1-Star Review I…read morewould not recommend joining this club. Everything seems fine until you raise concerns about playing time. My daughter attended nearly every practice throughout the season, yet when I questioned her lack of playing time at tournaments, our concerns were dismissed rather than addressed. More troubling was the behavior of her coach. On multiple occasions, players were called derogatory names, and it was not uncommon to see athletes leave practices or tournaments in tears. Several parents documented concerns regarding the coach's conduct, yet the club continued to support him without meaningful accountability. The club also promised opportunities for players to share their concerns through individual meetings, but those meetings never took place. When I expressed that my daughter was not comfortable meeting alone with her coach lmy concerns were repeatedly ignored and no alternative solution was offered. After ultimately leaving the club, I requested a refund for the final month since my daughter was no longer participating. The club refused and has remained unwilling to work toward a reasonable resolution. Based on our experience, I would encourage families to carefully consider their options before committing to this club. There are other organizations that place a greater emphasis on player development, communication, and accountability, and who do not value their monthly fee more than their players well being.

We are extremely disappointed with our experience at this club. From the start, there were red…read moreflags we ignored, hoping things would improve. However, the behavior of the Pompano Beach club director, @ChrisKushay, and the 14U Elite coach, @BrookeSalvato, was unacceptable, leading us to leave. What was sold as organization turned out to be stifling micromanagement, hindering growth and individuality. The lack of respect and communication from both was shocking. They purposely avoid acknowledging parents, especially during tournaments. This dismissive attitude toward parents, who are crucial to their children's development, was a major concern. It felt like they viewed parents as obstacles rather than partners. After the second tournament, we requested a meeting to address their interaction with our daughter. We asked that they treat her with respect, and address her as the intelligent young lady she is. Instead of being receptive, they were combative and defensive, trying to spin our concerns into stereotypical issues. This was unprofessional and frustrating. We joined this club under the promise of top-tier tournaments, fast-tempo play, and high-level training. Instead, we attended lower-level tournaments and played a slow-paced game--completely contrary to what was promised. Our daughter, who has played at an open level for years, needed a high-level environment to grow. Instead, she was made to feel "not good enough" despite her experience and dominant performance. When we raised this, they defended their position, claiming the girls needed to "submit" to their style. This lack of flexibility was counterproductive. The situation worsened at the next tournament. The coach disagreed with a serving approach my daughter made and, instead of discussing it, the coach jumped to the conclusion it was because her "dad was coaching her from the stands." This excessive reaction fueled by their dislike of the meeting held, led to threats of benching her rather than an open conversation. There could have been several valid reasons for her decision to adjust her approach, for example: the opponent team adjusted their defense (high volleyball IQ), or a sore shoulder after an intense previous day (wellness), she was instead reprimanded without understanding. The final straw was when the director aggressively intersected us on our way out after we already informed them we were leaving after the game, and confronted us, stomping and yelling in front of everyone, making insulting insinuations intended to provoke and, once again, spin the situation. We hope other parents trust their instincts and take note of this experience. This coach and director demand a trust they haven't earned. Their dynamic is toxic and prioritizes their ego over athletes' growth. Even though there are great individuals who truly care about the development and well-being of their athletes within the organization, and are a credit to the club, the absence of rationale exhibited by @ChrisKushay and @BrookeSalvato undermines their efforts and creates a divisive, unhealthy environment. If you're considering this club, proceed with caution. Trust your instincts and prioritize your child's well-being over everything.

South Florida Club Sport, formerly known as The Miami Sports and Social Club, was the first…read moreorganization to put organized coed soccer on the Miami map (among other sports, but if you know me well then you know soccer is the only sport that counts in my book). Before most of these soccer fields and adult leagues popped up around the Miami area, South Florida Club Sport was setting up soccer leagues at the KSP field (even before it expanded and is what it is today) and let me tell you, they know how to organize sports very, VERY well. I've played in several leagues for SFCS from 2005 till now and that just shows you how awesome they are. Not only was it a great way for me to stay in shape but the best part about it was I also met and made lifelong friends through the various leagues I joined throughout the years. Additionally, I've had many interactions with the owner of the company, Steve Arsenault, and he is nothing short of professional as well as friendly. He's always open to feedback from the league members so if you ever find yourself thinking of ways to improve the league you're playing in, just reach out to him and he'll be all ears. He also tries to set up other social events and trips for the league members which is always appreciated and enjoyable. What else is there to say except that this company has consistently established solid leagues for all kinds of sports and has brought the Miami community together in a social and fun way. If you're new to Miami or a native Miamian (Broward County counts, too), make it a point to join one of their leagues. You will not regret it! Their motto to me should be, "SFCS - making adult soccer leagues cool since the early 2000s."

They do not like…read moreparents to have an opinion or concerns when they see things going on that are questionable or incorrect so at that point the parents become the problem no matter how respectful the issues are brought to them. In under a year I've seen many families leave this league due to lack of professionalism from the owner as well as the people he puts in charge of this league so I have been doing my research the last few months for alternatives and many other great leagues for kids in Miami and it's surrounding area so I'd highly suggest you avoid this one at all cost as rules and regulations change from game to game and your child's safety is not a priority once that paperwork and waiver is signed. Don't be disillusioned or fooled by the $12 championship rings or the Friday games. And I won't be surprised by the narrative the owner will try to portray in response to this review. Laz do yourself a favor and learn how to talk to people because you have no class as a business owner you are not tough over the phone and this is not the street MEN LIE WOMEN LIE VIDEOS DONT YOU CLOWN AND I HAVE JUST THAT. I won't go back and forth because I was done either way as my kid doesn't even come to the so called practices for months now and I decided to walk away and leave this league so please don't come on here and act like you kicked anybody out. This league will continue to go down hill due to the owner.And lastly they will allow other parents to yell at your kids and if you react to the parent because they don't you become the problem and story changes you picked the right one because i have videos upon videos

We chose soccer since my son had previously played one season with another team. They have several teams practicing close to each other at the same time. Lessons were half an hour of practice and half an hour of game. They also have other sports practicing (t-ball, flag football and basketball). Needless to say it was pretty chaotic with a lot of people. All coaches are volunteers, usually parents of kids from the team. Some do a good job but others make you wonder why they even signed up to volunteer, our coach pretty much quit mid season. They have employees that sometimes supervise and help the coaches. My favorite day was when they gave out trophies to every kid the last day of the season.
