If you are a parent, please do a search regarding the owner of Class Athlete, Roy Bova. Reviews of…read morethis organization, specifically his leadership, are atrocious. I have now learned how terrible it is personally, also, as he changed the terms of registration for Spring Break camp a month after my payment and registration and is refusing a refund. He said that I 'should have read the agreement', but sadly I did and he is an arrogant and abusive thief. I have submitted photo proof of how the terms in writing changed after registration to multiple agencies as I feel obliged to warn other Moms to avoid Roy Bova and Class Athlete at all costs. He should be ashamed of the horrible reviews and reputation he already has from years back, yet he still engages in ripping off the community and treating parents and children like trash. He does not deserve a single penny from families and I do hope the talk about class action lawsuits goes into action for past behavior and fraud.

However, around COVID, I decided not to renew, so it has been a few years since I've been to a game. The reps from the team have been in contact with me often over the last several years. The call and they email, asking if I want to buy another season or package of games. Apparently, all my points from lion nation have added up? They said I had credit in my account that I could use towards tickets. I used my credit to get a three game package in the vip section which includes all you can eat and drink (NA/beer/wine). We went to a Saturday game and had a great time. The seats were great- I could see the plays happening and nothing blocked my view. The food has suffered a bit of a decline. No longer do they serve elaborate charcuterie tables, but instead have a few hot items and the typical hot dog plus/minus chili cheese. That night it was pasta, Chicken and waffles and pork taco. The food was just ok. For beverages, their coolers were full all night with water, soda and sparkling water. We did not want to have beer or wine. They do sell cocktails. The lounge experience has gone downhill. It no longer seems like a vip experience because there are just too many people. They have a huge TV now and they got rid of the small merchandise shop. The lounge is unbelievably noisy. It was difficult to find a place to sit and eat. I do like that it has bathrooms, so I don't have to go far and miss the game. The D entrance is nice too- it's private and has clean bathrooms and a way to get to the regular concourse if you desire. I do like the team. I also enjoy the game. However, I don't think the vip experience is worth it. Just get the cheap tickets and eat on the concourse or go out to eat after the game. You can get a great view from many seats in the stadium. I love that you can go to the game on any budget- they have cheap tickets in the supporter section. It's affordable for most people. I will continue to support the team and I will finish my package of games. I still have more credit so I'll invite some friends. But if I buy tickets in the future, it won't be for the vip lounge experience. I'd rather get a suite or sit in the regular seats.

When you walk in there is a desk to the left and restrooms to your right. The indoor fields are directly straight. It's definitely a well loved and used facility as seen by the floors, walls and overall aesthetic of the inside. Plenty of space for practice, games and observers. The coach for the little tots is just lovely! It's a very small group but she works to keep them engaged while still introducing soccer fundamentals through play. We enjoyed her style and sold us on the program. There is a membership fee in addition to the season fee. We're giving it a try this season and will update if needed.

They had the spacious…read moreparking lot closed off for outside vendors, a stage, decorations, tables, & entertainment to walk around. It was a popular event so lines got pretty long & having that space was nice. Never felt crowded. The same goes for inside. There are 2 large soccer fields with nets around so you feel completely safe from falling balls. They had vendors inside & also on the courts in the back. There are large curtains to separate the back courts, so they set up a cute kids craft area. There are nice clean bathrooms, a large lobby, & a side room. I'm unsure what these spaces are used for typically, but they had beer & food. I got the beer special, it came in a bottle. You can't bring your drinks or food on the field. The field itself was very cool. It was turf with like black fake soil underneath. It didn't get in my shoes, it wasn't slippery, it was very innovative. I'm not in the sports world, so maybe this is typical, but I was very impressed.

I wouldn't feel right if I didn't leave a review for this "Soccer club". I honestly never leave…read morereviews for anything or anyone. Very sorry so long... Now, just to be fair, we only experienced the tryout which only cost $25.00. The tryout was 4 days long 1.5 hours per day which sounds great for $25.00 right! I really didn't care if my kid got a nod to play for them or not, but we have been with the same club since he was 4 and I wanted to see how he would stack up against other kids in another club. He is currently in U9. By the way, we are with Class Athlete, which is much better and more affordable if anyone is looking. They have their problems, but nothing like FKK. Here's the rub.... For the first 3 days the coaches stood in the middle of the 2 fields the kids were playing on, barely paying attention. Based on interactions we saw and what kids were left after day #1, they had already chosen the kids on their top tier teams before the tryouts even started. The "Tryouts" if you want to call them that, were a free for all, no rules, hammer fest, none stop scrimmage. Several smaller kids got ran over by the much larger ones. It would take the coaches minutes to finally see that a kid was hurt. Based on what I saw, they are not looking for skills necessarily here, just who can take and give the most punishment and keep going. The "Coaches" would just keep saying Keep playing. The kids that were taught to be ball hogs or are just naturally that way, I'm sure loved it since the kids with passing skills would give it up and never see the ball again. The ones that "succeeded" right away were the kids that have played, are playing, or tried out for them in the past and knew what this was going to be like. Everyone else had to adjust, which took some kids a while (or not at all) that are used to, you know, rules and stuff like that. They NEVER ran a drill or skill test to see who could do what. I only kept going because we signed up and I don't want my kids to think they can quit just because it's different or hard. After we signed up for tryouts, I never received any other communications from them. They kept saying tell the parents to check their email. Nothing. The tryout just ended, so I was waiting for a yes or even a sorry he didn't make it this time email. Nothing. They moved the fields on us the last 2 days to 2 different locations. Nothing. It did just end, so I'll give it some time before I call and give them a piece of my mind....But I'm sure they won't answer or I won't get in contact with someone that it will matter to. In closing, based on my experience, a 1 star is pretty generous. Not saying they won't step up and actually coach the kids that do make the teams. BUT, (big but here) the tryout, in my humble opinion, is inefficient, ineffective, and not worth the 4 days of our time.
