Quotes From Our Players!

We keep a journal of each tour for comments and observations by our players and coaches. Here are some extracts from their entries, written on the homeward bound flight:

"This Rovers tour was simply amazing. The score of our games is something that will be forgotten easily but the great experiences, the unforgettable memories, the fun and the friendships are something I will treasure and remember forever."
Adam Philpott  Magnolia, MA  '07 Rovers

"A life changing experience that I will never forget -- great friends, great basketball, and great teammates." 

 Jon Goldberg  Burlington, Vermont 
Co-Captain '07 Colonials Spirit

"The only word that comes to mind on this flight back home is WOW!. This experience changed me forever and I was able to learn so much from my coaches and teammates. It is a time I will never forget."
Michael Silinonte  Groton, MA '07 Ambassadors

"My experience with the New England Colonials was unlike any other. I've never participated in an event that has given me such a new outlook on the world like this trip did. I will never forget the friends I made, the places I traveled, and the fun I had."
Matt Glass, Ambassadors '04

"The trip was so fulfilling and like no other trip I've ever been on. It was the best ten days of my life."
Greg Twomey '01

"This trip was great! I got to see more of the world, meet new people, and play some great basketball."
Matt Grendal '00

"This has been the experience of a lifetime. My hosts in Berlin and Warsaw were more than hospitable - they were a second family!"

"I have matured so much as a person and learned so much from the experiences... The Colonials tours will always be a high point in my life."
