St. Croix Soccer Club Testimonial Featuring Member Janel Surgenor
A member testimonial on her experiences with St. Croix Soccer Club, a soccer club in Minnesota.
How long have you been a part of St. Croix Soccer Club?
We’ve been a part of St. Croix for seven years. We were attracted to St. Croix because it was our local community club - it was close to home, and it was recommended by coaches from the local community rec program.
What has been a favorite experience at St. Croix Soccer Club?
Meeting parents, traveling with the different teams, and the coaches who have encouraged and nurtured the love that our three daughters have for the love of soccer.
How have the St. Croix Soccer Club coaches made an impact?
We have three daughters, our oldest joined when she was 13. The club encouraged her to take the referee course for soccer and she has been a soccer referee for the last couple of years. She found it a great learning experience to learn the game from the referee side and then now, our middle child who turned 13 about a year ago did the same thing, and she’s been referring. It’s been a good way for them to give back and to learn more about the game by being a referee.
What are your thoughts on the facilities used at St. Croix Soccer Club?
The fields used by St. Croix are close to our home and that is huge for us. To be able to make it to practices and games with three daughters in the club. During the winter, they practice out of the Stillwater Dome and that has been recently upgraded and it is a great facility to practice at during the winter.
Would you recommend St. Croix Soccer Club to a friend or colleague?
I would highly recommend St. Croix Soccer Club if you’re looking for a club for your son or daughter. The knowledge and enthusiasm that the St. Croix soccer coaches have been instrumental in the development of soccer for our daughters. St. Croix Soccer Club also creates a positive team culture where it’s been easy for our kids to make friends and be excited to go to practices and games. But the biggest reason that I would recommend St. Croix Soccer Club is because it has become a second home for our family.
