the best SOCCER gap YEAR
program in the world
THE GAP YEAR CONCEPT
" The recruiting process is a matter of timing. Coming to ETURE for a year of accelerated soccer development after your high school graduation will help you to increase your value as a prospect. The maturity, the elite training, the competition experience and the physical development will be key factors to earn the attention of top coaches.
As international recruitment grows every year and coaches look for players overseas, competing abroad becomes a great opportunity and experience for any ambitious young player looking for new challenges.
A gap year also has its benefits related to eligibility matters. The year you spend in Spain will not count against your eligibility if you just graduated from high school. This will expand your future opportunities and give you a better chance to make better decisions. "
HISTORY
" Our program was started in 2017-2018 with the recruiting of first and only client Arrio Rusnak, current player of NJIT men´s soccer.
After Arrio, more than 100 players have participated in our programs and our MEN´S SOCCER we have produced more than 65 NCAA players. With more than 5 years of experience, we have been able to create something special from the ground.
Nowadays, the best NCAA programs look at ETURE to build their roster both with national and international players. Even though we can´t guarantee a placement, that will be up to you to earn, we can guarantee that ETURE is the best place to get better while increasing your college exposure.
On a yearly basis we receive visits from coaches who are are constantly recruiting in Europe and in search of players. We do also organize the ETURE SHOWCASE, which more than 30 Division I schools approximately have attended in the last years.
Our success is your success. We are committed to continuously being the best gap year program in the world. To innovate and lead the market with the highest levels of passion, love and professionalism to what we do. At ETURE, you will not be just a player, you will be one of our TOROS.

"The end goal of the Gap-year program is a successful placement of the player back to the NCAA. Nonetheless, there is a bigger purpose. To experience growth both on and off the field, away from home, through the sport we love. To face adversity and to become not only a better player, but a better person."
TO FACE ADVERSITY
" ETURE is not a pay-to-play program. ETURE is a pay-to-grow program. Our players are challenged in a professional and supportive environment that allows them to face competitive adversity and growth along the process. Our players develop a stronger and winning mentality, positive mindset, and leadership.
If you commit to ETURE, you will have to earn your spot with the Spanish club, fight for your playing time on a weekly basis, and make contributions to our program. Our purpose is to shape you as a person and athlete, and get you ready not only for your college career, but for when you hang the boots. That takes challenge and adversity.
It is precisely the adversity and the challenge of playing in an European country what will increase your value as a player and, therefore, be recruited by the school of your choice. "
