PIZAZZ is an elite soccer camp designed to teach male soccer strikers those fantastic South American fakes and feints performed by professional players like Ronaldinho in the Spanish League. It is for male attackers ages 14 -16 and located in Uruguay, South America.

Forty campers will be flown from the U.S. to Uruguay weekly to participate in a 6-day/5-night intensive clinic led by Professor Juan Gualberto Espínola, Head Coach of the U-16 Paraguayan National Team, winners of the 2004 U-16 South American Championship. Coach Espínola will use the same teaching methods and techniques that have helped build young South American stars for years. He will be assisted by a number of other South American youth coaches as well as translator coaches, US certified coaches, and NCAA soccer players.  This staff allows the organization to boast a 2.5 player to1 coach ratio.

The offense used in US soccer is more structured, diagramed and planned, while South American teams have a more liberated, wide open, in-your-face offensive game.  South American offense involves unexpected quick passes and lots of flashy one-on-one moves. The perfect word to define this style of play is pizazz, hence, the organization’s “Play with PIZAZZ!” philosophy.

The all-inclusive price tag for one week of PIZAZZ soccer camps is $3,200 dollars, and consists of: airfare, hotel, all meals, ground transportation, cultural outings, and a complete soccer kit. The organization will also offer vacation packages in the Southern Cone of South America for families who want to travel with their sons. Uruguay is considered Latin America’s safest travel destination and is located on the Atlantic Ocean between Brazil and Argentina.

Off the field, PIZAZZ will offer a number of well-supervised cultural outings. Participants will go to see an Uruguayan professional soccer game, will visit the stadium where the 1^st World Cup was played and the newly inaugurated “Museo de Fútbol” (International Soccer Museum), will tour Montevideo, and will take a trip to a local ranch for an “asado,” an Uruguayan style barbeque.
