Ages 13–18
Full Season
Pricing on Application
Spend a full season training and competing with Primer Toque CF while attending an international private school in Castellón.
For ten months, selected international players live in Castellón and become part of Primer Toque CF. You're placed into a team matched to your age and level, follow the same training schedule, work with the same coaches and compete within the Valencia fútbol federation league.
The difference is time. You don't simply experience the environment - you have a full season to adapt to it.
The Full-Year Residency Program isn't open enrollment.
Players interested in the program can submit game film to apply. Primer Toque CF reviews the player and determines whether the program and club environment are an appropriate fit.
Outstanding performers from any Primer Toque CF International program can also be personally invited based on what they show on the pitch.
The goal isn't enrollment. It's fit. It's to select players ready for a full season inside the environment.
A short program can show you what a different level feels like. Ten months asks you to live inside it every day.
Join a Primer Toque CF team matched to your age and current level, putting you into an environment where you can genuinely train, compete and develop.
Compete through a full season in the Federació de Futbol de la Comunitat Valenciana and experience the rhythm, pressure and expectations of Spanish competition week after week.
Follow the same training schedule, work with the same coaches and meet the same expectations as the other players on your team.
Develop over time inside a methodology built around technical quality, intelligent decision-making and understanding the game.
This isn't an international program operating alongside the club. Your development happens inside the club.
I knew it would be tough, but I didn't expect how fast everything happened. Living here and training every week, you have no choice but to adapt. The game moves so quick that you must think before you even get the ball. After a few months I started to feel the difference. I came home for the summer knowing exactly who I am as a player and what I need to work on. It changed how I see the game.
Toronto, Ontario, Canada · Full-Year Residency Program
A full season in Spain means building a life around the game, not putting the rest of your life on hold.
Education
Players are enrolled in ‘International English School of Castellon - Dukes Education’ a leading international English-language private school in Castellón, continuing their education throughout the season alongside their training schedule.
Local Spanish Family
Players live with a vetted local Spanish family - a stable home environment and a much deeper experience of everyday life in Spain.
Meals & Guardianship
Included as part of the player's living arrangement.
Welfare Support
Full welfare support throughout the program, with ongoing communication between the program and the player's family at home.
The goal is an environment where the player can focus on school, fútbol and adapting to life in Spain, with support around them throughout the season.
The value isn't simply playing more fútbol. It's what happens when you're asked to meet a different level consistently over time.
Learn to adjust your game to international teammates, coaches, opposition, tactical demands and expectations.
Develop your ability to read situations, make decisions earlier and understand the game within the Primer Toque CF methodology.
Learn what it takes to train and perform week after week, rather than measuring yourself through isolated sessions or matches.
Grow through the responsibility of living away from home, attending school, managing your routine and becoming part of another culture.
Finish the season knowing what the Spanish environment demands, because you've lived inside it for ten months.
Live as part of a Spanish family, community, and school, building fluency in the language and a genuine understanding of life in Spain that goes far beyond the pitch.
Ten months gives the Primer Toque CF coaching staff something a short assessment can't - the chance to see how you develop over time.
They see how you arrive, respond to coaching, adapt to the environment, perform in training and competition, and develop across an entire season.
At the end of the program, players receive a written development assessment reflecting what the coaches have seen throughout the year.
You don't leave with an opinion based on a few sessions. You leave with a season of evidence behind you.
For players ready for more than exposure to Spanish fútbol - prepared to live away from home, continue their education, become part of a Spanish family, earn their place within a team and meet the expectations of the club week after week.
You aren't coming to Spain to see what the environment looks like. You're coming to find out who you become after a full season inside it.
Tell us about your age, position, current level and what you're looking to get from the experience. Submit game film, a match recording or player profile where available, and we'll review whether the Full-Year Residency Program is the right next step.
