“The technical moves & turns were awesome & helpful too. I appreciate the time you took to help me become a more valuable player in & out of the goal. I learned a whole new meaning of what soccer means on the field. Thank you!”
JoAnne Plaster, Camper, Minnesota
“I learned so much at your camp last year. I improved myself and as I finished my Senior year in Varsity soccer, I was named the MVP for my team and All-conference. It was the best year I have ever had as a goalie and I saw in myself a great deal of self improvement in my skills. For that I want to thank you for a great camp. By taking the goalies out of the group and focusing on our skills and strategies, I felt that I had been given the opportunity to truly challenge myself. The best news of all is that because of my increased knowledge and skills, I have been drafted by Lake Forest College to be their varsity goalie for the next four years and now have the opportunity of a life long dream—to play at the college level. Thank you. Your camp is terrific!”
Kristyne Operzedek, Former Camper & Goalkeeper for Division 3 Lake Forest College, Illinois

Martin was very professional, knowledgeable of the game, and great with the kids. We heard positive things about the week from many of the kids/parents attending with our son. We are sure that his experience will benefit him this year as it raised his soccer skills and his self-confidence in them. The boys soccer program at our school has benefited from the Eurotech® program, and the girls that attended this year also increased their skills - thanks once again!”

I aslo feel taht the coaches teaching skills are much better."

"I am looking to get Charles into a soccer "program/system" for the long term. I want him to be part of a program that will consistently raise the bar and give him national and international exposure. I want him to be part of a system that has top-level, professional coaches and plays the best competition-here and abroad. It sounds like yoru programs can provide this type of environment - long term, consistent and concerned development of the individual."
John J. Kazlauskas, Parent, Wisconsin
"Jim has been able to consistently find top notch coaches that can not only teach the game well but are able to reach the player on a personal level. This is a rare case in today’s "run them in, run them out" type of camp scene. The athletes leave with a better understanding of the game and just as important a new friend in the coach."
