Spain Rush-SPF is dedicated to assisting players from around the world in achieving their dream of a professional soccer career. Our academy supports players in enhancing both their soccer skills and mental fortitude.


Adrianno Pizzo, hailing from North Carolina, reached out to SPF with a clear goal: to elevate his soccer capabilities. Choosing a comprehensive one-and-a-half-year program, he focused particularly on his tactical skills by immersing himself in the Spanish soccer environment.


Adrianno's professional journey began with Huracan Valencia, one of the formidable teams in the Spanish minor leagues. The initial months were crucial for him to blend his existing skills with the new techniques acquired at SPF, navigating through this adaptation period to forge his unique playing style. Mornings at SPF were complemented by afternoons with Huracan, allowing Adrianno to seamlessly integrate his learning into practical gameplay.


Progressing from Huracan Valencia, Adrianno spent the latter half of his program with Xirivella CF, where he became a pivotal player, helping the team finish the season strongly. He continued his dual training schedule, honing his skills under the guidance of SPF's coaching staff and the club's team environment.


After completing his stint in Spain, Adrianno returned to North Carolina and signed with Bragg FC, a semi-professional team in the United Premier Soccer League. His training at SPF significantly enhanced his speed, intensive skills, and his mastery in long-lateral passes and combination plays.


Currently recovering from hand surgery, Adrianno is eagerly anticipated to rejoin his team later this week.
