The coaches are really great at working with the kids and at encouraging them and having fun while also laying a groundwork for solid soccer skills. I have one son in the Diamonds league (4-7) and one son in the Toddlers Program (2-3). We love both programs. They are age-appropriate, tailored to the kids' abilities, and very focused around both improvement and encouragement. Both coaches of the diamonds have taken time with my son, who is sometimes reluctant to participate, to encourage him to come back out onto the field and keep trying. The toddlers' coach is energetic, patient, and comes up with great games to encourage the kiddos to join him. Very happy with the program and strongly recommend as a beginners' introduction to soccer.

Minus one start because there's too many exercises that either don't involve kicking a ball, or require kids picking things with their hands.

He sets high expectations for the players in his program, but knows how to keep the camp fun and entertaining so the kids enjoy learning and want to come back.
