What They Say
“Coach Ba’s France trip was something I’ll never forget. I had a great chance to play against pro French academy teams and it helped to understand where I need to improve. I wish it was longer and I would do this over and over again as long as my parents let me. Also it was so fun to do this with friends.”
– Ethan
In France, I had a blast, I saw the PSG stadium, rode on a train and was in the Champions League under 10 with my teammates. First of all in France, I went to PSG stadium with my family and team. It was as fancy as a king's castle. I spotted the locker rooms and the PSG trophies. I played in the Champions League under 10. I got to the 14th round! We went to the carnival close by and played bumper cars. It was so much fun. In conclusion, I had an awesome time at my tournament in France.
