Thanks a MILLION!

Dear Julie, and the amazing staff we had the privilege of meeting this week... Joy, Carly, Kimmie, Berly, Smo, Sophia, Susie, Stacey and Ian! I wanted to make sure you all knew what a great time my daughter, Camila Turati, had at your camp... she not only learned new soccer skills from the best soccer players in the "whole wide world", but she also got to see how wonderful role models you've each become, with unique skills and talent...

we wish you all great success in the future! It's been Camila's dream to meet you and Joy, and you helped me make her dream come true.. and for that, I am thankful!

And BONUS, Camila got to meet your great staff, and she was thrilled to learn that Kimmie, Berly and Stacey played in the same Club she plays in, the Blues!...

Frankly, there were a few times that I had to pinch myself, as I couldn't believe my eyes.. Julie Foudy is standing next to my daughter and teaching her soccer!
In no other sport have I seen athletes do so much for their fans. You ladies are an inspiration to the sport and to little girls everywhere! Of course, we took lots of photos, and we put together a scrapbook in which Camila collected your autographs... She's been sleeping with the autographed soccer ball, the camp t-shirt, and her treasured scrapbook already has a special place in her heart!

Thanks for making her dreams come true!

Hello,

Thank you for the follow-up email we received today with a great picture!

Last weeks camp was definitely the highlight of the summer for our daughter. For her it is always great to be playing soccer but to be learning from Julie Foudy, Joy Fawcett, Kim Pickup, Ronnie Fair, Sophia Perez and Megan Kakadelas (our neighbor!) it was AMAZING! Our daughter, Lauren, plays defense and was so excited to have Joy Fawcett as one of her team coaches!

Your camp is incredibly well organized and professional. Of course, the children love being taught by such a talented group of female athletes and realize how valuable it is to be exposed to the techniques and tactics that brought all of you such success at the highest levels of the game, the Olympics, the World Cups and Collegiate level. Secondly, the incredible professional and respectful way that your staff treated the girls and their families is not overlooked. Last, but certainly not least, we appreciate the reminder to the girls to work hard, practice, practice, practice and to keep their mind on their personal goals is a philosophy that we, as parents, try and teach our girls but to hear it from JULIE FOUDY is very memorable.

THANK YOU!

We cannot wait to hear about next year’s camps!
Sincerely,

Kellie Cassell

Thanks,

Julie, Ian & Staff:

Thanks for a great 4 days of camp last week at the RSF Sports Fields. Stella took from your camp much more than just an increased knowledge of soccer. She left camp with renewed enthusiasm for and appreciation of the game and the commitment and discipline it takes to become a better player and person. Her group coaches Ronnie and Megan were supportive and knowledgeable and fostered strong team identity and unity despite the short time they had to work with the girls. Julie’s passion for soccer is contagious. We look forward to your schedule for 2006, particularly the leadership program.

Thanks again.

Many Thanks,

I just wanted to thank everyone from the July 24 Mission Viejo camp. What a wonderful week my daughter had.

I can't tell you how impressed I was with everyone and everything you did with the girls. My daughter Sarah Sassen was on cloud nine and still is !!!!! She can't wait until next summer and neither can I.What an experience for the both of us. I was so impressed watching the way all of the staff treated the girls and the skills they learned. I was very happy to hear all of you stress how important an education is as well .

We can't wait to hear about next summer. Do you have a winter camp???

Many thanks again for a memory Sarah will always have,

Karen Sassen

Thank You for Giving My Daughter An Awesome Experience,

Dear Staff of Julie Foudy Soccer Camp,

My daughter, Alexis Williams attended your Sonoma Soccer Camp. I wanted To say Thank you to the staff on the field and behind the scenes. I will start out by saying we are not a “soccer” family. Soccer is something my daughter fell in love with at 6 years old, and now at 14 years old she still loves the smell of fresh cut grass and the feeling she gets just before a game starts. This is her love, and her dad and I love her so we support her 100% (thou dad still doesn’t understand all the rules). We were amazed how the Sonoma Soccer Camp has taken Alexis’ love for the sport to another level. Her game improved substantially from the camp (she made a “header” goal in the first game of the season because of what she learned at the camp); but more importantly she was able to connect with other females who loved the game just as much as she. Alexis has not stop talking about the camp leaders and how amazing each one of them is - she truly views the leaders as role models - people she aspires to be like when she moves through her life.

