Week of Feyenoord experiences for Tennessee SC and RISE SC

Tennessee SC and RISE SC both got the opportunity to visit the Feyenoord Academy this past week, to create new and educational experiences. Tennessee SC visited Rotterdam with their top U11 players, while RISE SC brought their U15 team to gain this meaningful experience. Both teams had an intensive program planned for them that included training sessions led by Feyenoord International Development Coaches, friendly matches against Dutch opponents and trips to various cities and professional football matches.

With Tennessee SC visiting the Feyenoord Academy for the fifth time since 2017, a long-lasting connection between both clubs has been continued, by creating a unique learning experience for the players from the United States. Feyenoord Academy coaches Dencho Narcisio and Karim Saïdi represented the Feyenoord Academy this week to give the players training sessions that are based on the Feyenoord football vision. ‘This was our 5th team trip and by far one of the best’, starts Mike Otto, Boys Academy Director at Tennessee SC. ‘The training sessions provided by coaches Dencho and Karim were first class and our young players reacted very well. Our experience was punctuated by our first ever result against a Feyenoord Academy team and three Feyenoord first team victories during the week, including a wonderful victory over Ajax.’
