TO THE NEXT LEVEL

Trinity-Pawling Soccer

Trinity-Pawling’s varsity soccer program has officially partnered with SoccerViza — Costa Rica’s independent professional player development program and training center. Starting in August 2022, each summer, the varsity team will participate in 10 days of preseason training in Puerto Viejo de Talamanca. Under the leadership of SoccerViza’s Head Coach Joe Funicello and his staff, the Pride will train twice a day, practicing with and competing against SoccerViza’s third division professional team. The team will also play six different games against other professional Costa Rican teams. When they are not training, the boys will have the opportunity to explore the beautiful sights of Costa Rica.

“This experience will be extraordinary for the boys,” shared Head Coach Sal Zani. “It will be great team bonding, as well as personal growth for them on and off the field. I’m super excited to see the development of the team going into the fall season.”

“Our coaches and staff have already begun planning for Trinity-Pawling’s preseason needs and we can’t wait to get started,” added Funicello of SoccerViza. “It will be great for them to practice in a professional environment as they prepare for the upcoming season.”

This exciting new partnership will allow Trinity-Pawling soccer players to train with some of the best soccer players and coaches in the game — while taking their own skills to the next level. Thank you to Coach Zani and everyone at SoccerViza for the incredible opportunity. Roll Pride!
