Overview

Soccer history comes alive on this once-in-a-lifetime trip to Scotland and England, where soccer dates back to 1872. Players will learn from professionals in exclusive coaching clinics, compete against local teams, and attend a professional soccer match. They’ll get private tours of Celtic Park and Old Trafford and grow their soccer knowledge at the Manchester United Museum and Manchester United Megastore. They’ll explore the Scottish cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow, then Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park. In England, they’ll wander the maritime city of Liverpool—home of the Beatles.
