Two NOW Soccer Academy players and our owner & Director of Coaching, Norbert Webley, recently returned from a productive trip to Germany focused on player development, education, and building relationships that will create future opportunities for academy players.
During the trip, Brayden Webley (17) and Xan McNutt (16) had the opportunity to train with Me-OSC Rosenhöhe and Erlensee, while Brayden also trained with Hanauer's First Team and the SV Wehen Wiesbaden U19s. The experience provided valuable exposure to different training environments and player development models.
Reflecting on the trip, Norbert shared:
"I'm grateful for an incredible and productive trip to Germany focused on learning, player development, and building long-term relationships."
Norbert also expressed his appreciation to those who helped make the experience possible:
"A huge thank you to Leon for the outstanding accommodations and for sharing a player-development vision that aligns with what we're building at NOW Soccer Academy. Thank you as well to Armin, Chris, Frank, and the staff at SV Wehen Wiesbaden for hosting us."
The academy remains committed to creating opportunities for players to grow both on and off the field through experiences like these.
"We were fortunate to have two NOW players attend. I'm excited to bring these lessons home and continue building alternative player pathways for our athletes."
