Five days. Elite-level training and evaluation. Personally led by Ferdinando De Matthaeis — former New York Cosmos (alongside Pelé and Beckenbauer), NJ Soccer Hall of Fame, UEFA "A" / USSF "A" licensed, and the coach who helped develop Tim Howard.

This is not a summer camp. This is a bridge.

📅 July 20–24, 2026 | 9 AM – 1 PM
🎯 U15–U19 | MLS NEXT, ECNL, NPL, NAL players

🥅 Dedicated goalkeeper sessions — led by the GK Coach at Fordham University (D1)
🔒 60 field spots | 8 goalkeeper spots. Hard cap.

Selected players may be invited to training experiences with affiliated Italian clubs in Italy.

Cross the bridge to the next level.
