Blackpool FC training camp with FTG
 Blackpool FC have become the latest club to enjoy a training camp in the Algarve in Portugal organised by Full Time Group (FTG).
FTG specialises in the Algarve and due to our very close relationship with the resorts and the large number of teams that we bring, we offer the best service, prices and conditions - guaranteed. But don’t just take our word for it!
Ian Holloway, Manager of Blackpool FC
‘I would give this 12 out of 10! In all my time as a player and manager this is the best training camp I have been on. The venue itself and overall environment was perfect for the balance of what we needed. We worked hard with 17 sessions on the excellent quality pitch, used the very well equipped gym, luxury pool and private team meeting rooms and importantly also recharged mentally after what has been a non-stop two years for our club. Great organisation by Danny Stones of Full Time Group.’
Matt Williams, Club Secretary of Blackpool FC
‘Once it was agreed that we would undertake a pre-season training camp, I was left with very little time to source a suitable venue and facilities. We contacted the Full Time Group who were a breath of fresh air. They arranged an inspection visit for our coaching staff and then all I had to do was book the flights as the Full Time Group did the rest. The pricing was competitive and the trip was great value, payment terms were easy and communication from Danny Stones and his staff were first class throughout.

As this was our first overseas training camp, to have Danny on site ensured no headaches for me back in the office and allowed our coaching staff to focus their attentions on the job in hand. He also ensured there were no surprises with ‘extras’, a problem we had encountered on UK camps. The manager, coaching staff and players all commented on the fantastic facilities, food and surroundings there were and at times I began to question whether it was as good as they made out, so I asked Danny to help me arrange a long weekend on the international break in September so I could check for myself and for once I have to agree the players were right, it was an amazing place with top class facilities. |

I would recommend Danny and the Full Time Group to anyone and I am looking forward to working with him in the future.’
Phil Horner, Head Physio of Blackpool FC
‘From the well organised inspection visit I made with Danny Stones, through the preparation leading up to the trip and throughout our stay, the advice and support we received was excellent. Multiple sessions in a day, specialist gym and dietary requirements, extra masseurs, late changes to schedules and personnel were all dealt with highly efficiently. Danny importantly understands the individual needs of a large football group and his specialist knowledge of the local area was very useful throughout our stay.’

Kevin Phillips, Blackpool FC striker and former England international
‘With a number of new players joining the club like me pre-season, this training camp was the perfect way to get to know the other guys well on and off the pitch. I have luckily been to some great venues in my time and this is definitely one of the very best. The wonderful weather, training and leisure facilities, varied food, private hotel areas for us and everything was top class. Danny was always there when any of us players or the staff needed any help and overall the support, organisation and service were excellent.’ |
