The team will leave Los Angeles on June 20, 2005 and return on July 1. In Germany the student-athletes will stay at "Sportschule Schöneck" in Karlsruhe, one of Germany's finest soccer academies located above
Karlsruhe on the border of the Black Forest. Here the students will practice soccer with some of Germany's top youth soccer coaches and compete with German youth teams.
But there is going to be a lot more than soccer. The students will explore the state of Baden-Württemberg, plant trees in the Black Forest, visit Heidelberg and its medieval castle, relax in the luxurious spa of Baden-Baden and return home with broken hearts and unforgettable memories.
