"We sent 4 players down to Atletico
Paranaense this summer for 22 days with Delima Soccer Enterprises.
I had the privilege of traveling with the boy's and observing for
5 days of the training as well. All 4 players did not want to come
home at the end of their stay and all 4 players want to go back
for more than 22 days next summer. Having taken teams all over the
World
 in
my 27 years as a soccer coach, I cannot imagine a better soccer
experience for American youth players. From a parents perspective,
the environment is clean and safe; the food is plentiful and
healthy; and, the people are warm and friendly. From a coach and
director of coaching's perspective, the players are given personal
attention; the coaches are extremely knowledgeable and focus on
the details of becoming a good soccer player; they train with
Atletico youth players and play with these players against local
Brazilian teams; and, the emphasis at every level, including the
professional team, is on technical skill. The San Juan Soccer Club
fully endorses Delima Soccer Enterprises and is going to encourage
all of its players to consider going to Atletico at some point
during their career with the club."

"I believe that the soccer educational experience at Atletico for a
youth soccer player is second to none. The soccer coaches and
educators at Atletico Paranaense have a passion to educate youth
soccer players. Over the last two years that I have visited
Atletico, I have observed that this coaching staff is both
friendly and professional. They have training techniques and
testing methodologies to measure and improve soccer players'
performance that cannot be found at U.S. college soccer camps. I
believe two weeks at Atletico's world class facilities in
Curitiba, Brazil is worth about 3 months of intensive Club soccer
training. This is an experience that any serious soccer player
should not miss."

"Clube Atletico Paranaense is an experience I will never
forget. I have never been to any camp in America more
challenging and fun. Clube Atletico does not compare to any
camp in Ame rica
though. I received intensive training from people that really
know the game. Atletico is for the serious soccer player who
wants to achieve more. What I really liked about the training
is that I learned tons of drills that I can practice at home
on my own. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The staff at Atletico
was very nice and helped me with anything. My Atletico
Paranaense gave me most, though, was the confidence to beat
any opponent who challenges me. I am ready for any challenge.
Just give me a ball."

"The training at Atletico was great! It gives you a
first hand look at what it takes to become a professional. You
also get the chance to play with the next up and coming world
class soccer players. It is a very wonderful experience to receive
training of immense quality. There is no camp as great as this
program!! The food is great also."

“Clube Atletico
Paranaense was very good. I learned lots of new things to
take back to the States with me. I wish I could have stayed another
month at the facility. I worked with some of the Professional
Reserves and I fit right in. The competition was very tough, but not
too hard. The rooms and food were perfect. We had a good diet of
meats and vegetables with plenty to drink. The people were very
friendly and always willing to help. Thank you for the opportunity in
Brazil.”

“Chris had a great
time and immediately told me he wanted to go to Brazil next year for
four weeks; in fact, he wished he had stayed for four weeks this time.
Chris told me that the instruction was spectacular and
significantly better then any training he has ever had. He
couldn't stop talking about how much he learned. For that I can not
thank you enough. Frankly, I am not surprised, as Colly had given me
all of your credentials, and spoke of you as one of the great
Brazilian trainers. I only wish we could have sent Chris
earlier.”

“Viva Brazil! It
was a great pleasure to be there when it all happened (World Cup 2002
Champions!) Atletico Paranaense is awesome! Second to none. They
have developed a template to test and study players so that
an individual player can get a tailored made training program
that will increase his effectiveness on the field. It is high
technology! The players love it since it gives them
immediate feedback on their progress and what they need to
do training wise to become a better player. Sign up Nic
for at least a month for next summer ! Thank you for the
opportunity!”

“David asked me to
e-mail you and let you know that he really enjoyed the training at
Clube Atletico Paranaense. All he talks about is ‘…in Brazil they do
this… in Brazil they do that…’. He was very impressed with the
training and also the way he was treated as a person. I know that if
his schedule permits that he will return to train and or to visit.
Please convey my gratitude to the CAP staff for looking after my son.
I am eternally grateful.”

“I just wanted
to take time out to thank you for giving me the opportunity to come
down to Brazil for the second time. I think that this time was more
efficient then the first time. It really put things back into
perspective about where I want to be. The training at Atletico
Paranaense was great. I really felt like I fit in. The overall trip
to Brazil was great. I am just blessed that I met so many great
people as yourself, and pretty much everyone down there. I really
think that I made long lasting friendships. I also think that I made
long strides in my ultimate goal, being a professional soccer player.
Thank you so much, I look up to you and respect you a lot.”
