Should the best girls train with boys? We think so, and Loradana Paletta is why.

At 15, she’s Team USA’s youngest player at the U-17 Women’s World Cup. In the opener she scored twice and set up three more in a 17–0 win over Samoa.

She has almost always trained with boys. At home with her older brothers. At our Long Island centers as a U10–U11 player, where we group by ability, not gender. Then as the only girl on NYCFC’s U-15 boys’ academy team.

In 2023 she played two age groups up for us at the Gothia Cup and was outstanding. She was also frustrated. The level didn’t bring the intensity she was used to.

That’s why NCE training groups are mixed. The best girls need to be stretched every week. Their club stays their club. We’re the supplement that adds the stretch.

If your daughter is the best player on her team, when was she last really stretched?

One month in, Charlie Gayeski already knows the difference between asking for the ball and demanding it.

Charlie is our October Athlete of the Month and one of the founding players in the School of Excellence. She joined to train smarter, not just harder. The early mornings took some getting used to; now she loves starting every weekday with soccer.

After a week training how to break defensive lines with her passing , she used it in all three of her matches that weekend, creating goals for her teammates and herself.

Congratulations, Charlie. Swipe for her interview and Coach Hugo Guzman’s take.

Not yet in the program? Middle and high school players can try a free School of Excellence taster week, November 16–20. Boys and girls welcome. Register by Sunday, November 1 via the link in our bio.

Huge congratulations to Julian Hall! The first former NCE player to score a senior hat-trick, and now a goal on his USMNT debut.

When he trained with us on Sunday nights, he wasn't head and shoulders above the group. What set him apart was the balance of confidence and humility that lets a player take a coaching point and use it.

What that looks like, and how parents can help, is on our blog page.

This summer's Pro Academy Tour to England put Jack Hewson to the test — playing up on the 2014 team against academy sides that outweighed and outaged him. He answered it. Down 1-0 to Exeter City, he helped spark the comeback. Against Charlton Athletic, he found out what a different level of intensity looks like.

His goal is to become a pro player - " Playing against some of the academies in England made me want it even more - it made me hungry to work harder and see how far I can go."

Congratulations to September Athlete of the Month: Jack Hewson.
