NCE Soccer will run the COE Programming at 14 venues across New England, the New York Metro and North Atlantic areas.
Specialist outfield coaching will be offered at every venue, with specialist goalkeeping coaching programs at six venues across the three regions.
Tryouts will run from Friday December 3rd until the final tryouts at Socceroof in Brooklyn, New York on December 16th.
NCE Technical Director John Curtis, said: “Tryouts for NCE Soccer’s COE Winter Programming are always popular as they provide a gateway into everything that NCE Soccer offers.
“NCE Soccer is far more than just a coaching program, it is a fast-tracking development tool for our players when they need it most.
“Our coaches, led by three former Premier League players in Tyrone Mears, Gary Taylor-Fletcher and myself, are hugely experienced and bring a wealth of knowledge and contacts.
Benefits
“But aside from the physical coaching of players, the COE Program provides a huge range of additional benefits.
“Players within the COE Program are available for selection to our international tours, our College Showcase events, our Invitational tournaments and more.
“We help players to navigate their way through the College process, we connect players with professional clubs where appropriate, we provide a huge library of resources to help our students develop.
“We make no apology for the fact that our tryouts are tough, the COE program is only for the best young players.
“This is to ensure selected players get the focus and commitment they need to stand out from the crowd at a crucial time in terms of their soccer and social development.
“We preach hard work, dedication, focus and efforts and the results speak for themselves.”
College Program
NCE Soccer have helped scores of players to secure top College places through out work with college scouts and coaches.
