About
Development. Curriculum. Competition.
New Era Soccer Institute is a developmental soccer organization dedicated to providing special, high-quality, soccer-specific initiatives in a professional and modern overall atmosphere — for players who seek inspiring experiences outside of the standard soccer experience. We develop and improve our players through intense training using our own curriculum, while maintaining a friendly, fair, and creative environment that respects diversity, new ideas, and hard work.
NESI is the best training-focused soccer organization in the Hampton Roads area with over 300 participants yearly. NESI has produced over 20 current and future collegiate student-athletes, including Sebastian Gunbeyi (Columbia), Star White (Brown), Key White (UNC-Chapel Hill), Jared Greene (VCU), Idelys Vazquez (VCU), Kai Sizemore (Longwood), Cameron Brown (Brown), and Raegan Tate (ODU), among many others.
