"Overall, this program is excellent. Trainers seem to be very knowledgeable and dedicated. My son has really enjoyed this opportunity and hopes to have the opportunity to train again."

"Excellent program! My daughter truly enjoyed the environment, coaches, and training. She would be upset if I didn’t sign her up again and is sad to see the 4 weeks end. She’s already asking when she can come back."

"This was overall great, it gave him a chance to feel what it could be like to play for a team like the crew and crew 2 being on the field, it was inspiring! Thank you!"
