Are you ready to take your child and your team to the next level?
The RFS Academia U-12 trip to Portugal in 2024 proved that a Latvian team can compete on equal footing with Portugal’s leading clubs in this age group. The Latvian boys fought hard to secure victories against S.L. Benfica and Estoril Praia. Following these wins, the Sporting CP coaches themselves reached out to arrange a friendly match. Our individual training sessions with the team also caught the attention of Portuguese academy scouts. Today, one of the players from that squad is already playing for Casa Pia AC.
Several camps in the USA have shown that kids are eager to play at the level of the top European academies. While soccer in the U.S. is still developing, we can see that American teams are already making a strong statement at both the youth and adult levels. Their ambition, combined with our experience and professional network, has allowed us to organize exciting matches for U16-U17 teams this summer.
