For parents

What your family enjoys, and how we keep your child safe.

Sending your child overseas for football is a big decision, and being cautious about a company you have just found is the right instinct. This page is for you. It covers what your family does on tour, how the week is run, and the honest answer to the question underneath all the others: will my child be looked after.

Together

You are in it, not waiting it out.

The whole family lives the football week side by side. You are not a spectator in a hotel. You watch your player train inside an English club, you share the meals and the travel, and you take in the place together. The football is the reason you came, and you get to be part of it, rather than hearing about it on the phone at night. Parents tell us this is the part they didn’t expect to love as much as they did.

The IPPE team were great guides, super informative about the country and the soccer. They had everything set up and got us to all of it, efficiently.

Safeguarding

Safeguarding, laid out plainly.

The question every parent is really asking is whether their child will be looked after. Here is the honest answer, in three parts.

1

Supervision through the day and evening.

Your player is supervised by IPPE staff from the meeting point to the end of the itinerary, across training, travel, and downtime. Every player also travels with a parent, so they're looked after throughout by their own family and our staff, with staffing at roughly one staff member to every ten players.

2

We handle the logistics, so you can be present.

Accommodation, meals, transport to and from training, and the daily schedule are organized and run by us. You are free to be there for the football rather than managing the trip.

3

Parents are present.

On most of our weeks you travel too. A parent in the room is the oldest safeguard there is, and it is built into how we run the trip, not an afterthought.

Before you book

The questions parents ask before they book.

Cost, what is included, ages, how travel works, how the week is supervised, and how this is different from a tournament trip. We’ve answered the common ones in full, in plain language, on the FAQ. If yours is not there, ask it on a call.
