How long have you been a part of Prior Lake Soccer Club? What attracted you to the club?
My family has been part of Prior Lake Soccer Club for the last three years. And what attracted us to the club at first was the way the schedule fit in for our young family and how we were able to get to practices and games that were conveniently scheduled. And, also, I loved how organized everything was. You could tell from the website to our first meeting with the leadership group that everything would be clear, concise, and ran very well.
What has been your favorite experience at Prior Lake Soccer Club?
As a parent, my favorite experience at Prior Lake Soccer Club has been the youth level and the amount of buy-in that they're able to get from the kids. It starts with Coach Garth, and not only does he teach them a great set of fundamentals at a young age, but he also creates a great culture. And he learns their name, and he provides just a great smiling face to welcome them to soccer. And through that, he helps them build confidence by being part of a community and feeling like they're part of a larger group.
How has Prior Lake Club impacted your son/daughter? Share an example.
Prior League Soccer Club has had a very positive impact on my son, Theo. I think the number one impact it's had is that it's really helped him grow his resilience, whether that means learning a new physical skill or overcoming the mental objections that happen when you're trying something that you're likely to fail at for the first time. We've seen his growth not only grow on the soccer field in those respects but also in the classroom. Prior Lake Soccer Club has really helped my son, Theo, accomplish his goals and to do so in a world where failure will happen from time to time.
What do you like about the facilities used by Prior Lake Soccer Club?
Whether it be the practice fields, the game fields, or the winner training at Savage Dome, Prior Lake Soccer does a great job of ensuring that not only do the fields look good, but they also play good and they're safe for all of our players.
Would you recommend Prior Lake Soccer Club to a friend or colleague? Why?
I recommend Prior Lake Soccer Club because it's a great place for all young athletes. Whether you're just getting into soccer and you're looking for a less intensive rec program or if you're somebody who feels that your son or daughter is ready for the step up to play club, I felt prior league soccer did a great job of offering a number of different programs for all skill levels.
