I am 14 years old and i have been playing soccer for 10 years in Class 1 select, and ODP. My dream has always been to play in italy, and ive heard that you have to start at around my age. How can i make this all possible?

    You should find a way to play international tournaments or try to play with a junior team for a spanish/english/italian/german team.

    Do some online research on the club you like and check out their farm systems.

    The best way to get noticed is by going to camps. Establishing connections. Look for big tournaments and get yourself on the teams that are involved so you’ll be noticed.

    Another big thing is how you’re viewed if you have an body size that’s just average then you’re just another in the crowd, if you stand out then it’s a big plus, this is the same for speed, shot, passing etc.

    The thing about ODP, is it’s more of a pipeline to college and more American teams. I have a guy on my team who’s friend with Kimani Hill, who can tell you the best thing is getting to camps and get people to notice you, talk with them if you have to, they’re (coaches, scouts) the way to bigs, make connections and you’ll find your way to bigger things.
