    If your child is serious about Soccer, then the soccer Academy is where you want to be. You need…read moreto be committed since even for six-year-old practices are three nights a week and games on Saturday and training is year round. I have encountered nothing but nice qualified coaches and a dedicated director. The fields are in fantastic shape. They also take the children safety very serious. There's frequent water breaks and if lightning is anywhere in the vicinity, the siren will go off, and everyone must evacuate the fields. I couldn't be happier with our decision to play here.

    My daughter has played roughly 12 seasons of recreational soccer at this club and is in her second…read moreseason of Elite Academy. I was satisfied with the recreational level, as my expectations were significantly lower considering the cost, the stated purpose of the league and the coaches being volunteers. As a result of some excellent volunteer coaching, my daughter grew her soccer skills and was encouraged to tryout for the Elite Academy. After tryouts I was contacted by a coach and my daughter was offered a spot on her team. I spoke with the coach a few times over text and phone, because I wanted to understand the level of commitment (one year versus three months in recreational) that would be required for this new level of competition, and I needed to know what I should be expecting for a significant increase in fees, roughly six times the cost of the recreational level. These conversations were productive, and I accepted the position on the team. The coach shared an agenda for the year and I was excited at the initial showing of organization, structure and knowledge. This is where all of that ended. Virtually every point on the agenda has proven to be misleading or outright false. We were told there would be two seasons with an average of 8 games per season, so far that has barely been 6; recreational plays 10 no matter what. We were told that there would be 2-3 local tournaments between the two seasons, there has only been one. In this agenda the coach specifically mentions "Communication is the key to success." Here are just a few of the various examples of coaching communication: * After committing to join the team in May, I was told the Fall season would begin sometime in August, and that the coach would tell us when practices start. August comes around, I'm expecting a text or call, something, but I get nothing. So I reach out and ask the coach when practice is going to start, she informs me it started two weeks prior. So one of your team members just hasn't come to practice for two weeks and you don't even consider reaching out to the parent? * Also in the initial conversation it was communicated to me that there would be two team practices and that as an added benefit, there would be separate and optional practices for technical and goalkeeping skills. But ultimately, they understood kids will miss practice, and if everyone is doing their best to attend, my daughter would be fine. After a few weeks of the season, it became clear that other parents were not given the same impression. This created a rift among the parents, those who were bringing their kids to every practice and those who were doing the best they could. So it was clear that expectations had been communicated differently. * The coach mentioned in the agenda there would be 2-3 local tournaments; the key word being local. The first tournament proposed by the coach was not local, it would have required at least one overnight stay. The coach later polled the parents' availability for a second tournament, but failed to mention that it was also out of town; that seems like quite a large detail to omit. * I asked the coach about breaks in between the Fall and Spring sessions, because understanding the commitment required greatly affected my decision making process. I was told there would be breaks between the two where there would be no practices. This turned out to be untrue as well. After the fall season was over, the coach said they wanted to know what day of the week would be best to 'get everyone together for a practice over the winter break.' A practice, as in singular. But one practice isn't a huge imposition, so I and the rest of the parents all agreed on Sunday. The coach almost quite literally said "Ok great, Saturday it is then!" Then a week or so later, just decided to change it to Wednesdays. Notice the plural. So there actually isn't a break between the seasons, and we don't even get to pick the day. Due in large part to this poor communication, the rift between parents became less passive and more aggressive, after just a few games into the season. At this point I reached out to the director because the lack of communication, combined with coaching that was severely lacking became too much to tolerate. I spoke with her for a fairly extended conversation; during that conversation I was essentially told that my opinions were wrong and that I didn't see what I was seeing. It seems that this club has a misconception about our relationship; they seem to think this is a doctor patient relationship, where the doctor is not to be questioned; but that couldn't be further from the truth. We have a service provider and customer relationship; I have tried several times to communicate my displeasure with the product and have been ignored, condescended or gaslit at every attempt, hence this review. I don't like wasting money or time and I especially don't when it comes to my daughter. We only have about two months left on this contract, but
