Former Herd men’s soccer player to host ZEE Soccer Christmas Camp

Former Marshall University men’s soccer goalkeeper, Paulo Pita, will be hosting a two-day soccer camp with ZEE Goalkeeper Academy before leaving the state of West Virginia one final time.

The ZEE Goalkeeper Academy, owned by Rick Zucchi, is based in Port Orange, Florida. Zucchi gave Pita ownership to create a goalkeeper academy based in West Virginia. In 2016, Pita played in a summer league in Florida. While he was there, he coached a kid named Ian. Ian’s family and Pita have remained in contact. In 2018, Pita returned to Florida and Ian’s mother introduced Pita to Zucchi.

“He is a really nice guy and has been a huge impact throughout my soccer college career,” Pita said.
