Playing for the Ballistic United Soccer Club is about so much more than just showing up for practices during the week, then the games on the weekend.

It’s about the growth of the person as the players develop into young men. BUSC doesn’t just want the development of soccer skills, but the maturation of each player as a person.

With that in mind, Ballistic started the Ballistic Abroad Program in 2012. The trips – always to England – have taken place from 2012 through 2019, with a three-year break from COVID.

“The aim is to provide a soccer culture experience that will provide a lifetime of memories,” said Ballistic Technical Director Kevin Crow. “We go over spring break to minimize missing school.”
