador is very cheap. Living with a local family will not only improve your Spanish speaking skills, you will soon become part of the family and have a welcoming and safe place to relax and unwind while overseas. |
