Ever dreamed of playing soccer overseas? Having the opportunity to play in a country where soccer is a way of life? Experiencing soccer in a country where some of the best players to ever grace the game are from? Here at Joe Palumbo Soccer Academy we provide dedicated individuals such an opportunity.
At JPSA, we have established a reputation for the best training in this region. For over 50 years, Joe Palumbo has brought his native culture to America as a youth player, scholastic player, professional player, but most importantly, as a teacher and mentor to American kids who have benefited by his tutelage. Culture is the key word here. Joe was born and grew up in a small town in Southern Italy for the first 13 years of his life. It’s no secret that the game’s culture initiated in Europe and Joe is a product of European soccer culture. Having established here in Putnam Valley, NY has been a dream realized and over the years, JPSA has consistently created experience for children to grow in the game and emulate the culture that Joe brought to America. Our soccer tours are a prime example of Joe’s mission to not only create an academy that teaches the game, but to expose those who have the passion to excel to where he actually developed his soccer IQ! Joe began in the 80’s and 90’s to bring groups to England. In the past 10 years, JPSA has sponsored tours to Italy and just recently to Cristiano Ronaldo’s home: Portugal!
