MIA Elite Development Trips in Summer
Each program, MIA SELECT and MIA SELECT NEXT, offers exclusive Elite Development Trips to either Japan or the mainland United States. These trips are reserved for SELECT & NEXT players, and participation is strictly limited to those selected within the program. The trips are scheduled to take place during the summer months, typically in June, July, or August.
While we understand that scheduling can vary among participants, we encourage all selected players to make every effort to commit to these trips. These Elite Development Trips represent the best opportunity for players to showcase their progress and for us to promote them to the next level of their soccer development.
All SELECT & NEXT players will have access to the trip details, but invitations will be extended only to those selected players.
