We were up early on this cold and wet morning to tour the Iowa Soccer Complex before camp got underway. Rade, the goalkeeper coach, spoke to all of us inside the training facility. He talked about the staff, the training regimen, player expectations and the schedule. We toured the locker room, saw the fueling stations and the indoor practice fields.
After a quick breakfast/lunch, Allison checked into camp and was part of the team called Seattle Reign. She looked great in her Hawkeye gear!
There were 14 keepers working with the keeper coaches and then they split off into separate teams for scrimmages.
Allison loved the rostered goalkeepers and really learned so much from them.
It was such an impressive facility and a lot of great soccer over 2 days. It was a fantastic opportunity to see the talent she is up against to try to commit to a D1 soccer program, but she played with confidence and did very well!
Here she is with one of the current keepers. It was an experience she won't forget!
