For reference my daughter is 6. I thought there was way too much scrimmage time. There was 15-20 minutes of scrimmage time per 45 minute lesson which is too much. The kids did not have the skills to play in the scrimmage. It was always two kids hogging the ball and scoring all the goals. There needed to be more skill drills on passing, defense, dribbling and SPACING. The did not know how to dribble and then pass. They didn't know how to receive a pass while running. They didn't know to move to open space when your teammate has the ball, they would run next to their teammate and take the ball from them or get in their way. They would just push each other in defense or stand there in front of them but not try to take the ball. There are a lot of fun games and drills that teach these skills. Scrimmaging did not improve these skills. I thought this program was supposed to be lessons focused on skills not jumping into real game play. That's what the leagues offer.
Great soccer club for kids\! My 6\-year\-old son really enjoyed his time here\. I especially appreciated how the coaches connected with each child and made practices fun and engaging\. A very positive experience\.
Staff (Joe) and coaches are great! Everyone is kind and encouraging. It’s a positive environment and the kids love it! They have fun and improve their soccer skills! Coach Z is amazing! He’s kind and positive! He really gets to know the kids and builds their confidence and soccer skills. My 2 year old and almost 6 year old had him back to back this session and watching him coach the littlest players and adjusting for the older kids was amazing! He was great with both ages groups! He’s really skilled in soccer and working with kids! My other son had Coach Aiden and loved him as well! The coaches really care! Joe is kind and seems to try to accommodate families the best he can! We have done many sessions and will continue!
The coaches are great (Joe and Arthur are amazing and stepped in to support this season). Communication about coaching changes/cancellations are clear.
Weather policy states online that you won’t cancel unless it’s a hard rain. We had light showers on and off (both forecasted and in reality), and practice was canceled. That was frustrating since we missed the notification. But I was confident it wouldn’t be canceled due to your policy. And instead of being given another makeup, it’s a credit. So, that’s another reason to have erred on just letting the kids play.
Great coaches and easy lessons my 5-6 year old can understand. Love that he is able to learn and play at the same time. The coaches are very patient and the interaction between coach and players are awesome. He has learned so many tricks. He has participated in the summer and fall season. We can’t wait to get to it!
Coach Stella is amazing. She stays in character continuously for the kids and doesn't allow the minority to distract the group as a whole. She is truly a gem and should further her life working with kids. Coach Alex was great too!
