Mia Hamm added, “In the heart of every player lies a dream, and at TeamFirst, we strive to turn those dreams into reality. This adult camp is about more than soccer. It’s about building common bonds with women who love the game as much as we do. We can’t wait to enjoy this experience with those who grew up alongside us, and to share the power of dreaming big.”
Registration opens on January 15, 2024. Female players and fans, 21 and over, and of all abilities are welcome to enjoy the experience.
