NE Cantolao FC is a direct-line South American program that aspires to help develop the best talent in NEPA and surrounding areas. Elite club players that exhibit an exceptional commitment and skill level may be invited overseas to train at professional academies. Â
The Cantolao Elite program is designed for players that have higher levels of commitment. Consequently, the program has much higher communication expectations of its players, and its players have higher expectations of their teammates. The required commitment level should be weighed carefully by both the player and his/her family prior to accepting an offer. For those willing to meet this commitment, the skills that will be developed will be among the highest in the nation. It is our expectation and belief that all players are committing to all games and all tournaments when accepting the offer into the Cantolao Elite Program. Â
Comprised of five boys and five girls teams (U-12, U-13, U-14, U-16, U-18), the players train a minimum of two or three times a week and play a maximum of two games under the supervision of our professional staff. The program is designed to give dedicated and talented players the training and experience needed to reach the highest levels of the game both nationally and internationally.

However, Elite players are expected to COMMUNICATE as early as possible (even before teams are formed). Game attendance should be communicated within a week to 10 days after schedules are released and any changes to attendance should be communicated ASAP. Players should prioritize soccer activities to the extent that tournaments are communicated in July for the upcoming year and every attempt should be made to support those planned events and make that commitment to the team.
Players should do everything possible to coordinate their activities in order to attend scheduled soccer training, classroom sessions, games, and tournaments. In instances of absences player should notify their coach with as much advanced notice as possible. Attendance concerns could affect playing time and/or participation in the Academy program depending on the circumstances and the consideration for the communication and working with the coach.
