Why Orlando, FL

There's talent here. There aren't enough doors.

Orlando, FL has no MLS club. It has a lot of talent: players in MLS NEXT and other competitive leagues, fighting for the next level.

We're here to find the best of them and take them to Portugal.

I know this road. In Ontario, there was one professional pathway. I took it: Toronto FC, then Team Canada and the U-17 World Cup squad.

My family went through this alone. My mission is to make the process better for families. It's never easy. It can be better.

About the Portugal trial

The camp gets your player evaluated. The trial in Portugal is a separate step for selected players, with its own cost. We share the details with selected players. You pay only after your player is selected. Once selected and paid, the fee is non-refundable.

Before you decide

Straight questions. Straight answers.

How many players go to Portugal?

SC Braga is looking to take 15 to 25 players back to Portugal for direct trials, Dec 28 to Jan 8. SC Braga decides who is selected.

When is the camp, and how long is it?

Nov 13 to 15, 2026, from 6 to 9 PM each day. That is 3 hours a day and 9 hours in total, in Orlando, FL.

Is this a recreational camp?

No. It's a professional direct trial selection camp, not a babysitting service or a recreational camp.

Who is it for?

Players ages U9 to U18, boys and girls, in competitive (not recreational) leagues, or with Europe as the goal. An EU passport is a bonus, not a requirement.

What is included with my pass?

9 hours of training over 3 days, in-person evaluation by SC Braga's head scout, eligibility for a direct trial in Portugal, a 1-on-1 call with Derick Sequeira and a Project Zero × SC Braga training top. Pass options are shown at checkout after you register.

Is the Portugal trial included in the pass?

No. It's a separate step for selected players, with its own cost. We share the details with selected players. Flights aren't included. You pay only after your player is selected, and the fee is non-refundable once you pay.

How does the top performer prize work?

It is awarded only if earned. The single best performer of the camp gets 1 full week at the direct trials in Portugal, paid for: training, accommodation and food. If no one earns it, it is not awarded.

Does attending guarantee a trial, an offer or a contract?

No. SC Braga decides who is selected for a trial and whether to make any offer. Results vary by player, and nothing here is a guarantee.

What if the head scout doesn't attend?

We'll offer a refund or a credit toward the next camp.

Do parents have to travel to Portugal?

No. Parents can come to see the city of Braga, but your player is in the club's hands. Parents aren't allowed at the club, players are treated like professional athletes, and minors are always with SC Braga staff.

15 to 25 players go to Portugal. Make your player one of them.
