"I had an amazing experience, and feel like we had the perfect mix of soccer and taking in the sites and culture that Scotland has to offer. We had two guides that we're passionate about the country and encouraged the players and adults to make the most out of the tour. The games were competitive and allowed our boys to see firsthand how the international game is played. Even if they don't realize it right away, this tour was a great learning experience for all of our boys.” –Marcus Barr
“The trip was a fantastic opportunity for the young girls. They were able to compete in international play and learn more about the game. Each day was well-planned and full of activities. I believe this trip would be beneficial to any young player looking to learn more about soccer and have a cultural experience.” –Teresa Rynier
“My overall experience was fantastic; the trip certainly exceeded all my expectations. The location, the people, the day trips, Celtic Park, the soccer we played, fish and chips…do I need to say more? Scotland is brilliant!” –Gary Ross
