In addition, I am thankful to host families that you arrange for us."

"All the support provided by the McHenry County Youth Sports Association is incredible, just like the perfect and constant communication, which helps us a lot with planning and logistics. It is truly a privilege to play with so many teams from US and also other international teams.The fields are always well maintained, the umpires are very professional, the staff extremely helpful and the general organization is impeccable. In our case, this gratitude goes far beyond the games, since the homestay program provides an incredible opportunity for our boys. It's certainly a huge cultural experience that creates memories and friends for life."
