The Strikers U14 girls had a blast! It was a great trip.

Opposition to Play
Depending on the standard of your group, you could play school teams, local club teams or professional Academy teams. Meeting and playing soccer with the local English teams is a great opportunity to mix, make friends and experience exciting, high-tempo English football first hand.
I would just like to thank you a lot for the opportunity to play over there in England. And I would like to thank you for getting the scouts to come and watch me play and how you helped me out. I really appreciate it. Thank you so much for everything you did for me.

Wembley, Old Trafford and STAMFORD BRIDGE.
Whilst you are staying with us, we can arrange for you to visit some of the great cultural and sporting sites of England.
Enjoy a day in London and visit Buckingham Palace, the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben, take a cruise on the River Thames and ride the London Eye.
Experience the history and tradition of English castles and stately homes.
I can't say enough good things about the trip. We enjoyed our time in England and the girls loved the atmosphere that you and your staff created for us. The soccer/football matches you arranged for us to play were a hit and spending time with the opposing teams after the games was a nice touch. In fact, if the option was given to them, our girls would have agreed to stay longer and play more games! We all felt comfortable everywhere we visited. Seeing the professional matches was memorable and gave the girls perspective on how passionate and knowledgeable the British fan base is. In short, it was a fantastic experience for all of us. It is one we will never forget. Thanks again Tom for the effort required to manage the numerous logistical items/details and helping to make it such a big success for all.
We are very thankful.
