Meet Meindert Kooistra, a Dutch soccer enthusiast whose love for the game ignited during his childhood in the Netherlands. Now, three decades later, Meindert is a proud father of four, with two kids actively engaged in competitive soccer in the USA.

Like many soccer parents, Meindert and his wife found themselves immersed in weekend tournaments across the Western states. However, their desire for travel, exploration, and family bonding was unquenched. This led them, to a brilliant idea: why not blend soccer with family vacations?

Drawing from his expertise in organizing elite retreats for entrepreneurs and squash enthusiasts, Meindert envisioned creating something extraordinary for soccer families. Imagine spending five to seven days at luxurious family resorts, where kids receive top-notch coaching in the mornings while parents unwind by the shore or venture into nearby attractions. Afternoons are reserved for families to come together, immerse in local culture, and craft indelible memories.

Soccer Retreats partners with renowned soccer luminaries – including Champions League, Premier League, and World Champions – to offer a one-of-a-kind experience where soccer becomes the gateway to unparalleled family adventures
