🇮🇹 Italian Way Sessions (Coach Giuseppe)

Discover the discipline, passion, and precision of Italian soccer with Coach Giuseppe, a UEFA B licensed coach with over 15 years of experience in respected Italian academies like Vico Equense and G. Ferraro. Giuseppe brings unmatched passion and a sharp eye for detail, creating a dynamic and challenging environment that mirrors the intensity of the Italian game.

This clinic is designed to build confident, competitive players through a focused approach on:

  • 1v1 attacking and defending

  • Smart body positioning and decision-making

This is classic Italian soccer — tough, tactical, and incredibly rewarding.
