PG10 Coaching have recently returned from Real Madrid FC and the Spanish FA; where hundreds of children across the Vale of Glamorgan aged six to 13 years old took part in a football development opportunity with the 10 times European cup holders.
The children and young people also spent time at the Spanish FA national team training complex learning and using the Spanish methods, and like top players like Ramos, Xavi and Iniesta, the PG10 children and young people used the official world famous facilities to aid player development.
The children also enjoyed development playing opportunities at the Spanish FA Academy and got to see the World Cup and European Championship trophy at the Spanish FA headquarters that Spain won in 2008, 2010 and 2012.
This unique opportunity also involved visiting Real Madrid FC 85,454 capacity Santiago Bernabeu stadium, going pitch side in the changing rooms, lifting the European Champions league trophy and learning about the culture and history of one the world's greatest football clubs in the clubs official museum. The huge highlight was watching the live match between Real Madrid and Elbar at the Bernabeu.
The players also visited the royal family palace, Plaza Mayor as well as the other wonderful attractions in the city.
Speaking in Madrid a PG10 spokesman said, "The tour was fantastic, the experience was a wonderful opportunity, not only for the children's football development but also provided the children and young people with essential life skills and the opportunity to learn about different cultures in a fun sporting environment, these tours help inspire Welsh children and gives them once in a lifetime opportunity to learn from top professional clubs and dream of being the next Gareth Bale.
"What it also does is put Wales on the map and promote talent in this country showing PG10 is more than just football its about creating a better younger generation."
Following on from the success in Madrid, PG10's next tour is to Barcelona FC in May.
