In collaboration with Black&Red Pumas LLC, the Milan Academy Virginia was established in 2023 with the objective of offering players aged 5 to 18 the chance to partake in elite training to accompany their sporting and personal growth, with core values such as sporting spirit, respect and teamwork being transmitted in the process.

Official AC Milan Head Coach Davide Battistini, who resides in the area throughout the season, has the task of coordinating and training up the local staff on a daily basis. He ensures that the coaching being offered instills the values of sport and increases the skillset of every single player, with the Milan Method being implemented throughout.

Dario Scatena, Founder and CEO: "As an Italian and an AC Milan fan, I am very pleased with this collaboration that will bring the colors and values of AC Milan and Italian traditions to the American territory. I am very confident that the excellence and the AC Milan Method will bring great benefits, firstly for the young players in their personal growth, and then for American soccer. This is a family for me, and I look forward to both girls and boys feeling part of this great family and growing in every aspect with its values."
