07Questions from families
What families ask us most.
Who looks after my child during the stay?
The residence team, with 24-hour tutoring and supervision. Annajulia Monteverde, general manager of Global Football Total, coordinates the residence, logistics and the players' wellbeing, and Álvaro Serna leads the sporting side.
From what age can they come?
It depends on the programme: Player Experience and Player Test, ages 6 to 18; International Team, 15 to 18; and Pro Player Program, 15 to 21.
Do they keep studying while in Valencia?
Yes. We provide academic education for every one of our players, with study rooms at Iale Sport Center itself. Tell us their school year and situation, and we'll explain how it works in their case.
What happens if they get ill or injured?
Before arrival you give us their medical information (medication, allergies, injuries, diet), which only Global Football Total staff can see, and they come with medical insurance covering treatment in Spain. If there is an emergency, we let you know; if we cannot reach you, the medical authorisation allows the necessary decisions to be taken following medical advice.

Yes. The player must come with medical insurance covering treatment in Spain, and the family confirms this when signing the programme terms.
What do they eat? And if they have allergies or a special diet?
Breakfast, lunch and dinner in the centre's dining hall, and an afternoon snack in the residence's small café. On the registration form you tell us about allergies, intolerances, coeliac disease or any special diet.
How do they get between the residence, training and matches?
With our own transport, a fleet reserved exclusively for our athletes. All journeys on the programme are under our control.