As parents of a teenage girl we could not be more pleased that she had this opportunity to identify with such amazing role models. During such a pivotal time in her life, this opportunity was a blessing.

Alexis is already talking about going to the one week camp next year on The West Coast, and her Dad and I are looking forward to sending her to Another amazing camp.

Thank you so very much!
Warmest

Dear Julie,

I am sorry this is a little late, but I figured it was better late than never! I just wanted to thank you so much for the incredible 4 days of camp that you provided for Jordan. Her experience in that little time was incredible and did so much for her self-esteem. You made her feel like the incredible player that I think she is. Hopefully now she will believe in herself -I mean if you have confidence in her what more does she need, right? Anyway, she enjoyed the camp tremendously, as did I watching her. It was the best soccer I have seen her play in a while!….

…….In closing, I just want to thank you and your staff for an experience that Jordan (and her mom and dad) will probably never forget! Thanks to Ian for giving you the support that you need to host such an incredible event! I'm sure he realizes the impact that you have on young girls like Jordan!

Take care, and best of luck to you in the olympics! We will be watching every minute!!

Sincerely,
Julie Marada

P.S. I almost forgot to thank you for the awesome prizes! Jordan has showed them off and soon they will be framed and displayed in her "soccer room"!

Dear Julie and staff,

Just a note to say thank you for a great week! My daughter, Natalie Werner had a wonderful time! Our motive for sending her was to feed the "little girl" in her that oohhhed and ahhhed at the thought of learning from and working out with so many of the female athletes that she has admired and watched over the years.

She is going into her fourth season of club ball and at just 11years old, our goal for her is to keep the passion and never lose the element of fun that has made these first years such a joy for her. As the girls are getting older and much more competitive, I find it even more necessary to find ways to keep it fun and feed the passion that drives my daughter to work so hard towards her dreams. Thank you for sharing your love and gift for the game with Natalie as well as so many other young girls.

Natalie was disappointed that she couldn't attend Sunday's WUSA game due to playing in the Pegasus Cup in San Diego but I am happy to say that her So Cal Blues U11 (soon to be U12) team took the championship and Natalie had one of her best games ever on Sunday. I know that she left your camp inspired and fired up to give her best!

Thanks again to all of the staff! You ran a great camp that worked on skills as well as feeding the little girl in all of us! We look forward to next year!

Sincerely,
Shawn Werner

Julie,

Your soccer camp was great for Allie and Maggie. I am glad we came from out of town so that I had a chance to watch the training all week long. I was truly amazed at the interest each of the instructors took in training the soccer players from ages 8 to 18. I think all of the students walked away pumped up by your love of soccer, but most of all pumped up by your love of the kids.

It was truly a special week for us. Please keep us on your email list as we may bring a van load of kids from Rome, Georgia next year…..

…Keep us on your email list and you definitely have a career in motivational speaking after soccer.

We will keep you and your team mates in our thoughts and prayers as you head to the Olympics. Good Luck and Thanks Again, GO USA & Soccerettes.

Hi,

My daughter Natalie Brock was at the soccer camp in Chula Vista and absolutely loved it. So did I. I am the coach of Natalie's team and I learned a tremendous amount during the week. I tried a few of the drills today and they worked out great. I am hoping to inspire some of the girls to attend the camp with Natalie and I next year. Thank you for your consideration.

Julie and team:

Just wanted to send you a quick email and let you know how much fun Sam Li and Anya Koren had while at your camp. We traveled from San Jose to attend and both the Girls absolutely loved being there and have asked if they could go again next year, but this time bring their team. Your words to the girls were inspirational and I know that my daughter has come home almost every night and practiced. I hope you consider doing a Northern California camp someday! Best of luck to you and the Olympic Team.

Dear Julie:

I cannot begin to thank you, Joy, Sissi, and your complete staff/coaches that put on such a wonderful camp this week. You women are amazing and have everything in perspective. It is a true blessing when your daughter is so excited about working out with her role model(s) AND meeting every expectation she had for them. My daughter truly enjoyed this week and is eager to get started tomorrow practicing with her new "best friend." She can't seem to find the energy to do it today .. wonder why :-) She is looking forward to next year and has shared her enthusiasm with her other teammates at training last night. It seems your camp next year will have an influx from our club.

Again .. I send you, Joy, Sissi and your staff my heartfelt thanks!

Sincerely,
Cathy White
