If you would you like to make a comment or provide a testimonial, please send your feedback here.

Testimonial 1:
"Thanks for your help. I'm the parent of the broken leg kid! Everyone was terrific. When John Harkes and Brian Carroll took the time to encourage him, well, that was an honor."

Testimonial 2:
"Again, thank you so much for a wonderful camp experience. You are terrific with the kids. I was most impressed with your high level of expectation in their play, your firmness, yet at the same time, your great sense of humor and fun. They all were wearing smiles despite the hours and for several days, the heat. You made a real difference for Alex. Thank you."

Testimonial 3:
"I must thank you all for the great work that was done with these children during that long hot week of soccer training. I can only speak for my own child and simply say that she was very moved with all the players, but in particular with John Harkes.

She learned a great deal from all of them and has put all that they taught her into practice. We look forward to seeing you again next summer, we wish you best until then."

Testimonial 4:
"Dear Sir or Madam,

I was hoping you would forward this email to Kevin Payne. Our daughter just completed the week at the D.C. United sponsored Elite Youth Camp. The camp was coordinated by Greg Steininger and coached by John Harkes and a staff of his assistants.

The camp was a wonderful experience. The training was very well done and coordinated. The trainers were very knowledgeable, polite, and attentive to the children and in some cases young adults. The competition amongst the children in my 10-year old daughter's group was very high because of the skill level.

The D.C. United players were all a class act and came over and met with all the children at various times. I can't imagine any other professional athletes being this kind and thoughtful. At the end, the participants got to tour the RFK complex and I thought my youth dream might happen. But, my daughter and her two friends decided to stay on the fields because they thought the locker room would be too "stinky".

Bottom line, this camp was worth the cost and I would highly recommend it to other families. Please pass my compliments on to Greg, John and the entire staff. Thank you for taking the time to read this."

Testimonial 5:
"Hi John!

My son and I want to thank you for providing us with an excellent soccer camp last week.

My son played with peers who pushed him to improve his abilities, got helpful hints from camp instructors, met and worked with soccer professionals who also were able to show him that, even at the highest level, the game should be fun.

I really appreciate all that you are doing for the kids and for the future of US soccer with the Academy. We will see you next year."

Testimonial 6:
"John, you, the staff and first team were outstanding!

This was Troy's first professional academy and he is still telling all his friends he got an assist from John Harkes in a mini scrimmage. Frankly, I saw the assist and thought it could have been delivered a little sooner but hey were going to focus on the finish. Ha!

Great work and we look forward to another outstanding program this year."
