I do not like that they shortened the seasons and took away the tournament. We are still required to pay a membership fee which makes it more per season.

I have had 2 daughters play a couple seasons with Wake FC, before moving on to other clubs. My…read moreoldest played several years ago and had an "ok" experience with the team/coaching/competition, etc. Back then they had no keeper program, except for Friday's where they just had 2 classed every Friday where they divided all the club keepers into 1 of 2 classes. The classes were way too crowded for much if any 1 on 1 coaching. We paid for private lessons as a result. We moved her over to NCFC at U13 where they provide 2 Keeper trainings a week with just 3-4 girls the same age group, so she got much better keeper coaching. Her team coach also played professionally on an international team. Our youngest daughter came out of "retirement" to play for a Wake FC classic U12 team for 2019-2020 season. Even given past experience with Wake we figured we would give them another shot as their practices were more convenient to see if our daughter was going to be committed to competitive soccer this time around after retiring at age 7 after 1 season. Our team coaching was OK, but often completely incorrect techniques taught about keeper position specifically which is not necessary unusual with coaches that played other positions. However this is why other clubs provide classic teams with 2 keeper specific trainings a week. While Wake FC does have a keeper coach now, they also assign him teams to coach so he cannot focus all his energy on keeper coaching, so most kids got left out of any real keeper training. Halfway through the fall season Wake FC brought in another keeper coach to run a couple trainings a week. Those trainings were a complete waste of time as the classes were again too large to provide technique correction so kids just out there practicing bad habits. It was quite painful to watch. We paid extra to attend weekly trainings with the largest club in the area, NCFC where coach to kid ratio was like 3-4 kids per coach, so kids got individual instruction. One of the main disappointments was Wake FC allowed an unqualified parent with no coaching credentials to help coach the team and run practices while the main coach was often not there. I know several parents complained, and nothing happened. So it was not surprising that the team played kick and chase soccer like a rec team and some basic fundamentals of soccer were not taught. I think we won the possession battle maybe twice in the whole season. I think some of the girls that moved to the another club with our daughter got more position/possession coaching in first day of team camp than they did all last season at Wake FC. Which makes sense, as there were two coaches on the field with maybe 12 girls and those coaches had played professionally and coached at NCAA level. I can't speak directly to boys program at Wake FC, but I can say that while the main keeper coach at Wake FC is good, he just can't provide the quality I think you would expect for classic fees as just one guy with teams to coach as well. So I would recommend other clubs in the area if your kid is serious about being a keeper and you don't want to supplement club fees with personal training fees. Team coaching is hit or miss with any club, but a club that would allow an unqualified parent who didn't even play in school much less have a professional career after, is a bit suspect for me on what they might be willing to get away with for quality of coach. There are other clubs in the area where coaches are required to get additional trainings to keep up coaching licenses and also have pretty deep professional playing and coaching experience here in the US as well as in Europe, so kids can learn to play the right way early. Though if you live in Holly Springs area Wake FC is super convenient, and could be a good way to dip the toe into competitive soccer, and allow kids to build relationships with local kids. This is why 2 stars instead of 1. Ting and Womble fields are convenient and good for Holly Springs. The Middle School and High school fields can be rough at times, but that is good practice too.

So I looked up the website and it looked like a nice organization to start my son with. The youngest players they have are three which was perfect for us. I signed him up and I was so excited! Well the first practice came around and all of the kids were there ready to practice. Guess what...we did not have a coach. Finally the people that run the organization coerced a few parents into volunteering to coach. The coach for our team had never even played soccer. Awesome!!! (said with great sarcasm!) So after about two weeks of practice that involved made up drills by our poor coach we had our first game. They didn't even give us our uniforms until after the first game. I know that the kids were young and I should not have expected professional instruction, but I did expect something! We had a team with no coaches and no uniforms. So after this terrible soccer season we finally went to the end of season picnic. Which was nice because they provided hotdogs and hamburgers. The downside. The whole freaking place almost blew up because one of the grills that they were using did not have the propane hose had a hole in it. Propane was shooting out everywhere. Luckily my husband spotted the problem and ran to turn off the grill before 200 kids and parents got blown to smithereens. The only nice thing I have to say about goldstar is that they officially turned my son off of soccer and we are now apart of a good football organization. Way to go GOLDSTAR you made a kid hate soccer!

However, the stadium is quaint, new, and clean. The absolute best part for me was the shaded seating and ceiling fans. For those sun enthusiasts, there is a tiny section left unshaded. They have a big screen that introduces all the home players, AstroTurf grass, wooden bats, and the stadium is well lit when the sun goes down. The mascot Sal the Salamander is a delight; great with the kids and fun to watch. Concessions are adequate for the size of the clientele and they offer the basics of hot dogs, beer, ice cream, and more. The parking was convenient. The lot was large and a short distance from the stadium. If you are in the mood for smaller crowds and a hometown baseball feel, north main athletic complex is a fantastic choice.

Nope, we've just received word that lightening is still within three miles of the stadium; please exit the bleachers!). The game that should have begun at 7pm was delayed till 8:30. But then we played ball! (Is that slogan only used with baseball?) It was a vs Miami game and I was pretty impressed by the speed and skill demonstrated by both teams. With a dad who still plays the sport at age 54 and a brother who left the womb in cleats, I've seen my fair share of games.

I might leave a separate review for the facility; but for those reading this one, note that parking is $5; beers (mostly bud and miller) are $4. There are individual seats on the bleachers that cradle your bum. And there's a grill offering cheesy nachos and basic ballpark food.
