We had a blast at WCU's Summer Camp! Across four weeks at The Fields at RFK, our Travel and Development Academy players - along with new friends - joined us for soccer fun in the sun! From leveling up skills to scoring golazos, campers had an action-packed week of fun and learning with Coaches Ossie, Delfo, Alexis, Amanda, and Tudor. We can’t wait to spend the next school break with campers continuing to grow their love for the game!
