Spring Euro Travel Team

NVFC is excited to be taking the current Euro Travel team to Europe this coming week. The team will get the chance to travel to two of the most well renowned Football (soccer) nations in the world, Italy (winners of 4 World Cups) and England (arguably the best domestic league in the World). The team is made up of mostly NVFC players from the 2004 birth year and coached by Michael D'Agostino and Tony Pensato. Tony has been taking teams to Europe since 2004 as part of the Excel Soccer Academy. The goal of NVFC is to take a group of players to Europe every year in Spring/Summer to allow them to experience this fantastic opportunity. The trip offers players a chance to play against some of the top youth academies in the world. In the past travel teams have played against Tottenham, Southampton, Inter Milan, and Brescia academy teams. (These are just examples of teams the group has played in the recent past and final fixtures will be set leading up to each trip). Besides playing games in Europe the boys will attend a Barclay's Premier League game (Manchester City vs Tottenham) and a local derby in Italy (Chievo Verona vs Verona Hellas). The trip also includes two training sessions run by European youth professional coaches. This promises to be a trip of a lifetime that will expose the boys to a different level of passion for the game.

The Euro Travel team is selected by Michael D'Agostino and Tony Pensato who are the NVFC Academy Directors. The trip is for current U11 players, those who will be playing U12 the season after the trip, and players are chosen to be selected for the group on their playing ability as well as training habits and behavior.
