Girls come on out and get ready for a new season with new coaches. Not sure of you want to play? Come participate in conditioning, see if you might like what you will be doing and the teammates you would be playing with.

The students will attend a local area high school and will arrive in Fall 2007. Homestays can be for one or two semesters. Don’t have an extra bedroom? They can share a bedroom with a host sister. ECI will pay a generous monthly stipend to help with expenses. Your whole family can enjoy a rich cultural experience without leaving home. All international students have health insurance and they are here to learn about American Culture. Please contact ECI staff to learn more about this program: Laura Manning (831) 476-6360
