As an assistant coach at the soccer club, I’ve been helping with setup of drills, passing balls to the kids, filling in as goalie from time to time, and overall just serving as an extra set of hands. My favorite part has been chatting with the kids and fellow coaches, as it has enabled me to learn a ton of new Spanish vocab! Especially swear words (oops) and soccer/sports – specific terms. I would definitely recommend this internship for anyone who likes sports, working with kids, and being outside! Adam Bernstein, Tufts. Spring 2023

In this internship I was an assistant coach who helped out at practices for a local soccer team. If you like soccer I would recommend it because it is a new experience and it is very fun getting to meet new types of people from all kinds of different ages who share a love for the sport.

I am an assistant coach to several youth soccer (fútbol) teams at C.D.C. Moscardó. I assist with practices while speaking to the players in English (most of the time). I am having a phenomenal time and would absolutely recommend it to anyone who likes soccer and working with kids.  Alex Schnur, Tufts, Fall 2019

I help conduct training sessions for little kids in both spanish english. I get to run my own drills and also help the trainers conduct their own. I would highly recommend this internship if you like soccer and little kids. It is super low key, and very fun! I am learning a lot of both coloquial and soccer related spanish.

Working as a coach and English director has been an incredible experience. Immediately, I understood the talent disparity between the United States and Spain. Even at U9 and U10 I saw players more technically developed and making more intuitive decisions on the pitch then many players in High School and club soccer in the US. This experience has been a highlight of my time in Madrid and I have learned prodigious amounts about the beautiful game and am excited to apply my further developed soccer knowledge when I return to the States.
