The group included players, two trainers, and a group of parent supporters. Based in Oberbayern (Upper Bavarian), the group spent time in Munich and the surrounding area, including several days in the picturesque town of Erding.
 

GFC players enjoyed the 7-aside matches, putting on a good display of quality, patient, intelligent soccer, and fairing well with a 1-1-1 record.  Several of German youth coaches commented on the quality of the GFC girls' play, including their organization and discipline, and even enquired about GFC training methods. 
 

A great soccer experience was highlighted by the incredible hospitality of the host clubs, which always included use of changing facilities, access to high quality natural grass playing surfaces, fairly played matches, and post-match social activities for players and supporters in the clubhouse. 

Throughout the trip, the group took advantage of a variety of sights and attractions in Munich, Erding and further a field.  In Munich, the group attended a public training session of world-famous FC Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena.  Also while in Munich, the group enjoyed a bus tour of the city, and a bike tour along the Isar river and throughout the expansive English garden. 

While in Erding, the group enjoyed a more relaxing time, taking in the small town charm, shopping, etc.   The group attended the Sinnflut festival in Erding with many vendors, live music, and traditional foods to enjoy.  With the warm, sunny days, the group particularly enjoyed the Erding Therme which boasts Europe's largest water park in addition to leisure pools and spas, as well as a day at a local lake.  Finally, the group made a day trip to King Ludwig II's famous Neuschwanstein castle in lower Bavaria and enjoyed views of the Alps.
