Alessandro Fraticelli '21 Recruiting Profile

I started playing soccer at the age of 5 in Civitavecchia Italy, my home town, with a local team that mainly played tournaments around Rome. Growing to the age of 8, I did my first tryout with A.S. Roma, unfortunately, the distances were pretty far, and I wasn't able to organize with their training schedules.  

At the age of 11, my family and I moved to the U.S. and it was hard for myself and my parents to find a competitive team, but ended up finding of the ODP program, where step by step I made into first: the state team (A), and then into the regional pool.

Unfortunately, we had to move back to Italy in 2017 and start my high school career there. There I got scouted into a professional team that currently plays in Serie C, called Viterbese Castrense, during my 2 years in Italy I also did multiple tryouts for different Serie A, and Serie B teams, such as Salernitana (accepted), Perugia (accepted), Genoa (accepted), Pescara, and Sassuolo, but decided with my family to pursue our dream in the U.S.  

As of now I play with my High School and scored 3 goals so far in my Junior season.

My aspirations for the future are to pursue my dream of playing soccer and also finding a school that can provide me a Business diploma. I'm very passionate about the sport and I work really hard to be as fit as possible for the upcoming games. I'm also well prepared in school with straight As and Bs.
