The trip finally got going after 3 years in the planning and several deferrals because of Covid-19. Everyone met at 6am at Newcastle Airport for their RyanAir flight to Alicante and then a 3 hour coach journey to Valencia. After managing to navigate security and immigration at Newcastle and Alicante airports (passports, Covid-19 recovery passports, vaccination passports, PCR tests et al), the group finally arrived in Valencia and with our hosts Valencia CF and Inspire Sports. The trip consisted of a lot of football - daily football sessions with the excellent Valencia CF coaches at the Valencia CF academy, only a 5 minute walk from our hotel; fixtures against local football clubs and a tour of the majestic Mestalla Stadium, home of Valencia CF. Pupils also had the opportunity to visit Valencia beach - it rained; a visit to Valencia Aquarium, the 2nd largest in the world - it rained again and also an evening's entertainment at a local 10pin bowling/arcade centre where we had an excellent meal. An exhausted group returned at Newcastle airport after 5 days and 4 nights away from their families after an excellent trip (apart from the rain!) A huge thankyou to those who helped organise the trip and to the staff and students who made it such a great trip. Look out for more exciting opportunities from Seaton Valley Federation Football.
