BOCA RATON, FL (January 12, 2007) - Schulz Academy players continue to experience success and reap the benefits of their hard work. Five Schulz Academy players were invited to attend the U.S. U18 MNT Mega-Camp in Bradenton, FL from January 17-24, 2008.  U.S. U18 MNT head coach Bob Jenkins invited 72 players from around the country to attend the mega-camp for future selection to the U.S. U18 MNT.  Unfortunately, two of the players, Matias Alvez and Sean Hart had to decline because they are not U.S. Citizens.  Sean Hart is already in the Canadian National Youth system.  The players that did accept the invitation are Hasani Sinclair, Kwesi Alleyne, and Steven Seballos.  Congratulations and good luck to these players in the upcoming camp in Bradenton.

TAMPA — One third of the players invited into U.S. Soccer’s most recent Under-17 Residency Program gained experience while playing in United Soccer Leagues Super Y-League this past season. In all, 17 players on the U.S. U17 Residency roster hail from clubs in the SYL. Clubs forwarding multiple players into residency includes: Schulz Academy (4), the Washington Crossfire (2), and the Chicago Magic (2). 16 SYL players were invited to residency camp in 2006.

"Our first goal in the Schulz Soccer Academy is to provide players for the highest level. I think all 4 players have the potential to reach the level to play in the Men’s National Team in 4-5 years, and they definitely have the quality to become professional soccer players in the future in Europe. I will help them as much as I can, to provide these opportunities when the time is right", says Dr. Schulz, founder of the Schulz Academy.  

"To be accepted in such a high level league is fantastic. That’s the perfect infrastructure and preparation for top Elite players before their college or professional soccer carrier. To get a spot on one of these Academy Teams is almost like a scholarship for a college. Only the best players will be accepted, and this is exactly what college coaches are looking for. They will get well prepared players for their teams", says Dr. Josef Schulz, Head Coach of the Schulz Academy .

"Since we were accepted few days ago the telephone doesn’t stop ringing. Players from out of state, and even players from other countries want to join the academy to be part of this league. We all are honored to be part of this newest development in US Soccer, and this also will enable us to continue to provide players for the US Youth National Teams, Top Colleges and Professional Teams here and abroad", continues Dr. Schulz.
