CDA is happy to announce that the end of year tour to England,Spain and Scotland was a success.
The boys first travelled to Spain and were hosted to a excellent 5 star hotel based in Benicassim,just outside Valencia. On their first night they were treated to a classic encounter between two giant spanish teams, Valencia v Madrid.
The whole week was then spent training with Villareal and Valencia at their first class youth acadmies.
Following the great week in Spain the boys travelled to England and Scotland for a gruelling 10 day schedule inluding games against Manchester City, Stoke , Blackburn and Celtic. The group performed admirably and recorded a historic 3-0 victory over Stoke.
The boys also watched West Ham v Derby ,Manchester United v Crystal Palace and Everton v Stoke.
Please feel free to look at our Gallery and all our pics for the end of year tour.
Due to the success of the 2011 tour two players were invited back to Stoke FC for the remainder of the european season.
Aleks Visnic(middle) and Jake Colevski(right) were a integral part of the squads trip and did enough to impress the coaching staff at Stoke to be asked to be part of the 2011-12 youth squads.
CDA wish both players the best of luck in their once in a lifetime experience.
The Academy is currently in recess and will restart in April.
Additionally we are taking expressions of interest in our end of year tour. We are in the process of finalising the details of the tour but are looking to take up an offer to train with Real Madrid and Barcelona as well as the many clubs we visited in 2011 .
