Whether your goal is to accelerate your child’s path towards a chance to play at college level or push the boundaries of their potential towards ultimate sports excellence, Vale Newell’s is designed to offer professional training resources, a nurturing environment and competitive opportunities for the development of players with exceptional passion, aptitudes and attitudes.

Players admitted into Vale Newell’s will be guided, supported and propelled through a pathway with measurable technical, cognitive and emotional markers that are applicable within and beyond the soccer pitch. In this context, players are treated as holistic persons, families are integral part of the process and our coaches act as mentors and educators.
