These tournaments are so called "summer select tournaments", because they are supposed to be played by mix select area teams comprised out of the best soccer players. At least that is the way it used to be, because now all it takes is for a family to play and they can be on one o those teams. No tryouts to choose the best players. The worst part is that these so called tournaments are run and played on summer weekends that take up every day, all day, every weekend of July and part of August leaving no time for families to go to the beach or visit resorts or other fun places. Now, we understand that for he most dedicated youth soccer players and families that can be fun. But after years of summer select tournaments the competition has been nothing short or average.

This summer, 2018, is a Soccer World Cup summer. It is that special event that occurs every four years to capture the world's attention, create new stars and establish new soccer cultures as the standard for the rest of the world to follow. The first ever World Cup was played in 1930, and ever since, it has been a worldwide spectacle. Every young soccer player who is old enough to know of the World Cup has fantasized about playing in the World Cup, no matter how short-lived the fantasy might be. The truth is, in order to achieve this dream, young soccer players need to take an active role in developing their skills, push themselves past the every day player limits, sacrifice, cultivate relationships with coaches and the international soccer community, and plunge themselves in the soccer culture. One way to accomplish all these goals is by taking an international soccer tour. One of the best places to do this is in Portugal. Portugal has emerged as a Soccer Nation that consistently produces top players. Like most other countries in Europe, and, in fact, the world, soccer in Portugal is glorified, competitive, and a way to relate to just about any stranger on the street. It is tattooed in everyone's soul no matter age and gender and right into the cultural crust of the nation. The IBERCUP Aspiring young soccer stars would benefit greatly from a guided tour of the IBERCUP. The IBERCUP is one of the World's premier youth competitions and features five nights of soccer and socialization. Here, young soccer enthusiasts and players from all over the world compete against one another within their own age bracket in a minimum four games for victory and pride.The IberCup is one of the largest International Youth Football Tournaments / Soccer Tournaments around the World. Play against the best Football Academy Clubs / Soccer Academy Clubs in different locations (Europe, Asia and USA). Young soccer players will learn skills that extend far beyond soccer moves, although competing in another country will certainly sharpen their gameplay dramatically. Beyond soccer, they will get the unique opportunity to live in the folds of a foreign culture while meeting other like-minded international soccer players who are there for the exact same reason. This particular tour will extend an additional 5 days with other activities and cultural experience past the IBERCUP competition. Just the fact that young soccer players will be exposed to other foreign languages, foods, and travel are enough to make the experience worthwhile. Now add to that the chance to do what they love, play their favorite sport, visit new places, amusement parks, and participate in daily planned events, and you have a recipe for a deeply exhilarating and enriching vacation that these young soccer players will carry with them for the rest of their lives. To achieve your dreams, you must be ready to go to the ends of the earth. As a parent, you must be ready to do the same for your children. If they have an earnest love for soccer, there’s no better place to take them in preparation for a driven and successful career in professional soccer. |
