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

I believe my daughter started playing soccer when she was four, and she is now 17. We've been with Prior Lake Soccer Club since the first time she played soccer, so it's been many years. We were attracted to the Prior Lake Soccer Club because we live in Prior Lake, and that's where her friends and the people that we knew were going to be trying out soccer for the first time. So it made sense for us to go there.

What has been your favorite experience at Prior Lake Soccer Club?

It's actually really difficult to name my favorite experience at the club. I think I would have to say our most recent exciting experience was when [my daughter] Taylor's soccer team went to Colorado for the NPL Super League finals, and they won the championship game. It was just so fulfilling and exciting to watch them get on that field and have so much fun and watch all of their hard work come together and see a great success. The camaraderie they had on and off the field during the tournament just made everything we've done to this point worth it. It was awesome.

How has Prior Lake Club impacted your son/daughter? Share an example.

Being a part of this soccer club and this soccer team has impacted [my daughter] Taylor in an endless number of ways. Her coaches have always really worked to instill great character in their players, both on and off the field. And Taylor has grown immensely. Her confidence and her work ethic, and her perseverance. I could go on and on, but this club really invests in the kids more than just as soccer players, but as becoming independent and successful successful growing young kids as well.

What do you like about the facilities used by Prior Lake Soccer Club?

We are lucky in this community. We have a nice, giant park with several soccer fields for training in the summer, but then we also have access to our local dome for training in the winter. And having those facilities available to us makes all the difference, obviously, when trying to train throughout the year.

Would you recommend Prior Lake Soccer Club to a friend or colleague? Why?

I would absolutely recommend this soccer club to anybody who asks me for my thoughts or opinions on where to have their children play. This community has been very close and supportive, and fun to be with over the years that [my daughter] Taylor has been in soccer. It's just so neat to see the older players support the younger players. The younger players also support the older players. There are just so many reasons to play soccer in the community, and I feel so lucky to have been here so long. We've had other families from out of the area join our team, and they're always just so happy with being a part of the community that we have here. It's a great place to have your kids play soccer.
