ZICO Clinic


While the best soccer players in the world will be in South Africa for the World Cup in July of 2010, the new generation of soccer players will be in Orlando, Florida, improving their skills at the Zico Soccer Clinic and participating in the Disney Cup International Youth Tournament.

The Zico Soccer Clinic at Disney Cup will primarily target soccer teams, especially the ones who will participate in Disney Cup. The clinic will be held 3 days prior to Disney Cup. Teams will be trained by professional coaches from the Zico Soccer Academy in Brazil, some of them former players, and with a high experience in elite soccer training.

Participating teams will have the opportunity to improve their skills and knowledge about Brazilian soccer and its style of play.  This training will prepare the athletes for Disney Cup as well as future competitions.

"Any chance to have an impact on the young soccer player is a privilege. There is no other place in the world better than Walt Disney World to attract the new generation of soccer players. The ESPN Wide World of Sports is a beautiful complex and the perfect place for the Zico Soccer Clinic, where the players will learn how to play the 'Brazilian' way. I'm very excited with this opportunity". - Zico

Be part of the Zico Soccer Clinic by registering your team. The clinic will be for advanced players age 9-18, as well as coaches. The clinic will be held at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex in Orlando, Florida from July 8-10, 2010.
