“We were really impressed with the skills our daughter learned after just one day of camp. The coaching staff were great with the kids and provided thoughtful coaching and guidance to each of them, while also having fun. We would love to see UK soccer here in Anchorage for more than just a week next summer!! We have provided this feedback to our CISC Rec Director as well.

Thanks again, and it was a pleasure to host two of the coaches as well. It was a wonderful cultural exchange experience for our family.”
