iSoccer’s Down Under Debut
We are very excited to announce our first official iSoccer camps in the Southern Hemisphere coming up next month in Wellington, New Zealand. Through a new partnership with Ole Academy, the iSoccer Assessment will be incorporated into the three day April camps for players between the ages of 7 and 12. Included in the camp fees, players will receive an iSoccer subscription allowing them to utilize the recommended technical training sessions before and after the camp.
“Ole Soccer Academy is very excited to partner with iSoccer. We believe that individualizing training and quantifying performance are two of the most important ingredients for a successful player development environment, and iSoccer gives us the platform to do both. iSoccer motivates players of all ages and skill levels and shows what it takes to be a technically proficient footballer. We can’t wait to compare the NZ players with US players.” – Ole Academy Director and former USL player Nate Winkel.
