Trip to England

Taylor and Hunter Loyden had a amazing time in England. Both felt the training with the players at Everton was the very best part of the trip. they played 4 out of 5 days and underwent fitness and speed testing. Hunter played in the U14 group at Finch Farm which was an impressive facility; Taylor trained at a facility close to Goodison Park with the U16’s. Taylor did have the opportunity to train with the Everton Ladies.

The Loyden’s were able to see a premier game (West Brom vs Bolton) and on the final day were given a tour of Goodison Park where Taylor and Hunter were interviewed for the Everton website. We took a trip to Scotland to meet relatives and played soccer in front of a castle.

Experiencing the culture of Liverpool, meeting the players and coaches and seeing how important the game is to everyone living there made for an unforgettable week.
