Our 2026 Varsity Trip will be to the Outer Banks, NC area (🏡 Magnolia Cay). We aim to provide the team with the opportunity to see some quality college soccer, build team camaraderie and compete against some quality opponents.
Preparation
In order to send the team off on the trip we’ll need a little bit of contribution by the families. While the boys should be self sufficient (at some level 😉), it’s nice to provide a little home cooking and comforts. View the ✍️ sign-up sheet here.
