By AIMEE BARROWS editorial@mysuburbanlife.com ADDISON ddison resident Emma Paladino’s two sons are learning new skills at the Addison Youth Soccer Camp this summer, thanks to two international soccer stars known as the “Skill Twins,” who are making their first U.S. appearance at the camp. “My boys loved it,” she said of her sons, Giuseppe, 11, and Gianfranco, 9, who attended the camp from Aug. 3 through 7. “The Skill Twins worked one-on-one with them and helped them with the skills they needed to work on. They took time to explain things to the kids. They made the difference.” The Skill Twins are 19-yearolds Jakob and Josef El-Zein of Sweden. They teach footwork skills and freestyle tricks on their YouTube channel, which has more than six million views and more than one million subscribers. Frank DeAngelo, director of coaching for Addison Youth Soccer, wanted to bring the twins to the U.S. to teach important footwork skills.
