The Victorian Churches Football Association is proud to invite you to attend an upcoming event for its officially supported program NSR Australia and USA College Soccer.

NSR enters its eighth year as an officially endorsed program across Australia of which we are now proud to bring this opportunity to young footballers here in Victoria.

The Victorian Churches Football Association will be hosting this event with the view of identifying potential USA College Soccer prospects that have the ability to play full time soccer in the USA. These lucky athletes will have the chance to play their trade in the extremely professional American College Soccer system whilst potentially on a soccer scholarship.

As students do not enter the US College system until they have completed Year 12, the NSR program is now making a number of places available for student athletes who are currently in high school Years 9, 10, 11 and 12.

Students who have completed high school may also trial as there are a number of places available for athletes who have only been out of high school for less than one year or students who are in their 1st Year of University or TAFE.

This is your only chance to showcase your skills under the watchful eye of VCFA and NSR Australia qualified coaches. We are mindful that the trial is in the school holidays, and before the VCFA junior season starts. However, NSR have been conducting their trials since January with other leagues in all states, and they have kindly granted us one of their last Australian trials for 2014, to maximize our players’ preparations for the trials.

It is important to note that the NSR program will be tailored to your individual needs and ability, as we realise no two athletes are the same. NSR works directly with all US Colleges and Universities in every division in every state. There is sure to be a level for all types of athletes ranging from elite to social level players and from top scholars to those who possess the standard academic level.

The trial will be held on:

Location: Bob Saker Oval (adjacent to Mahoneys Reserve – home of Nunawading FC)

You must now register your details online with NSR Australia so they are able to send you your OFFICIAL invitation which will notify you of the time for your trial.

Please visit www.nsraustralia.com and click on EVENT REGISTRATION, choose your corresponding sport

Please note that places for this event are limited so be quick to register your interest prior to the deadline of Monday, 7th April, 2014.

VCFA is delighted to be able to provide this opportunity to the junior players in our Victorian Churches community and wish you all who are interested, the best in your pursuit of a soccer scholarship to an American College or University.
