So what are CRYSC members saying about their England trip in 2025?
“Our family had a beyond spectacular experience with this trip. It was so fun to travel with other families and observe the players come together as a team both on and off the field. The balance of sightseeing and football (soccer) was perfect, and the tour staff and coaches were warm, welcoming, supportive, and entertaining! We will surely talk about this week of adventures for years to come.”
– Participating Parent
“What an amazing experience! Having the opportunity to train and play soccer in a foreign country is an opportunity of a lifetime!”
– Participating Player
“We’ve traveled abroad before, and there are only so many museums and cultural sites that a boy can take! This tour really helped provide a balance of the historical (museums, castles, cathedrals, etc.) and modern (soccer/football!).”
– Participating Parent
“I thought the trip was fantastic. The games and stadium tour were one of a kind. A great way for our players to gain perspective from another country and culture, while having the familiarity of a soccer setting.”
– Participating CRYSC Staff Coach
