Testimonials

My daughter joined MSUSC last fall. After playing for an elite club for a couple years, we knew she wasn’t getting the experience we thought we signed up for. She took the risk of stepping outside of her comfort zone and joined MSUSC, where she didn’t know the coaches or any of the players. We can’t stop saying it was one of the best decisions we have made as a family. In the past year her confidence has increased tremendously because her coaches provide a fun learning environment that is focused on good sportsmanship, skill development, and teamwork. The coaches selflessly give their time and extensive knowledge, not just on game and practice days, but every day. Coach Joe and Coach Kenny are both very responsive with any questions or concerns that we have, we truly appreciate their level of commitment and all they have done for our daughter and this club. Coach Kenny consistently sends a game recap which not only helps the players grow but educates the parents. We can’t say enough about how happy we are with the choice to go from a team that did very little for our daughter’s confidence and player development to MSUSC. The coaches and other girls on the team have had such a positive impact on our daughter in such a short amount of time.
