As many of you know, I have been taking trips down to Medellin, Colombia every summer for the last 14 years (2020 was an exception). Over 70 high schoolers from the Columbia, SC area have gone on these trips. There are 4 areas of emphasis: train with and compete against the Colombian players, help with the training of the recreational level players, do physical/manual labor at the soccer complex, and give assistance to families in the poor neighborhoods.

South Carolina players will stay in dormitories that are built into the soccer stadium. Meals will be served at the stadium complex. The stadium complex has 24 hour security. There has never been an incident on my trips. Players will have the opportunity to sight-see around the Medellin area.

There are openings for individuals and teams to attend during the month of July. July 3-11 is the first trip. Coaches, this is a great trip for your team! Contact Coach Peter Wittig for more information. peterjwittig@gmail.com or 803-622-7271
