For 10 days, players experience a number of training sessions with some of the Netherlands top soccer academies/ clubs and play a variety of friendly matches. The first five days are usually spent  training and playing practice games, giving the possibility for players to acclimate, which enables  them to become ready for the “Challenge”. The challenge games are played  on a high competitive level and are sometimes played out of the residing city. This provides an opportunity for the players and parents to learn about the Country’s history and traditions. Players must be ready to play against strong clubs that have players that already play for top clubs or for the national squad. Upon returning to the USA, the players will be  more committed to improve their skills and more aware of the European soccer style.
