The Bosquier Football Academy is celebrating its 46th anniversary this summer. For nearly half a century, it has been recognized as one of the best soccer academies in France and a leading destination for young players seeking high‑level training. Every year, boys and girls aged 8 to 17 from around the world join our program, widely considered one of the best French soccer camps in France, to experience a full week in the life of a professional football player.
Since 1981, our reputation has been built on four essential pillars: the excellence of our coaching staff, a program focused on individual technical development, world‑class facilities, and the transmission of strong human values. These foundations have made Bosquier Academy one of the most trusted options for families looking for a football academy in France that combines performance, safety, and personal growth.
Coaching is at the heart of our identity. All our coaches are state‑certified and fully dedicated to the success, safety, and well‑being of every participant. Their professionalism and commitment give families the confidence they expect when choosing one of the best French soccer camps in France.
Our training program is designed to develop individual technique. Each participant learns to master the ball in every game situation, which is the key to both enjoyment and performance. The daily schedule includes targeted training sessions, video analysis, workshops on nutrition and recovery, and small‑sided games and tournaments that allow players to apply their progress in a dynamic and motivating environment.
The Bosquier Academy also offers an exceptional setting. Located in Cavaillon, our complex provides ideal conditions for a football academy in France. It includes five natural‑grass pitches, comfortable accommodations with spacious rooms, private bathrooms, and separate toilets, a 250‑seat amphitheater for video sessions, a modern gymnasium, and a welcoming dining area. The entire facility is located inside a secure, enclosed, tree‑lined park that creates an inspiring atmosphere similar to an American‑style campus. This environment is one of the reasons families consider us among the best French soccer camps in France.
Beyond technical development, Bosquier Academy is deeply committed to instilling essential values that matter both on the field and in everyday life. Respect, integrity, politeness, punctuality, a love of effort, determination, initiative, and team spirit have been the foundations of our football/soccer camps since 1981, making us a trusted soccer camp in France for families from around the world.
Learning about oneself, learning from others, gaining independence, and building confidence, this is the expertise we have been sharing for 46 years. Our mission is to ensure that every child leaves with a positive, enriching experience, while understanding that football, and sport in general, are extraordinary sources of enthusiasm and fulfillment, essential to balance and personal well‑being.
