Overview
In August 2013, PSC Iowa signed a formal partnership agreement with the Italian professional soccer club U.C. Sampdoria. The objective of the partnership between PSC and Sampdoria is to integrate PSC with Sampdoria’s Youth Academy (Settore Giovanile). This will be accomplished by implementing Sampdoria’s player development philosophies and methods throughout PSC and providing opportunities for PSC players and coaches to work directly with Sampdoria’s Academy coaches in both the United States and Italy. Additionally, the agreement includes a player identification program which will provide PSC players a chance to move on and earn a spot to play with Sampdoria’s Academy in Genoa.
