generation adidas international was really hatched over 30 years ago when, at the age of fifteen, Billy Hartman was one of a few American soccer players to have the unique opportunity to train at an English Premier League professional youth academy. Training during the summer of 1980 at Aston Villa FC Academy was a defining moment in not only his development as a soccer player, but also his growth as a person. That summer was truly an experience of a lifetime and the true catalyst to what is now the “adidas International Training Program”. At that time, he knew that with the partnership and commitment of adidas America to grassroots soccer we could become a leader in the world of international youth development. A decade later, that original vision has proven to be true – there is an insatiable desire in the players, coaches and parents of America to expose their children to the best that our sport has to offer and who share our passion for the beautiful game. Generation adidas international is a soccer company run by soccer people. Advised by some of the world’s top academy directors, our expertise in soccer and travel logistics will ensure a smooth trip.
