How long have you been a part of Maplebrook Soccer Club? What attracted you to the club?


We've been part of the program for about five years now. My son started out in the rec program and is now in the U11 competitive team. And we really love the aspect that Maplebrook Soccer was local, and it was community-based. It was right near our home within five miles, which was amazing, so it was very convenient for a busy working mom like myself. I also love that it was nonprofit, and they really seemed to be engaged with the community. And I loved just the aspect of their coaching and their mission, and that's really what attracted me to the club in the first place.


What has been your favorite experience at Maplebrook Soccer Club?


Over the last five years, my favorite experience at this club has just been seeing my son grow as a player and as a little human. He started out with not, you know, having too much experience with soccer, but just loving the sport. And he's grown over the years into being just a super confident goalie, and he's kind of found his place within the organization and within his team. My son is very shy, and this has been something that he has been able to really exercise his, you know, another side of his personality. And I see the confidence coming out of him in every single game, and he doesn't shy away from the challenges that our coaches have given him. He's really leaned into, you know, finding a position that just, you know, really interests him. And the coaches, Kat and Coach Ben have just really helped him gain that confidence over the last few years as a goalie.

How long have you been a part of Maplebrook Soccer Club? What attracted you to the club?


We've been a part of the club for one year now. Just got done with the first year, with the fall, winter, and spring/summer season. What mainly attracted [us to Maplebrook] was the competition and the emphasis, on equal emphasis, on both the girls and the boys' program, as my daughter was in a previous club where there was not much emphasis on the girls' program. So that's what really brought us to Maplebrook.


What has been your favorite experience at Maplebrook Soccer Club?


Definitely favorite experience with the club has been seeing my daughter and her teammates really become great friends, and our team does a lot of activities together. Meeting the parents, kind of us working together to really raise and grow the girls together as a team in a club. That's, hands down, been the favorite experience, just the camaraderie amongst the girls and the parents as well.
