  • After learning the importance of using heart rate to understand exercise, put that knowledge to the test! Work to get your heart rate up and learn a few soccer skills along the way.

  • Through a scavenger hunt, explore the interactives and artifacts in the National Soccer Hall of Fame. Learn how NEC facial recognition technology works and the algorithms behind the Build Your Best XI interactive table.

  • Students learn the various ways that STEAM is present at Toyota Stadium and in the world of soccer. Along the way, students complete activities at each tour stop. Topics include field science, stadium art, and soccer equipment engineering.

Trip Options

In-Person trips are available Monday-Thursday throughout the school year. There are a variety of schedules to pick from to meet the needs of as many schools as possible. We have a participant range of 60-120 students per day (1:10 chaperone requirement). Admission for the in-person trip is $8 per student, except those on free and reduced lunch, who attend for free. If you need assistance with transportation, please view our Transportation Assistance Program.

When considering the schedule options below, please keep in mind that Schedules A, C, and E are recommended.

  • Schedule A 9:45 AM - 1:45 PM (Monday - Thursday)
