The NASA ECNL Boys 2012 team is the top team in the U13 age group for NASA Tophat soccer club, based in metro Atlanta. The 17 players on the team are coached by Coach Ray Tomlin and are currently undefeated and in first place in the ECNL U13 Southeast division. Most of the players have played soccer since they were 3 or 4 years old and many hope to play professionally or in college.

The opportunity to go to Italy means playing against Italian academy kids their age to see how they shape up against European competition, including a chance to play against the Juventus Football Club, one of the top clubs in Europe. For many of our players, just participating in soccer is a stretch for their families’ budgets but they work to cover the cost of dues, travel, and uniforms because its their sons’ dream to play the sport. This trip to Italy is out of some of our players’ reach so the team is stepping in to help raise funds.

Our goal is to raise $30,000 to ensure that all players can go on this unique, once-in-a-lifetime trip to learn, grow, and play soccer in Europe. Thank you for your support and help to achieve this goal!
