Olé US University Prep Camp 2011

This July Olé Football Academy is proud to bring coaches from NCAA Division 1 US Universities to Wellington. Over four days coaches will run training sessions and evaluate players during match play. Players will benefit from working with a staff who train elite level players on a daily basis. These coaches consistently develop professional players (including current All Whites) and will share their methods to help you improve as a player and person.

You will also learn what it takes to earn US University scholarships from an internationally qualified staff of coaches with US University playing and coaching experience. Players and parents can attend presentations that explain the US University system, and what it takes to receive scholarship offers.  No other organization in NZ is better suited to guide young players through the recruiting process than Olé Football Academy, and we have the track record to prove it – over $2million in scholarships since 2009.

The camp is for players born 1993 to 1997 and there are residential and non-residential options so that players from all over New Zealand have the opportunity to participate in this unique educational environment.
