Parkland Soccer Club Welcomes Back Returning Girls Soccer Standouts

By Coach Cristian Raudales

The energy around Parkland Travel Soccer has reached a new high — and with several standout girls returning to finish their travel soccer journeys where it all began, the excitement around the program is undeniable.


After spending the past few years exploring other opportunities, a special group of players has chosen to return home to Parkland for one final run. Their decision is more than just a reunion — it’s a testament to the culture, growth, and sense of belonging that define the Parkland Soccer Club experience.

“What excites me the most bout coming back to Parkland for my last year is actually being able to enjoy the game and play with the same girls that have been my best friends since the beginning,” said Sophia.
Another player returning, Leah, echoes that sentiment while looking ahead to what’s next: “I’m excited to be back at Parkland, getting to know my new teammates and competing at a high level together. I can’t wait to see how we grow as a team this season.”

A Homecoming With Purpose

The timing couldn’t be better. Parkland Travel’s girls’ program is surging — with expanded development initiatives, competitive results across regional tournaments, and a growing reputation for cultivating both talent, leadership and values. Bringing back familiar faces only strengthens that foundation. For Ashley, the return marks a fitting end to a lifelong connection with the club.

“Finishing my career at Parkland Soccer Club gives me the chance to close my soccer journey with the same best friends I started it with,” Ashley said. “I’ve been a part of this club since I was a kid, and knowing I get to come back one last time to finish where it all began is something I’ll cherish forever.”

Friendship, Fun, and One Final Run

Across the roster, that same theme of connection and joy runs deep.

“It is about getting to have fun with my best friends while playing soccer — it’s a win-win,” said Emily. “I get to finish my journey with the same people I started it with.”
“I am most excited to be reunited with my friends who I first played with,” added Kai. “I’m excited to really enjoy the sport with the people I love playing with one last year.”
And for Allison the return feels like coming full circle: “What excites me the most about coming back to Parkland is being able to play with the people that I met here and have been best friends with since. I just want to enjoy and have fun these last couple of years.”

Setting the Tone for the Future

As the new season kicks off, the enthusiasm around Parkland Travel is impossible to miss. Families, coaches, and teammates are eager to see how this group of returning players — veterans who’ve worn the Parkland colors before — will lead both on and off the field.


For the younger girls in the program, their example is especially powerful. To see players return to the same club where their soccer journeys began sends a clear message: Parkland is a place to grow, to compete, and to come home to.

The story of Parkland Soccer Club continues to be one of growth, commitment, and community. And with these players back in the lineup, the next chapter looks brighter than ever.


Welcome back, ladies — PSC is proud to have you back home.
