As the excitement for the upcoming season builds, ODFC Cesena FC USA is thrilled to offer a unique opportunity for our young athletes to immerse themselves in high-level soccer development. By merging world-class coaching expertise and a training philosophy inspired by professional European leagues, participants will experience the perfect blend of skill enhancement and tactical growth. This pre-season academy promises to set the foundation for excellence both on and off the field.

The event for our 2011-2015 girls will be held at Byrnes Ridge Park Field #5 from August 4th-8th, from 5:30-8:30PM. It will follow the format of the WPSL International Combine for Semi-Pro/Professional women players.

The academy will not only focus on individual skills but will also emphasize teamwork and strategic understanding to ensure participants develop into well-rounded players. With tailored drills, dynamic exercises, and interactive sessions, athletes will gain insights into core soccer principles. In addition, they will be exposed to advanced concepts employed at professional levels, instilling a greater sense of confidence and adaptability on the field.

The academy's coaching team is composed of highly experienced professionals who bring unparalleled expertise to each session. Among the notable figures leading the program is Coach Francesca Stancati, a distinguished mentor who embodies the pinnacle of soccer instruction. With a career spanning national and international arenas, her contributions to women's football have elevated countless players to their potential.

Paola Luisa Orlando, is a top-level coach with the Italian Olympic Committee (CONI) and Italian Soccer Federation (FIGC). She has coached in Serie "A" and Serie "B", recently leading the women's team at Cosenza Calcio. She is also involved in the UEFA Playmakers Technical Project and holds a UEFA "A" Badge from FIGC.
