We had a great experience between soccer and culture! Great competition with good people.

Easy and affordable trip with nice accommodations. No issues at all.

Wonderful coaches, very organized.

We had an awesome experience! My son and I thoroughly enjoyed all the planned activities. The hotel was fantastic, and the meal restrictions were well accommodated. We had a blast exploring Milan and Lake Como with the metro pass provided, which also gave us the confidence to venture into Switzerland. The soccer training, games, and competitions were all excellent. We are already looking forward to doing it again. Thank you!
