We are now accepting team registrations for tours to Brazil for spring/summer 2012
Overview:
Based on our years of experience, we combined our knowledge with opinions and suggestions of
parents, team managers and club representatives and created the Samba Tour. The Samba Tour,
our most popular and chosen tour, allows teams to get the best out of Brazilian soccer and the
country itself. Samba tour combines intensive trainings with sightseeing trips, tournament, and
cultural aspect of Brazil. Through our long-term partnership with Division 1 clubs in Rio de Janeiro,
we give a chance to international players to experience on their own how Brazilian youngsters
are developed into professional players. International players train with division I youth club
players, participate in scrimmages, friendlies, and tournament. Participating players are combined
with Brazilian players and are trained by experienced coaches, who often are national youth team
coaches of Brazil as well. Our program allows players to train with Rio's top youth clubs, such as
Fluminense FC, Botafogo, Vasco etc. since our objective is to give international players a real club
experience in Brazil. This way, our program is incomparable since participating players are
exposed to high level club soccer in Brazil and experience the daily routine that Brazilian future
soccer stars go through. Players benefit from this program by gaining confidence, self-esteem,
unforgettable memory, and cultural experience of which they will be proud of for the rest of their
lives. Youth clubs from the United States., such as Bethesda Soccer Club from MD, Montgomery
Soccer Club from MD, or Youths Soccer Center from PA have participated in our team tour and are
among our many happy customers.

The 11- day tour has preset dates for August 5 - 15, 2012. Teams wishing to customize their tour
