Registration for Soccer Exchange Programs Now Open!

It's that time of year again: We would like to invite all aspiring young soccer players to reserve their spot for EduKick's 2008 half-year, European soccer exchange programs in England, France, Spain and Italy.

EduKick soccer programs aren't your average soccer camps. This isn't a half-hearted hour-long training session every morning -- our professional staff are dedicated to helping players become competitive at an international level. These exchange programs help serious players advance their soccer skills.

During these half-year academic soccer schools, players will practice soccer a minimum of three hours a day, every day, with professional coaches who are used to whipping professional soccer players into shape. They'll also engage in weekly scrimmages against fellow EduKick students and other local soccer teams if possible.

But it's not just soccer training you'll be getting at an EduKick camp. The other half of the EduKick exchange program is language and cultural immersion. That means everything you do will be conducted in the country's native language.

If you're in Italy, your training and your academic classes will both be in Italian. You'll watch Italian TV, listen to Italian music and live day-to-day life as though you were actually an Italian citizen.

This isn't something for casual players. But if you truly want to get better at soccer, and want an amazing cultural experience that will broaden your horizons and introduce you to a bigger world than you could have ever imagined, then EduKick is right for you.

For the best EduKick players, there's even a chance of being scouted by professional teams. That's just what happened for Aoi Kushige, 19, of Japan and Jordan Kotsopoulos, 15, of Canada. Jordan had the opportunity to enter England's Premiership tryouts, which earned him an invitation from two teams, Blackburn and Preston North End, to return next year when he is 16 to potentially sign and stay.

Aoi, a female standout at the EduKick England-Blackburn Rovers yearlong boarding school in England, spent six months at EduKick's English school before she tried out and earned her first professional contract offer. Currently, the Lady Rovers are awaiting an official release for her from the Japanese Soccer Federation.
