One week only: July 10-14, 2022

The Italians are back!
For nearly 15 years, Golden Boot Soccer partnered with Italian pro soccer powerhouse AC Milan to bring European-style play to the DC area. This relationship developed into the Italian Soccer Academy, which offers the same high-level training in technique and strategy, featuring experienced trainers steeped in the methodology of Milan and other pro clubs.
- Our ISA camp will be headed by a top Italian Soccer Academy director who has experience working with professional clubs in Italy.
- The curriculum will be based on the Italian Soccer Academy methodology and inspired by Italian pro teams.
- The Italian Soccer Academy has worked with thousands of young players in the U.S., Europe, and South America.
- Selected players will have the opportunity to participate in tournaments in Italy and/or Colombia, once travel restrictions ease and families are ready to go abroad.
- Each player will receive a Italian Soccer Academy uniform (jersey, shorts and socks), plus a Golden Boot T-shirt.
