Who can participate in the AC Milan Experience Elite: age, level and requirements
One of the most frequently asked questions from parents who discover the AC Milan Experience Elite It's direct: “Does my child qualify?” The good news is that the program was designed with intentional scope. It serves athletes at different stages of development, from different countries and of both genders.

What is the age range of the show?
The AC Milan Academy Experience Elite accepts athletes between 8 and 16 years. Training groups are organized so that athletes of close levels and ages work together. For parents with children outside that range, whether younger or older, it's important to know that the program has no age exceptions. The limits are defined by the academy itself as the ideal parameters for the applied pedagogical model.
Is it necessary to have a minimum technical level?
The program does not require experience in professional clubs or basic categories. What it requires is basic familiarity with the fundamentals of the game: ball control, passes and positioning, sufficient to follow the technical sessions without compromising the group's dynamics.
The general recommendation is that the participant should have at least one or two years of regular practice at a school or club. There is no formal skill-based selection process.
What level of English is required?
The official language of the program is English. The recommended minimum level is B1, sufficient to understand instructions and interact with colleagues and technicians in the daily life of Camp.
The multicultural environment of Camp, with participants from several countries, is in and of itself a valuable immersion in the language. The combination of athletic development with language immersion produces results that don't happen when training only in Brazil.
Does the show accept girls?
Yes. The AC Milan Academy Experience Elite accepts participants from both genders. The students participate in the same technical sessions, the same mental coaching modules, and the same cultural activities as the other participants.
What are the modalities of participation?
- Residential: Accommodation at the Quark Hotel in Milan, with meals and transportation included. Suitable for families traveling from Brazil or other countries.
- Day camp: Attend sessions without accommodation included. Suitable for families who are already in Milan.
Both modalities offer full access to all modules and to the closure with Meet and Greet With the Legends.
How long should the participant be in the program?
The program lasts one week per cycle. It is possible to participate in more than one consecutive cycle. At the end of the first week, AC Milan coaches generally identify the points with the greatest potential of each athlete, information that serves as a guide for the work of the following weeks.
