It is being organised by Deniliquin based Strike Force Soccer Academy in partnership with Pro Soccer Australia.
A camp will be held at the Baranduda Fields Sporting Complex, near Wodonga, from November 13 to 15 and is open to boys and girls aged 12 to 16.
The three-day camp is designed to provide regional players with access to high-level coaching and talent identification opportunities typically only available in larger metropolitan centres.
Organiser Diego Sztejman, of Deniliquin, said the camp aims to create meaningful pathways for regional footballers.
"This project has come together through Pro Soccer Australia working alongside Strike Force Soccer Academy.
“We hope to have a strong group of regional players take part and make the most of the opportunity," he said.
Players will train under Levante UD's international development staff, receive individual feedback on their performance and have the opportunity to showcase their skills in front of professional coaches from one of Spain's recognised football clubs.
"The whole intent of the camp is to give players the chance to showcase their abilities and be seen by Levante UD coaches.
“For many regional players, opportunities like this simply don't come around very often," Sztejman said.
The camp will start with registration, uniform collection and a presentation from Levante UD staff, before moving into on-field sessions and assessments.
All registered participants will receive a full playing kit including shirt, shorts and socks.
A major drawcard of the program is the opportunity to secure one of three scholarships to attend a two-week assessment and training camp with Levante UD in Spain.
Scholarships will be awarded across the under-14 and under-16 age groups, with one scholarship specifically reserved for a female player.
Players will also be considered for a regional representative pathway that could include future training and playing opportunities in Spain.
With places limited and early bird registrations available for the first 30 participants, parents, players and clubs are being encouraged to register as soon as possible.
