ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (March 19, 2019) — In partnership with England’s Norwich City FC, the Tampa Bay Rowdies are giving the best youth soccer players from the Tampa Bay region and beyond a once-in-a-lifetime chance to train alongside professionals and live their ‘Yellow and Green Dream.’

The Yellow and Green Dream contest will see the creation of a new soccer camp in Tampa Bay for players aged 15 to 19. The first camp is scheduled to take place in July of this year at the Waters Avenue Complex (8108 Benjamin Road) in Tampa.

Players in the camp will work under the direction of senior members of both the Rowdies and Norwich City FC soccer staff, including NCFC legend Grant Holt, over the course of one week. The camp will end with an up-close look at the Rowdies in action during their match against Saint Louis FC on July 20.

The best prospects from the first camp will be invited back for a second camp in Tampa Bay in November. The best player from the second camp will be sent with a guardian on an unforgettable trip to England for a seven-day professional Academy experience with Norwich City FC. That player will also spend two weeks in camp with the Rowdies next preseason.

Tampa Bay Rowdies season ticket holders will be able to purchase their spot in the Yellow and Green Dream camp starting March 19 before registration opens to the general public March 21. The camp costs $300 at the time of registration or $325 over three payments.

Registration includes:

• Five-day camp with full timetable
• Personalized uniform created for the soccer camp (1 x jersey, shorts, socks)
• Daily food & drink
• Complimentary ticket to watch Tampa Bay Rowdies v Saint Louis FC on Saturday, July 20 (7:30 p.m. kickoff)
