High School
THE TRAINING OFFER
The Italian Soccer School’s main goal is the development of an ambitious programme that, in addition to high-level soccer training, allows the student, while residing in Italy, to continue his /her schooling, to develop his/her general knowledge and to learn a new foreign language-Italian.
Our education programmes offer two options:
- HIGH SCHOOL - Boarding School Programme: for students under the age of 18 years.
- UNIVERSITY - Boarding School Programme: for students older than 18 years.
The soccer training programme is the same for all students, but indivdual skill levels will be considered specifically and respective needs will be addressed. All this in order to establish for each student, an adequate training programme that ensures a high level of soccer improvement so that each student can reach his/her full potential.
