A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO IMMERSE YOURSELF IN THE DAILY LIFE OF A PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALLER



The Live Like a Pro Footballer experience offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the daily life of a professional footballer. Each day, participants will follow a structured schedule that mirrors how professional players live and train, providing invaluable insight into the demands and routines of elite-level football.

For players under 18, our dedicated staff will travel to an agreed meeting point and chaperone the players from their home country to the UK, more specifically Newcastle where our Live Like A Pro Footballer training is based. Our trained staff make sure that there is a smooth transition, offering full support throughout the journey.

Players over 18 will be greeted by our staff at the airport upon arrival in Newcastle, from here we will gather at a designated meeting point before traveling together via the team coach directly to our hotel.

Live Like A Pro Footballer coaches personally meet and greet all players, (and their families if they have chosen to accompany them on the experience*), ensuring a warm welcome and that players get settled in ready to fully immerse themselves in the Live Like A Pro Footballer experience the following day. Additionally, our staff members will stay at the hotel, offering 24/7 assistance to ensure players' needs are met. Accommodation includes three nutritious meals per day, carefully tailored to meet individual dietary requirements.

Our main training facility is located just minutes from the accommodation and is a world-class venue used by professional teams, including those competing against NUFC squad teams. Upon arrival, our staff will introduce themselves and outline the structured itinerary that has been designed to provide a true-to-life professional football experience, offering a comprehensive understanding of what it takes to succeed at the highest level.

SAMPLE ITINERARY

Our sample itinerary gives an insight into the kind of activities each player on the programme will experience. As well as the football coaching, the Live Like A Pro Footballer programme also offers a range of other skills including media training and analysis which have become a massive part of a career in elite football.

In addition we also understand how important the social aspect of the programme is and have catered for this with a trip to the iconic St James Park - home of Newcastle United Football Club.

The itinerary on this page is just a sample - please note itineraries are subject to change and your personal itinerary will be confirmed and sent out to you a minimum of two weeks prior to your Live Like A Pro Footballer experience commences. The company reserves the right for timings and activities to change on a day to day basis.

Families may choose to accompany their player on their experience - if this is the case LLAPF staff will not chaperone players. Families must make their own arrangements for travel and accommodation however LLAPF can provide contact details for our accommodation provider.

Additional nights stays are also available at an extra cost.
