Central Virginia United's partnership with Wolverhampton Wanderers (nicknamed the Wolves) is multi-faceted.  Wolves host an ID camp through CVU, in which players who attend the camp have the opportunity to be selected to the Wolves National Camp.  The Wolves National Camp features top players from other Wolves North American partners.  From the National Camp, players have the opportunity to be selected to attend a two-week trial at Wolverhampton in England.

CVU has also gained the opportunity to take teams abroad to experience soccer across the pond.  Every year, CVU will be taking the U15 Boys and Girls teams on an overseas trip to England.  The trip includes training with Wolves staff, playing against local competition, attending professional games, sightseeing, and more!
