Next up in this series is our Academy Manager, Nick Perugini! Nick has been with VanU for well over a decade and is now in his second season overseeing our Academy program.

“I believe our Academy provides a great resource for our players and coaches to develop. For players; they get a chance to work on their touches, and get a high volume of contact time on the ball in both our Mondays development academy and Friday night shooting and finishing academy sessions. During my time working with the academy, we have been able to work with younger coaches in our club, giving them the ability to work with some of our more senior staff. It has been a great tool to open up a pathway for our own alumni and current youth players to give back to the VanU community they themselves grew up playing in.” – Nick Perugini
