*Example Feedback from Fulham Academy Report

Daniel Dixon, known for his skills in soccer, and Julian Hall were featured with the NCE USA Selection Team that traveled to England to compete in the Specialist Soccer international tournament. This three-day competition, hosted at Oakham School in Rutland, marked the climax of the NCE Pro Academy Tour of 2022, which included talented players from the soccer academy in Philadelphia.

The 2008 NCE Squad faced off against Premier League Academy Teams, including Manchester United and Nottingham Forest, who were closely monitored by former Premier League legend and current West Ham coach Kevin Nolan.

Nolan remarked, “You can see the quality and to think they don’t play together daily is terrific; it’s not easy to just become a team and play. There were two or three players for me that stood out; I thought they did really well.”
