Improve your game
Our dynamic and engaging football academy offers daily classes and a different focus each day. Making the most of our 7-a-side football pitch and excellent outdoor conditions, we provide training sessions and clinics led by qualified coaches, in partnership with Estima Sports. At the end of each clinic, participants have the opportunity to apply everything they’ve learned in a World Cup-style tournament. Participants in 7 to 10-day clinics will receive a certificate and a Pine Cliffs x Estima Sports football shirt.
For players aged 5 to 16, we have an exciting partnership with Estima, a professional sports coaching company specialising in football and based in the Algarve. Estima emphasizes the importance of teamwork and respect while delivering the highest standard of coaching, regardless of the player’s age or ability. Our camps operate from February to December during all school breaks. We offer various packages of 3, 5, 7, or 10 days, with classes taking place every morning from 9 AM – 11 AM for ages 5 to 10 and 11:15 AM – 1:15 PM for ages 11 to 16.
