Dear Parents and Players,
We are excited to announce a new partnership between New York State West Youth Soccer Association and Invictus Soccer Tours, creating an incredible international soccer opportunity for players and families across New York State.
Through this partnership, individual players and teammates from clubs and organizations throughout New York state will have the opportunity to come together, represent New York State, and immerse themselves in the unique soccer culture and competitive environment of England – which is the birthplace of modern soccer!
For young players who are passionate about soccer and want to challenge themselves at a higher level, few experiences compare to stepping outside their familiar environment and testing themselves against talented players from another country.

Importantly, parents and family members can experience that journey alongside the players— attending training sessions and matches and watching firsthand as their player competes, develops, and demonstrates what they are capable of in an international environment.

It is an opportunity for players to step outside the familiar routine and demonstrate their technical ability, competitiveness, character, work ethic, and understanding of the game in a completely different soccer setting.
Compete Against Talented English Players

Players will be challenged to adapt to different styles and speeds of play, physical demands, and tactical approaches to the game, providing an invaluable opportunity to test themselves against international competition.

Parents — Experience the Journey Alongside Your Child
Imagine standing on the sidelines in England and watching your son or daughter compete against talented English players, adapt to a different style of soccer, and demonstrate what they are capable of in front of academy coaches.
For a soccer parent, this is a special opportunity to experience an important part of your child’s soccer journey firsthand while sharing moments and creating memories together that can last a lifetime.
Experience the Heart of English Soccer
Immerse yourself in the incredible soccer culture of Northern England and visit areas home to some of the biggest and most historic football clubs in the world, including Manchester City FC, Manchester United FC, and Liverpool FC.
Discover England Beyond the Soccer Pitch
Experience the history, culture, architecture, traditions, and character of England’s historic cities and towns, creating memories and experiences that extend far beyond the game itself.
MORE THAN A SOCCER TOUR
For ambitious young players, the England tour experience provides an opportunity to adapt, compete, learn, and demonstrate their ability in an environment different from their own.
Experiences like these can provide confidence, perspective, motivation, and a greater understanding of what higher levels of the game demand.
Combine that with Premier League soccer, professional academy environments and educational opportunities, international competition, iconic clubs and stadiums, and the history and culture of England experienced together as a family, and this becomes much more than a traditional soccer tour.
It is an opportunity for players to challenge themselves, broaden their understanding of the game, and return home inspired to take the next steps in their development.
For families, it is an opportunity to share an extraordinary experience and create memories that can last a lifetime.
We look forward to welcoming players and families from across New York State for what promises to be an extraordinary international soccer and family experience in England.
Thanks,
New York State West Youth Soccer Association in partnership with Invictus Soccer Tours
