If you are a coach, going for free, by all means go (lovely European summer getaway with a great price tag) else play in the nutmeg games this summer in New Britain. Same competitiveness, much cheaper for the players and parents.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post -

It's a nice and expensive trip for the kids. But don't go for the soccer. NCE teams play crappy local Swedish teams and generally win 5-0. It's not very competitive but the kids feel very good about themselves afterward.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

it was cancelled this year again. why are you causing trouble? they play inferior opponents out score teams 60 -1 and the kids and parents get to claim they are world champions. worth every penny.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
oh and JC didn't refund the families for the trip, they get to put the money toward other NCE programing.Comment

JC has very quickly ruined a decent supplemental program (and his own reputation) by going for $ (quantity over quality). Maybe he will now create an Elite NCE just to get gullible parents to part with more $.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Well worth it. For the coaches. Or maybe if your daughter is looking at a Swedish community college.Comment

I looked at it when my daughter was young. If you have money to spare it is a fun vacation trip with some soccer mixed in. But if the 5K is a stretch for your budget it certainly isn't anything that will further a kids soccer career.Comment

It's fun. Competition is varying. Don't expect to get any advantage in your kids career. It's a vacation with soccer involved. IMHO, I'd rather take my family to an all inclusive beach resort for the money and kick a ball on the beach with my kid.Comment

Contact SM from CFC United and SHU asst.He runs a great trip to Gothia Cup. Totally refunded parents because of the pandemic and his itinerary for the trip looked awesome and not 1 person that attended with him has ever complainedComment

What about all the PR that group of 12 year olds from NCE received nationally a couple years ago by winning their bracket. TV interviews, pod casts, etc.Comment
