Signing my daughter up for AYSO soccer years ago was one of the best decisions I've made as a…read moreparent and I don't say that lightly, I really mean it. The program is designed to give kids an introduction to the world of soccer where they can develop fundamental skills, have some fun and grow in their love of the game. But it's so much more. Over the years I've watched my daughter gain confidence on the field and become an impactful play maker and I owe a lot of that to her early coaches who nurtured her and encouraged her even though she wasn't the most athletic player on the team. I've since started coaching teams and it has been a deeply rewarding experience. As a family we've made friends with fellow parents and players from the community we never would have met otherwise. The low cost and open registration means the program is accessible to people from all demographics and it brings together the community around the common ground of the soccer field. As a volunteer I've seen how well run and organized it all is under the hood. There is a real focus on player safety and development. Volunteer coaches are trained on more than just teaching soccer but also on youth development and positive coaching techniques. I could go on. I can't recommend the AYSO enough, especially "Glendale Region 88", one of the largest regions in the world. My only regret is that I waited until my daughter was 9 years old to start her soccer journey, I really wish we started in their age 4 program which is fun on a whole different level. One note, their registrations do fill up early so make sure to check their site to get in the moment registration opens up. If you're late and get on the waiting list, you can almost guarantee a spot for your kiddo by signing up as a volunteer coach, which I highly recommend :)

Not only they placed her in a team where I was no part of, meaning I spent all that time in vain but the lack of consideration for kids from separated parents and their schedules is horrendous, I was vocal that she couldn't practice on Fridays, and they placed her on a team that practices on Fridays, when I voiced to Aldo the head of Region 88 that I wanted to request a change of teams (immediately after receiving the schedule) I was told no, when I asked for a refund I was told no, when I asked for solutions I got radio silence, the lack of solutions and ghosting is not what you expect from an organization this size. We ended up getting her classes on Evolve near Eagle Rock and in just two days her technique improved more than a year of AYSO. So if you want better technique and more flexibility in schedule and are able spend a bit extra $, go somewhere else.

But I just thought we'd explore a little more. Both of my daughters have trained in artistic gymnastics for about a year and they developed an interest in rhythmic gymnastics so we just dropped in today for their Saturday class. The coaches teach the children focus and impart a lot of discipline (if you're not used to it, it might rub you the wrong way) but this is all for the benefit of the students so the students are better at their trade. The owner's name is Serge. He's very accommodating and is knowledgable about what level each student should train at. From what I saw today, he really cares about the families of the gymnasium because he's running around all over the place handling paperwork and what not while talking to parents and students.

Coaches are all high level champions either World Champions or Olympians, etc. They train using proven Soviet and Russian techniques and disciplines. I love their coaches! 2. The owners, coaches and parents are all very supportive, patient and friendly. They help me and encourage me (yes I need it - more than my child ;-) ) 3. The proof is in the pudding - the competition teams all place in the top 3 spots in all of the various levels. If your looking for a "fun" recreational gym that plays with your kids and has birthday parties - DON'T come here! But if you're looking for a place that will help your daughter focus and learn technique, structure and discipline then this is THE only place in the Valley to come to! Caveat: I'm a lil upset about the parent visiting from out of town that took photos of the bathroom and left such a bad review that had nothing to do with the training. Now EVERY time I check into Yelp it posts the photos of the toilet. I have been coming here for months and it is NOT like that ever. In the gyms defense, it may have been due to the high volume of lil children using the restrooms during the competition. But I don't put it past some entitled mom scorned and getting her payback by throwing seat covers and tissue and taking a photo. I think its kinda funny...at least they had plenty of TP and seat covers! lol :)
