I would like to thank everyone at San Juan Soccer Club for their support throughout the years.  I look forward to continuing to elevate the level of soccer in the RAGE community and to empowering our amazing young women both on and off of the field.”

“We are thrilled to have Erin join RAGE,” said Jon Asmussen, President of the Board of Directors of Pleasanton RAGE. “Not only has Erin demonstrated success developing teams and coaches during her tenure at San Juan, she has embraced and led initiatives aligned with our mission to empower girls to reach their full potential through soccer, service, and leadership. RAGE will be forever grateful to Philippe for the players and families he has impacted so positively over two decades as our DoC. We look forward to Erin leading us into the future.”

My experience at the National Camp by Katie Strong

2019-02-13T09:25:04-08:00February 11th, 2019|

Overall, I really enjoyed this camp. Getting to know a lot of players from all over the country, learning their style of play, and mindsets was amazing. I feel the challenging part of the camp was learning that we are all different types of players and adapting to their styles had to be quick in order to succeed during the camp.

I really enjoyed the environment and it was a blast to get different points of view based on the training sessions and the way things were broken down and focused on. The coaching was amazing and so was their style of play. I feel in the short time of this camp, I have developed more physically and mentally. My wish is to one day be playing on the USWNT and represent my country, family, and club. This was definitely an unforgettable experience, I will always cherish and strive to be back again and again.
