Thank you all for the opportunity to further detail the information which we have already
provided. These questions reflect the points that we had actually covered in our
presentation and that were addressed and provided in our documentation. Please refer to
the CD and Paper copy of the material we provided at the meeting.
In this documentation and CD material you will find the entire Milan Academy Program,
approach, philosophy and method of implementation of our initiatives
1. Does your organization have insurance? Please describe the policy you have.
Yes, It is Francis L. Dean and Associates. 307 West 7th Street, Suite 1720 Fort Worth,
Texas76102 Phone (800) 375-0552 Fax (817) 810-0477
Policy attached. Max. market coverage for events and sports activities to be activated in
each location. We have a general global policy and for every event location we make an
amendment.
2. Is you organization incorporated and in good standing with the State of Florida?
Please provide the corporate information.
In good standing. Articles of incorporation are attached. Stepstone Enterprises LLC is the
AC Milan event and camp/academy management company for the Americas.
3. Is your organization equipped to handle girls soccer separately with psychological
strategy geared towards girls?
Understanding the difference between both programs and their integration is
indispensable to the general club progress. Though different, boys and girls have equal
capacity and ability to develop their talent. Women may need a different mean for
measurement when it comes to physical and psychological pressures and demands. Basic
physical training will differ in a women's program as their biological, genetical and
environmental conditions will require diverse training and scientific approaches.
Muscular- skeletal injuries (structures), for example require focus on hips, knee joints and
ankles. Basic balance and stability exercises will differ in a men's and women's training
program. Physical and genetical differences in women, the recent participation of women
in competitive sports and other conditions are a reality that is particularly linked to the
psychological factors in women who play this sport.
Knowledgeable coaches will understand this difference and a well trained Technical
Director will also understand it, thus implementing a proper program that is different but
parallel. Our technical Directors are prepared for this task which includes team building
exercises, enhanced communication through team activities, confidence building through
validation, acknowledgement, accomplishments and abilities.
4. Can your organization provide us with at least 10 coaches and guarantee that they
are properly licensed to teach, have clear criminal backgrounds and legal US
immigration status. Please provide a list of coaches.
Yes we can. We wish to begin working with the coaches in the current program in order
not create a situation of trauma or shock to the players and their families, and conduct a
filtering process through which we will identify those individuals who are better
qualified, referenced and have clearance with local authorities. The program needs to part
from its current base. We will then add other professionals from our list and begin a
proper search.
Mirco Gubellini, Cristiano Scapolo, Alessandro Sbrizzo, Wilmar Montoya, Jose Soto,
Carlos Barone, Davide Corti, Mateus Manoel, Mauro Ardizzone, Roberto Tumiati,
Roberto Alessio,
5. Can each academy provide the cost per child for a recreational/intramural season
and a traveling/competitive season? Please provide a detailed budget proposal.
Attached. There are five different scenarios that we can discuss with the board in
order to decide what is best for the families, the Village board and for the program
management.
6. I would like to know each organizations fees they will be charging per participant,
length of season as it pertains to said fees. What each participant will be receiving
(uniforms, 1 or 2 coaches, balls, etc...)
Please see attached budget. Includes a complete uniform with an Adidas home and away
jersey, a training jersey and a gym bag. All children will have a ball to train with. There
will be one coach per every two teams and assistant coaches plus technical Director
7. Please discuss anticipated sponsorship funds and how these sponsorship funds
would be allocated (split) between the `managing' organization and the Village.
This is to be discussed in detail as the sponsorship funds would be reinvested into the
program for the bettering of infrastructure, participation in tournaments, coaches,
doctors, strength and conditioning coaches, psychologists and coaches education.
Split amounts would be negotiated according to the necessities of the Village and of
the program itself.
8. Please disclose any business or other financial relationship, directly or indirectly,
past or present, which you or your company/organization has with any Board
member of the Key Biscayne Athletic Club (KBAC), the Key Biscayne Youth
Athletic Advisory Board (KBYAAB), or any other representative or employee of
the Village of Key Biscayne. If no such relationship exists, please state "None".
None
9. Please provide reference letters from municipalities and organizations with whom
you have worked with over the past three years.

