Valeo Nazare First Team
Professional Program
30 DAYS – Soccer Trials and Intensive Training
The Pro VIA is a 30-day training period with top-level amateur and semi-professional European clubs for players 18 and over. The program offers unique cultural interaction with foreign players, as it gives players an opportunity train within a foreign club to gain valuable international experience and to showcase their talent to our partner clubs. One of the most valuable components in a young athlete’s journey is exposure. This program greatly increases the number of opportunities presented to our players, as they will gain a vast amount of exposure that is unmatched in comparison to the majority of current academy programs. In addition to exposure, the Pro Valeo International Academy has a greater degree of immersion in the foreign game than what a soccer academy typically offers.
Year Abroad Program
This is the chance to play for a European club whilst studying abroad. Our Pro VIA Year Program enables competitive players over the age of 18 to take the opportunity to play for a German, Spanish or English Semi-Pro/Amateur club for either a half, or full season. Players are placed on a club according to their level of play, and have the opportunity to train and compete with elite players from all around the globe. An initial evaluation period upon arrival determines specific club placement. Players live in either a shared apartment, or with a host family and will attend an intensive language institute that will enable our players to experience rapid advancement in their foreign language. University degree programs are also available in Germany, and BTEC Level 3 Diploma in Sport is offered in the English program. This program serves as a rare chance to gain exposure overseas, while simultaneously gaining valuable playing and learning experience.
