WIMS STAGE EVENT IN SPAIN

 At least 6 months prior to departure

 If you are a US Citizen, as of right this moment, there are no requirements for a travel visa to enter Spain as US Citizens have up to 90 days as a tourist in the country.

Changes may apply so ALWAYS check online as there has been talks for a simple visa process coming soon!

If you are a citizen of another country, please research the travel requirements!

Depending on the club we are traveling to, but there will be WIFI at most clubs we work with. 

Yes, players will have their phones and will be able to stay in contact with their parents during the trip. Phone usage will only no the allowed at lights out, trainings, games, methodology classes and during meals. 

 Depending on the club, there could be in present or not. But, there will always be a 24/7 on call doctor through the sporting club for any emergencies and for any little sports injuries, there is always the club physiotherapist.  

We will provide a specific letter format for any players flying without their parents. This letter must be notarized and signed by BOTH parents and must bring the original copy to the airport!

It is always good to have some change on you (around 100-200 euros) just in the case a player would like to buy any snacks or merchandise on their outings. We will have a Stadium tour and a city tour where the players will have a chance to take a look at some items. 

It is always good to have a copy printed out, but the QR code can scan without a problem from a mobile device to enter the stadium. 

The facilities are indoors and are turf soccer/football fields. Please bring appropriate cleats (NO METAL STUDS). You do not have to bring “Turf shoes” regular cleats without metal studs are fine. 

There will be no access for unauthorized workouts. Players must follow the exact microcycle that our professional coaches have planned out specifically to control the amount of workload a player at your age can handle. This is a very intense week of trainings and multiple games. Not always more is better.

If the players are staying in the Clubs player residence, parents ARE NOT allowed to enter the residence as it is a professional environment. 

In the case the players are staying in a hotel, the parents can stay at the same hotel. (We normally go through the players residence option as it is a more true experience) 

Check in will be done at the airport. We will have a travel leader (can be the coach of your club or a WIMS coach for WIMS Select) that will lead the group into the check in counter. From there, he will lead the whole group, checking in the players one by one. At this time, players will also check in their luggage if it is oversized for the overhead cabin. 

Professional coaches from the Spanish Club structure. They will be coaches who are coaching the youth academy teams of the professional Spanish club, implementing their Spanish methodology within the trainings. 

There will only be allowed maximum 2 authorized outings for the players. The parent or guardian must write an email to the WIMS organizer of the trip specifically stating the parent/guardian name, the player name, the date and specific check in and check out time of the outing and from there WIMS will authorize this outing or not. 

The players can not miss any sporting activities such as trainings, games or methodology talks as we are here to LEARN football and soak in all the information the professional clubs can provide these players. 

Absolutely no snacks in the player residence. This is a professional environment that does not allow any outside food within the residence. You will be sleeping in the same building as professional youth players and eating the same player diet as the club.

Please let us know and we will buy a cake to celebrate after lunch or dinner!

Depends on every club, we HIGHLY recommend for the players to bring a wash-bag so their clothing does not get mixed up.
