How Spring Break in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico Could Change Your Child’s Life

How Spring Break in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico Could Change Your Child’s Life

“I can easily trace my interest in languages back to that trip I took as a kid,” said Joseph Bilotta, co-owner of EduKick. “I remember feeling a sense of confidence upon returning home, I new that I was wiser and it made me feel special." Joseph now speaks English, Spanish, and Italian and is a certified bilingual instructor as well as a licensed soccer coach and seasoned youth soccer camp specialist.

Joseph Bilotta and Corey Zimmerman, owners and operators of EduKick International Soccer Camps, started out as childhood team mates and became life long friends and business partners. As teenagers, Bilotta and Zimmerman traveled to Germany to with their youth soccer team to compete against German players. Both men believe that this was a pivotal experience in their lives.

Now they are sharing the benefits of international travel, language study, and professional soccer training abroad with youth players worldwide by providing year-long academic soccer boarding schools, summer soccer and language camps, Spanish & Soccer Spring Break Camps, and custom soccer team tours abroad.

Intense Language, Cultural, and Physical Training in one Vacation
EduKick International Soccer Schools and Soccer Camps are proud to introduce Spring Break and Summer Camps in beautiful Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Students who attend EduKick Vallarta will be learning and practicing on the campus of the "El Colegio Americano", an American school located minutes from the beach!

Players register for a seven (7) day course. During the Spanish immersion soccer program your child would either 'home stay" with a Mexican family or stay at Plaza Pelicanos, a three star hotel in Puerto Vallarta's hotel district.

Not only will students enjoy the excitement of international travel but also receive daily Spanish language instruction, excursions to the beach and mountains, social events, and Mexican cultural education. All of these activities are combined with daily high-level professional soccer training, forming a unique learning experience that your child will never forget.

About Puerto Vallarta, Mexico
Puerto Vallarta lies on Bahia Banderas, the second largest natural bay in North America and has over 100 miles of coast line. It is perfect for beach lovers, offering activities such as whale watching, parasailing, snorkeling and wind surfing. The surf is normally very calm and safe for swimming year around.

Sunsets are magnificent and there are many places to experience fine dining and local cuisine. As a part of EduKick’s Vallarta 2007 program, students will be taken on eco-excursions to visit the beaches and the jungle of the Mexican coast.

Top Notch Mexican Soccer Training
Participating youth will train daily under the direction of EduKick Mexico General Director, Armando Cosilion's CODEFUT Soccer School (based in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico). Mr. Cosilion is an experienced, licensed Mexican soccer coach and owner of, "CODEFUT Soccer School! “

The international soccer scene is highly competitive. Training abroad will strengthen your child’s soccer skills in a way that no local training camp could, disciplining their minds and bodies and distinguishing them as soccer players. At EduKick, students receive a combination of personal, one on one training, as well as team focused training that will help them excel in the international arena.

EduKick focuses on four key areas of player development:
· Strength and Conditioning
· Technical Precision
· Tactical Development
· Sport Psychology

The Benefits of Training Abroad

America is becoming more and more diverse. Knowing about a variety of cultures will be invaluable to your child as they navigate through life. Bilingual Americans are in high demand, especially those fluent in Spanish, as the Hispanic population in America is growing rapidly.

Students who immerse themselves in another culture will learn a foreign language more quickly and fluently. This kind of full immersion helps a student understand and use not only the grammar and vocabulary of another language but the context and dialects of that language as well.

EduKick Vallarta provides such a full immersion experience for its participants. EduKick Soccer Camps open your child’s eyes to the world outside our country and open up new opportunities for them within our country. Plus, they will train and compete with coaches and foreign players who take soccer very seriously. You son or daughter will return home from the EduKick camp with new soccer skills and experiences that can only be obtained by an international travel experience.
