About us

We are a team of Dutch youth coaches and Filipino parents who bring young players to the Netherlands to train, play and see a new country.

How the camp started

The idea started in 2023, when a Dutch coach and a Filipino father talked about how few young players in the Philippines get the chance to train abroad. A year later, the first group of 18 players landed at Schiphol.

Our coaches work at Dutch youth clubs during the season and hold official coaching licences. Our team in the Philippines knows the families, schools and clubs the players come from.

Players go home with better skills, more confidence on the ball and friends from all over the Philippines. For many of them it is also their first trip abroad.

  • Learn the Dutch wayShort, intense sessions with lots of ball contact, small-sided games and clear feedback, the way Dutch clubs train their youth.
  • Everyone playsWe make groups by age and level, and every player gets the same minutes in matches.
