UNCOVERED<br />
Leading light<br />
The three visitors are both curious and intrigued as they wander around the<br />
training complex. Tablet computers in hand, they take photos and eagerly<br />
make notes; nothing escapes their attention on this rainy day at Varkenoord,<br />
home of the Feyenoord Academy in Rotterdam.<br />
The centre’s fame for outstanding youth work extends far beyond the<br />
Nether lands’ borders. The visitors turn out to be coaches from MLS, who have<br />

years now, so what is it that makes it so special? Our staff writer Sarah Steiner<br />
went along to find out. Her report starts on page 6. Å<br />
