Touring the university, training with the coaches, and experiencing the local culture was all I needed to confirm that committing to UDA-Chester was the right choice for me. The players on this tour developed a special bond In just a few days, and we cannot wait to attend university together in the fall of 2024. Thank you UDA for putting a world-class education, and professional football experience within reach.

The UDA Chester tour is a very special opportunity for future student athletes to see what real life is like on this campus.  Players had incredible experiences meeting advisors and professors in their area of academic interest and were able to train with current Chester players and the coaching staff.  The amount of face-to-face time that the tour athletes had with their future influencers is unlike anything we have experienced on any other college tours.  If you're considering University of Chester/UDA, this tour is invaluable for your future.  ​

UDA thanksgiving tour was a lifetime experience for my son. The staff were amazing. From the time we landed till the time we left. The tour as well as the camp was extremely well organized. Tour guide, coaches, and staff were so awesome. Kids had a schedule itinerary they had to follow which worked well. They played against other experienced athletes and showed their talent. They even had a well organized Thanksgiving dinner. The bond the kids developed was ecstatic. If you are offered to experience this amazing tour, don’t hesitate. I promise you won’t regret it.

This thanksgiving tour was a once in a lifetime opportunity. We got to meet the coaches at the University, got to train with the players, and get a feel of the College life. Visiting legendary stadiums like Old Trafford and Anfield is one of those experiences you cherish for a lifetime. The best part of the trip for me was making new friends and having that bond with people you would’ve never known without going on that trip.

​I think everything was great, it was well set up with the training and touring local areas. The group dinners were a great way to bond and ge to know each other and become a better team. The older guys already on the program are really friendly. It was a great experience and I urge everyone who wants to go to Chester to go for it.

I really thought the tour was extremely well done, including giving people some free time to explore the area. I thought the hotel was a great venue. The staff was very nice and helpful.
The meeting with the academic staff (Dr. Connie Hancock) was another highlight. Josh got away with an "I can do this" feeling about the curriculum.
Finally, the great thing about the Thanksgiving dinner for the players was that they really got to socialize with the existing players. They learned a lot that evening about living and studying in Chester. Perhaps another mixed social event with new and existing players could be held earlier in the tour.

The most impressive aspect for me is their commitment to the player's education. They prioritize students and we were reminded of this the entire tour. The interaction and training with the coaching staff was exceptional. They have a wealth of knowledge and are eager to work with the players. The UDA Summer Tour was very eye opening and I thank the incredible staff for such an amazing experience. ​
