Training Camps & Tours in the Algarve - March 2011
 During a two week visit to the Algarve in Portugal, Danny Stones, Managing Director of Full Time Group (FTG) inspected existing and new professional football training camps and general sports training venues. These are now available for inspection visits and to book in exciting packages for spring, summer and autumn 2011 and winter 2012.
Due to the large number of teams and groups that FTG brings to the Algarve, the company is able to guarantee the best available prices for clients for 5 star or 4 star training camps - all with NO agent mark ups!
Danny commented, ‘Whether our professional football, rugby or other sporting clients need a pre, mid or post season training camp, or a break to recharge the batteries, we offer completely independent, FREE advice on the best training location and unique packages to fit the budget.'
It is a crucial part of the company's service that FTG regularly visits to inspect facilities and further develop relationships with existing and new partners. FTG helps to drive the year round business revenue of the resorts which guarantees the best solutions and best prices, service and conditions for FTG clients.
Danny Stones added, ‘I have been coming to the Algarve for 25 years and am increasingly involved in sourcing accommodation for training camps. During my stay the temperature was usually in the early 20s which made it very pleasant, especially compared to the freezing conditions and snow found in so many other parts of Europe. In this period our chosen facilities welcomed Premier League Fulham FC, the Japanese Women’s Football team who were competing in the Algarve Cup and recently had the England Rugby Team for a pre 6 Nations camp.’
All FTG locations offer full on site training, quality pitches, fitness, rehabilitation and relaxation. They range from secluded, private beach side hotels and villas to more vibrant options. All resorts are in the ‘Golden Triangle’ of Vale do Lobo, Quinta do Lago and Vilamoura, just 20 to 30 minutes maximum from Faro airport, which is itself around a two and a half hour flight from the UK and most European countries.
The Algarve in Portugal has average winter temperatures of 17 to 20 degrees and average summer temperatures of 24 to 28. With the most sunny days per year in Europe, it is a popular and long established hot spot for sports teams.
Exclusive use of locations and friendly matches can be arranged, along with discounted golf fees at the many world renowned courses, 11 of which form part of the resorts FTG offer and all add to the calm environment.
Package options include FTG staff accompanying teams for full on site support and to help organise additional excursions and requests.
FTG also offer, as part of their winning team performance programmes, optional ‘winning mentality’ packages to help teams to build mental resilience on training camps, as well as improve physical fitness and teamwork.
Other recent clients who have used FTG resorts in the Algarve include: England, Germany, Portugal, Switzerland and Ghana national football teams, Real Madrid, Dynamo Kiev, Manchester United and Bayern Munich. Rugby teams include Ireland, Australia, Gloucester, Bath and Warrington Wolves. Many other teams visit from the worlds of Gaelic football, hockey, netball, cycling, athletics, semi-professional, amateur and grassroots sport.
