Hone Your Soccer Skills Against The Legs Of Iron Of the Mountain Youth Of Intibuca

Think you are in shape? Imagine walking 10 miles to town up and down 1000 or 2000 feet every day. Imagine running up hills like that.  Imagine playing soccer with legs like that.  Think you're in condition? Take a look at these legs.

When the Abuja Unity Boys team from the capital of Nigeria came to Intibuca to play soccer, they didn't bother practicing.  "These players are so small, we'll run all over them." Imagine their surprise when they literally bounced off the legs and bodies of these "little Lenca Indians". "Their bodies are like iron", they complained.

Come to the SoccerNSpanish camps and get a chance to play against these "little Lenca Indians".  Located in La Esperanza, the mountain capital of the departmento of Intibuca, in Western Honduras, this program provides you the opportunity to build your 'futbol' skills in one of the world's great soccer countries. For two weeks,  you'll spend each afternoon as a member of an  soccer club, training alongside Honduran boys and girls in your age group and receiving instruction from excellent coaches.

While strengthening your soccer abilities, you'll also improve your Spanish during mornings and get to know the Honduran culture. During your stay with the family of a Honduras family, you'll have a chance to share with your host brother or sister not only an enthusiasm for soccer, but also social and home life. This well-rounded program is the door to a busy and exciting two weeks.
