My friends back home in Australia ask me if I’m a better player. The answer is, yes. The coaching and experience available here, can only make you a better player.
My son spent 12 wonderful days attending the August development camp at FCV Academy. He is leaving happy, full of emotions and motivated to keep up working hard to achieve his goals.
I came to FCV because I wanted to experience English football and develop my footballing abilities. I think FCV is one of the best places, because it gives you that exposure and experience that you might not get somewhere else.
Back home I only train three times a week, coming to England and FCV we train every day, sometimes twice a day. It’s a great way to get better.
I would recommend FCV to other aspiring footballers, you get to meet new people from different countries and cultures and your football level will improve.
