“The entire Tulis family, along with the coaching staff have been a big part of our lives; from the very first Roman Tulis summer camp, I was so impressed with the speech Roman made to the kids. Talking about health, respect, and dedication; all values that we as parents want to instil in our children.
Not only has (your program) allowed our daughter to follow her passion for the past six years, but it has been such a positive journey and experience that has taught all of our family life long lessons.”

“Over the past four years, you and the other coaches have helped (our daughter) develop not only her soccer skills, but her inter-personal and social skills as well. She has learned to not allow success to go to her head, nor failure to go to her heart. She has learned that there are no free rides, and consistent hard work and training are the keys to success. (A little luck here and there doesn’t hurt either!) She knows that if you’re good, they will find you and if you’re not good enough, you will need to work harder.
For her, the Roman Tulis School provided a safe, non-threatening environment; a place were development meant taking risks, not being afraid of practicing new skills, and where making mistakes didn’t mean being “tossed out”. She has been blessed to have played on two B.C. Provincial teams and has trained with the National Training Center for two years but it is the training with you that she attributes to these achievements.”

“Thank you so much, Roman, for everything you have taught (our son) over the past ten years. About soccer of course. You were right. You are the best! But also about integrity, hard work, respectful behaviour, how to thoroughly enjoy victory, and how to continue to work hard in the face of disappointment. Although (he) is no longer part of the school we know that you and the school will always be part of him.”

“We feel very fortunate that (our boys) received the world-class calibre of coaching that you we’re able to provide, but most of all we were grateful that they came to know and respect a man of such personal integrity. You were indeed a wonderful role model that helped to shape their formative years.”

“For many of the (players), Roman’s school will be a constant from year to year when schools, teachers, coaches, and teams change. Roman has been a mentor for (our son) longer than any other teacher or coach and the lessons learned weren’t limited to soccer.”

“Number of pairs of gravel cleats purchased – plus or minus 13; Number of uniforms – about 10 and more gallons of laundry detergent then I care to consider; Number of kilometres driven – at 60 km round trip, 8x per month, x9 years – about 120,000 km – just for Roman’s practices! Number of stops at fast food restaurants on the way home from practice – too embarrassing to admit; Number of European Trips - Four and lots of photos and memories; The Roman Tulis Soccer Experience – PRICELESS!”

“Roman and his coaching staff not only develop good players, but they develop good people as well. They work hard to build character and instil positive values in their players through hard work, responsibility, and mutual respect. They challenge each player to perform to the best of his / her abilities and teach them that discipline, focus, and passion are necessary to achieve not only soccer success, but success in life as well.
We believe that the most important factor that influences the quality of young children’s lives is their feelings of self-worth and their self-image. They will rise or fall, succeed or fail by the image of themselves that they hold in their own mind. We see the Tulis School as an extension of our own efforts to nurture these feelings in our children. We find that their association with Roman, his coaches, the other players, and their parents, who all share values similar to ours, is something very positive that goes beyond the game of soccer. After all ‘soccer IS life”; is it not?”
