“Our son Ian had an amazing time last week. He was tired and happy everyday. This week he is headed to another camp. Thank you for making the camps fun and exciting for the kiddos. This was his first experience with soccer and now wants to play this fall. His normal activities are ballet, tap dance, tennis, and swim team. We are glad that he shows interest in a team sport vs independent sports we also like that he is getting male coaching experiences. He needs guidance from positive influences. Have a great balance of the summer and keep an eye out for Ian next summer.” | |
"It was awesome! Super professional and logistically smooth. Lyle cant wait for next year. Thank you and the full coaching staff.” | |
"Thank you for an excellent camp. Austin had a great time, and it renewed his love for soccer. Last week he said he wished the camp would have been longer and this morning he said again, I wish I had soccer camp again this week. Thank you so much for all you did to make it such a successful experience.” | |
"Thank you so much for all of the training! Mikey really enjoyed himself and said he learned a lot. We just bought season tickets so he cant wait for games to start. Again thank you for all of the help with Mikey. He cant wait until next years camp!” | |
"Thank you to all of your coaches! My son, Giovanni, had a really great time!" | |
"My son, loved his experience with you! He’s still sore! He is more confident than ever because he played against the bigger guys some and reports having more and different approaches for many technical aspects. And the food was great. He did camp at Clemson last year and thinks yours was much better. " | |
"I attended the Gamecock Elite Residential camp last week, July 17th– July 20th and greatly enjoyed it. It was an incredible opportunity to stay in the dorms and use the facilities at the University of South Carolina. After this camp I feel more motivated than ever to work harder, so I can continue to reach my goals as I go into my junior year. Thank you for running a great camp and I look forward to seeing you next year. Good luck on your upcoming season and I look forward to attending one of your games." |

"I wanted to say thank you for such a great camp experience for my son. This was his first stay away camp experience and He absolutely loved it. He said that the coaching staff was amazing, professional, had expectations of players and he felt hard work and effort were a priority. At the same time, he states he felt the coaches were very supportive. He also said he felt he really had opportunities to work on skills and technical items that helped him for his upcoming season in a way that was practical. Thank you all for such a fantastic experience. " |

"I just wanted you to know that Justin has been to a few college soccer camps, even though he just finished 10 th grade, but he commented that he enjoyed you and your coaching, the most. He had a great time on Sunday. He’s got some developing to do over the next couple of years, but thank you for the attention paid him. I know that University of South Carolina is now his top pick and hope." |

“First, we are enamored with you and the first class staff you have assembled. The leadership, engagement and values demonstrated revealed a program a parent hopes to send his son can be a part of to grow as a person and an athlete. Our son loved getting to know Danny and Will in particular as he spent the most time with them. It is clear you believe the little things matter and translate to the big things. From instructing technique of fundamentals in the blazing sun to the whole camp (get low in your turn), to something that shouldn't even matter that much (the swag bag). Most other schools you're lucky to just get a t-shirt. You don't have to spend the extra money on a quality t-shirt, bag, and ball for the campers, but you do - and it shows your commitment to quality in the little things. You know the effect it has on kids to get a cool bag/shirt - it's special to them. Your team ran a great camp. Staggering check-in to make it easier (especially for the parents) was a huge improvement. You were front and center during check-in (most head coaches are not), and everything ran smoothly. The opportunity to stay in the honors dorm was another incentive for doing this residential camp. You had a committed training staff continuously on-site, that doesn't always happen either. Overall, not having been there before, the quality of all the facilities well exceeded our expectations. It was a great few days for us, a camp experience better than we have had anywhere else - We appreciate all the effort put in by you and your team.” |

“I just wanted to touch base and say the ID camp was great. It was the most organized and well run of all the camps I have been to this summer. It was a pleasure meeting you and I hope to have the opportunity to work with you in the future.” |