Vhom It May Concern:
Continental Cup international youth soccer tournament foresees boundless potential through its partnership with
Milan, the world's most successful football institution and the world's most decorated club. So much so that, in
9, the Continental Cup will be renamed the "AC Milan Continental Cup presented by Adidas." Through this
'nership, the Continental Cup and AC Milan will add additional elements to the tournament providing players and
:hes with the opportunity to be part of an elite soccer experience found no where else in the world!
AC Milan College Showcase Division" will provide an opportunity for youth players from around the world to
vcase their talents in front of the top college coaches from across the United States, thereby opening doors to
:ge scholarships. The Showcase will feature competitions among 12 teams: Four elite teams from the United
res, four AC Milan Academy teams, and four elite international teams.
partnership will also provide additional philanthropic opportunities such as the "Kick for Nick" program which
'ides soccer balls and programming to the youth soccer players of Iraq with the potential to extend the program
lditional war -torn countries.
Allan's partnership with the Continental Cup speaks volumes to the potential of this tournament. Our ability to
fostered this relationship with the world's most successful and decorated soccer institution is not only
.Imental for the Continental Cup, but also for the Greater Cleveland community. With AC Milan Academies in 14
'tries around the world, we anticipate tremendous international growth and appeal of the tournament and the city.

On Behalf of the AC Milan USA Academy,
Dear Sirs,
I would like to submit this letter of recommendation on behalf of the AC Milan USA
Soccer Academy. The Academy is one of the only authentic relationships that exists
between youth and professional soccer in this country and a truly world class professional
soccer club in Europe. Our philosophy is to create the same high standards of excellence
and competition here in the U.S. that has been built up over many decades at A.C. Milan.
Our Directors of Coaches are the direct link from the AC Milan professional team and the
MIlanello training ground. They ensure that the quality of the technical work is first rate
and they help us all instill a sense of the rich traditions that are a part of the championship
culture of AC Milan.
We feel that our model is proven to be one of the best for developing players. We also
feel that we are rapidly building a sense of loyalty, respect, and commitment to the AC
Milan colors and traditions. As a twenty year veteran of professional and youth soccer
here in the United States I know how much talk is made about developing players
without any real understanding of how players learn and absorb technique, tactics, and a
sense of devotion to the game played at a high level. Having played professionally in
Miami as the original member of the MLS franchise Miami Fusion I know that the
residents of South Florida are desperate for an environment that will bring first rate
soccer to players of all ages and ability. AC Milan Academies have the recreation and
competitive soccer programs and events to provide that opportunity.
Sincerely,

Dear Friends
We want to inform you all of the great initiatives of AC Milan in Mexico,
since 2004 we started with 2 Milan junior camps in Mexico City from that
time we made 7 Milan junior camps until 2007 in Cancun, Estado de Mexico
and Mexico City. This year we will have 5 Milan Junior Camps.
We have also had a very successful soccer school program in operation

The level of our players has significantly increased since the beginning
of the program and our club now identifies itself with the honor, pride
and professionalism of AC Milan

Wednesday, July 02, 2008
Dear Sir/Madame,
The Soccer Academy for Champions and their professional staff from Italy and
Canada have created a model that will provide hands-on training philosophy and
methods applying the AC Milan system of teaching and coaching. This
development is offered year round.
Our mission is "to foster an athletic environment that allows students -athletes to
experience the true game of soccer and which overtime develops them into elite
soccer player." The Soccer Academy for Champions is entering their third year of
AC Milan Soccer School programs and the growths of our programs have been a
success and our athletes have seen an immense difference in their skills and
personality.
The ultimate result is that young Canadian players are being prepared by
professional coaches with international experience for their next level of play.
This could include levels of Professional Clubs or Canadian/American
