2009 Tournament
"Please let me take this opportunity on behalf of all coaches, officials, players and parents of ASV Denmark to express our sincere thanks to all of you at the tournament for your hospitality and extreme help and kindness in all aspects of our stay. You are absolutely fabuluous. No matter what small request we had you handled it with the highest standards and thorough kindness. We were really satisfied with the participation in your tournament although we didn’t reach the semifinals. Once again - THANKS FOR EVERYTHING." [Morten Bach, ASV Denmark U12 Girls, Denmark]
2008 Tournament
"Great tournament....please accept our deepest gratitude and thanks for making our trip just an awesome experience. The girls have made lots of friends and we’re so happy with the experience. You made life easy for us organisers and the balance of sport, social and safety was just top notch. I hope to be able to bring back a team for another stab at a medal in a few years with the boys group!" [Stefan Fletcher, Gordon Head Pumas U14 Girls, Canada]
"I just want to thank you and all the staff who worked so hard to make the tournament an extremely enjoyable event, I believe for all who attended. I don’t think people realise how much effort and extremely hard work was put in, to make this tournament such a success. Thank you very much for a most enjoyable tournament, hopefully see you all next year with more teams coming from us!" [Peter Henry, East Kilbride U12 & U16 Girls, Scotland, UK]
"Just wanted to say a very big thank you from myself and all the boys. We had a fantastic trip and all the kids were quite upset that we had to leave and were already asking when we are coming back. Parents are already discussing the next trip. Thanks to all your team, we really felt at home in Liverpool and our boys were made to feel we were the reason the tournament was hosted. The boys will never forget this trip." [Themi Kartapanis, Randburg United U11 Boys, South Africa]
2007 Tournament
“Competition and friendship are two words that you will almost never find together when describing a soccer tournament. Yet, you were able to deliver just that”
“Very hard to find tournaments that deliver what they promise. Everything promised was delivered and much, much more.....”
“Our aim was to provide a learning and growing experience for the boys”, and thats exactly what happened....
