As a parent, I went on the U.K. tour so that my children could experience soccer in another culture. However, I was tremendously impressed with the time and attention the EPL staff put into making the experience as much fun for the parents as it was for the players. The scrimmages, training sessions, and stadium tours were great, but I was equally impressed with the cultural excursions. THe outing were well planned out, and the lodgings surpassed my expectations. Doing the tour was a fantastic way to see the U.K. and Ireland, and looking back, I'm not sure if the parents or the players had more fun?!
