Since weeks scouts for one of the most prestigious and successful Soccer Academies in the US, the Schulz Academy, are looking for the next Josmer Altidore, who just recently was transferred for $10,000,000 to Villarreal in Spain. Josmer spent his complete youth soccer career from age 8 – 16 with Schulz Soccer Academy.

“Don’t be surprised when you as a parent of a talented soccer player in Florida get a call from one of our many Schulz Academy scouts”, says Dr. Schulz, founder of the Schulz Academy. “This is part of our effort to give as many as possible young and talented soccer players in Florida the chance to improve in their sport they love”.

Special talented players, age 8-14, will have the opportunity in specific training sessions with Schulz Academy coaches to work on their soccer skills in the “Schulz Junior Academy”.

“It is extremely important for young players not only to learn the technical basics in the early years. Soccer is already on such a high level, that the understanding of the game is at least the same crucial in this age. Therefore good players need to have good players around them to improve. And that’s the idea of the “Schulz Junior Academy”. In this specific environment players will learn much faster than in their normal environment, because the speed of play and speed of thinking of the players around them is on a much higher level. It will benefit these players when they will join the Academy League at age 15, the highest level of youth soccer in America”, continues Dr. Schulz.

“Right now we are looking at specific sites in different regions of Florida for the training and the camps to provide this opportunity to as many as possible talented players. Each weekend watching youth games I am surprised how many undetected talents play in smaller clubs, where they almost have no chance to have a future in soccer. This is a unique chance for especially these players to practice in an environment, where they can excel”, explains Dr. Michael Marsh, spokesman for the Academy.   

Rob Cannova, owner of “i9SPORTS” in Palm Beach County has more than 6,000 young soccer players, age 4 – 14, in his organization starting the soccer season in September. “The parents of our players are already excited to get an opportunity like this. I am sure many of our talented players will take advantage of the special training sessions and camps of such a prestigious soccer academy, like the Schulz Academy”, is Rob Cannova convinced.

“There are not too many special talents like Josmer born every decade in this country, but I am sure that we can raise the level of each these players in order to play on a higher level either in their club or later in the Schulz Academy League. Having a roster spot on an Academy League Team guarantees almost certain a full soccer scholarship at one of the best colleges in the country, and perhaps the one or the other of these players has enough talent, to end up like Josmer Altidore, in the US National Team and in one of the biggest clubs in Spain”, hopes Dr. Schulz.
