SENIOR SCHOOL Football Tour to Milan

Ackworth School took 42 students to Milan on a Football Tour with Inspiresport and Inter Milan. The students took part in four training sessions at Inter Milan’s Youth Development Centre delivered by the academy coaches. U12, U14 and U16 all played a fixture against local opposition and all teams showed excellent sporting behaviour and conduct in their respective fixtures. The students were given a tour of the iconic San Siro Stadium where players were able to sit in the dressing room used by some of the most well-known footballers, past and present. A tour of Milan – visiting the impressive Duomo di Milano along with visiting the Inter Milan trophy cabinet were also highlights of the tour. The students, behaviour throughout the trip was outstanding. I would like to thank all players, parents and staff for their support with the trip.

The Milan football tour was jam-packed and full of fun. The coaching was at a very good level, keeping everyone excited for the next session. The teachers were great and never failed to keep us entertained. All the expectations were met and more with everyone always having a smile on their face.

Milan was a very enjoyable trip, with every day filled with activities. We had four aaction-packed training sessions, which I think everyone benefited from. We visited the city of Milan and there were loads of architectural buildings with lovely views. There were many laughs along the way as well as some songs. We had a stadium tour of the San Siro. It’s massive and very colourful. We played some very thrilling games and watched some too – these were very entertaining. Overall the trip was wonderful!

On Friday 24th of March 2023 42 pupils went on a tour to Milan in Italy to be trained by Milan coaches and more.

Personally, I think that this trip was the best trip I have been on by far because of everything we did and the people we did it with. My favourite bit of the trip was training with a Milan coach and spending time with my friends during the whole thing. Overall, I think it was a great trip and if another one came up, I would definitely go on it.
