Testimonials

It was a great experience for me after taking a 3 year hiatus from active coaching to work with Amos and help the Team with our first Gold Medal ever in Men's Soccer.  The guys came together in amazing fashion and after three weeks it seemed as if we had been together for much longer.  My son Graham and I feel that we have 19 more lifetime friends from this experience, not just from the Team, but also all the people we met from the overall organization.  Thanks to USCSFI for giving me yet another opportunity to do Maccabi Soccer.
