About Eric Masters…
"Eric and I go way back...all the way back to High school soccer. My mom was even his PE teacher. He was a phenomenal keeper then and is now using his soccer experiences to teach and motivate young ladies. He is currently finishing up his C license course and constantly pursuing opportunities to learn all that the game has to offer. I am thrilled to have him and his family out to Fort Collins to embark with us on a journey to take this program to new heights!”
