Trinity-Pawling\u2019s varsity soccer program has officially partnered with SoccerViza \u2014 Costa Rica\u2019s 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\u2019s Head Coach Joe Funicello and his staff, the Pride will train twice a day, practicing with and competing against SoccerViza\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis experience will be extraordinary for the boys,\u201d shared Head Coach Sal Zani. \u201cIt will be great team bonding, as well as personal growth for them on and off the field. I\u2019m super excited to see the development of the team going into the fall season.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOur coaches and staff have already begun planning for Trinity-Pawling\u2019s preseason needs and we can\u2019t wait to get started,\u201d added Funicello of SoccerViza. \u201cIt will be great for them to practice in a professional environment as they prepare for the upcoming season.\u201d<\/p>\n
This exciting new partnership will allow Trinity-Pawling soccer players to train with some of the best soccer players and coaches in the game \u2014 while taking their own skills to the next level. Thank you to Coach Zani and everyone at SoccerViza for the incredible opportunity. Roll Pride!<\/p>\n
