Without exaggeration, this will be one of the highlights of my son’s entire life. I can’t recommend it highly enough! Training with such talented, kind, insightful coaches in the shadow of the Vatican is hard to describe with words! Beyond memorable.
Wonderful facilities, organized, and outgoing staff, that knows how to relate to young boys. Appropriate level of competition scheduled throughout the week with well officiated games against local clubs. Communication with Parents was succinct, prompt and informative. My son had a positive experience and he’s had many soccer camp stays in Italy in the past. Cultural immersion into Rome was fun to watch for a group of American boys who also had a purpose for being there.
Our son just spent the last two weeks at Rome City institute for their summer experience program. Dealing with Rome City Institute and Giorgio has been seamless. They are professional, organized, and inviting. Our son attended the summer experience for soccer, he was able to gather a full Italian experience, experiencing independent life as an athlete in Rome while incorporating local flavors and sites. Rome City Institute was incredible with guiding him and setting him up for success both on the field and off. He plans to attend Rome City next September and this was such a wonderful way for him to get his feet wet. The campus is quaint with very beautiful majestic buildings set in the courtyard atmosphere. The training facilities were top notch with amazing, incredibly talented technical and intense positive coaching. We are so happy our son was able to experience this incredible program, he’s even more excited to attend college here and continue his soccer ambitions. We highly recommend Rome City Institute.
My son had an amazing time at this soccer camp! Everything was incredibly well organized from day one — clear communication, a great atmosphere, and a truly welcoming environment. The coaches were highly skilled, passionate, and genuinely dedicated to helping each player improve. The perfect balance between technical training, teamwork, and fun. Beyond soccer skills, the program also emphasized values like discipline, respect, and collaboration — which we really appreciated.
Our son attending the two week summer experience camp in Rome for soccer and it was excellent! Very well organized (flawless), amazing coaches, chaperones and organizers – spacious accommodations and great food. In addition to daily practices at 9am and 5pm, they visited the beach, St. Peter’s basilica, the colosseum and more. He met kids from all over the world, made so many new friends and gained an unbelievable cultural experience. Some afternoons they attended presentations at the university which was very informative, absolutely beautiful campus. Highly recommend! #WeAreRomeCity #SummerExperience
