Samba Brazil Tour for Teams
|
|
|
|
We are now accepting registrations from teams to participate in the Samba Tour 2010.
Overview:
Based on our years of experience, we combined our knowledge with opinions and suggestions of
parents, team managers and club representatives and created the Samba Tour. The Samba Tour,
our most popular and chosen tour, allows teams to get the best out of Brazilian soccer and the
country itself. Samba tour combines intensive trainings with sightseeing trips, tournament, and
cultural aspect of Brazil. Through our long-term partnership with Fluminense FC, Division 1 club in
Rio de Janeiro, we give a chance to international players to experience on their own how Brazilian
youngsters are developed into professional players. International players train with the
Fluminense FC players, participate in scrimmages, friendlies, and tournament. Participating players
are combined with Fluminense players and are trained by experienced coaches, who often are
national youth team coaches of Brazil as well. Our program allows players to train with the real
Fluminense FC club, not with 'Fluminense Academies' like our competitors do since we want to give
international players a real club experience. This way, our program is incomparable since
participating players are exposed to high level club soccer in Brazil and experience the daily routine
that Brazilian future soccer stars go through. Players benefit from this program by gaining
confidence, self-esteem, unforgettable memory, and cultural experience of which they will be proud
of for the rest of their lives. Youth clubs from the United States., such as Bethesda Soccer Club
from MD, Montgomery Soccer Club from MD, or Youths Soccer Center from PA have participated in
our team tour and are among our many happy customers.
Dates
The 11- day tour has preset dates for August 1 - 11, 2010. Teams wishing to customize their tour
or participate in different days, should visit Brazil Team Tour to build their own tour. To view

Supervision:
When we organize any tour, safe environment is our top priority. Teams will be accommodated at
Fluminense FC club facilities, which are all gated and supervised 24 hours. Teams will be personally
supervised and guided by Brazilian Soccer Academy staff, who is very well familiar with soccer in
Brazil and the U.S. To learn more about Fluminense and its facilities, please go to Fluminense FC.
Highlights of the Samba Tour:
The program allows players to explore the beauty and atmosphere of Rio de Janeiro in 2 unique
trips that are included in the tour.
Sightseeing trip to Corcovado - It is impossible to conceive a trip to Brazil without visiting one of
the 7 Wonders of the Modern World, the statute of Christ the Redeemer, located at the top of
Corcovado Hill. It has become a symbol of the city and of the warmth of the Brazilian people, who
receive visitors with open arms. Some of the best views of Rio de Janeiro can be spotted from the
top of Corcovado. After admiring the beauty of the city, players will experience a little bit of
Brazilian cuisine and culture. They will be taking to a lunch at Brazilian Steakhouse at Copacabana

taste of Brazil. Large pieces of marinated, slow roasted cuts of meat are prepared in the Brazilian
tradition going back centuries. After the lunch, players will explore the beaches in Rio. They will
walk along the famous Copacabana boardwalk and spend the rest of the afternoon enjoying the
beach and playing beach soccer on Ipanema beach.
