How long have you been a part of CC United Soccer Club? What attracted you to the club?
I've been part of CC United since my family and I moved here about five and a half years ago. What attracted me to the club was, obviously, its location, but, I think that it is not just community-based, but it's community-supported. So one of the great things about CCU is it mixes expertise from soccer professionals with parents and with former participants giving you a 360-degree look and not just what soccer is, but also what it can do for you and how it can help you in your life.
What has been your favorite experience at CC United Soccer Club?
Obviously, the new uniforms. No. But seriously, Jonathan Tudor. K? I'm gonna I'm gonna say it. I think he embodies exactly what CCU is all about. It's about the kids. It's about their experience, and it's about doing what's right for them regardless of what anybody else thinks. Keeping kids the center of every decision that's made is part of what makes CC United extremely unique and special.
How has CC United Club impacted your son/daughter? Share an example.
So CC United has really, first of all, given my daughters lifelong friends. I know it has nothing to do with soccer, but it really has everything to do with soccer. The second thing that I love about it is for the first time in their lives, it really gave them, an area to practice adversity. So they have to deal with teammates. They have to deal with pressure situations. They have to deal with scheduling, and they have to show up for their team. And that's what life's all about. It's about how you can improve, but more importantly, how you make other people better. And CC United really focuses on the girls. It really focuses on the players and gives them the tools that they choose how to utilize.
I'd also say that the coaches are generally fantastic. Not just good coaches, but good leaders and people like Jonathan, people like Mike Hower, these are people that my daughters look up to, in addition to teachers and others in the community.
What do you like about the facilities used by CC United Soccer Club?
You know, facilities is not something I typically think about when I think about CC United, but it's true we do have fantastic facilities, whether it's over in, Dedham Park by the Victoria Rec Center or, McKnight or the Dome. Our facilities are on par with every other club in the area, and I would say, quite frankly, it's probably in the top quartile. One of the things I really appreciate is in general, it's mode. They're good lines. And, again, as a as a referee going all over the state, I think I like that we have a majority of natural surfaces, which, I think in the long run are best for the kids.
Would you recommend CC United Soccer Club to a friend or colleague? Why?
I love CC United. Probably mostly because of people like Jonathan, Andy, Erica Walsh, Mike Howard. I can go on and on, name all the coaches. CC United is an aggregate of all of our coaches, all of our parents, and all of our kids. We give kids the room. We give kids the freedom to develop how they wanna develop. It's not for everybody. But for a community based program, you can play at the NPL level or you could play at the rec level.
The bottom line is CC United is gonna focus on what's best for you and will give you your own experience, whether it's to go on play collegiately or whether it's just to have fun with your children. Hey. And they even have programs for people like me. So, thank you, CC United. In reality, you're my home away from home.
