They have had some administrative issues, however, and my original review was very upset at them for failing to send a coach to my son's birthday party as scheduled and confirmed. That's why they don't have a 5th star. The classes alone would have earned 5 stars. But apparently mistakes like that are not common for them, and they have been appropriately very apologetic for it.

Triangle Adult Soccer League (TASL) is great asset to the triangle. Games and teams are…read moreprofessionally organized. Referees are typically fair and keep the game competitive yet safe. I've played in other outdoor and indoor leagues (XL Soccer World, Carolina Sportsplex, Rainbow) and, by far, TASL is the best. With a Spring, Summer Heat, and Fall season you can play outdoor soccer nearly year round. During the winter, take a break or find an indoor league elsewhere. Andy and Donna play a big role in keeping the league organized and they do a fantastic job. There are many divisions (mens, womens, coed, and various age groups and skill levels within those categories). The league can accommodate almost any skill level but finding a team can be difficult. You can register as a pool player but you might not be picked up. If you're a goalkeeper or female then your odds are much better. Also, finding a team might get easier because Andy and Donna are expanding the league by finding new fields and they're also working to build their own soccer park via a partnership with Triangle Soccer Development. I've organized several teams and have found it very rewarding. It can be a bit time consuming and frustrating collecting money but generally I've had great success and it gets easier with experience. As a player and team captain, I find TASL to be a lot of fun.

In addition to their formal competitve leagues in the Spring and Fall seasons, they offer organized but informal rec games (8v8, one ref, no one keeps score, plenty of touches), training opportunities, and even opportunities for pickup games. Andy has moved on to other opportunties but his replacement in the office, Kirsten Nicholas, has a corporate training background and is helping the organization to ensure all players, captains, and refs are well educated about both the letter and spirit--which is to say, good sportsmanship--of the game. And the admin tech is much-improved from 2010 (for example, captains no longer have to collect money as they did when Phil wrote his review as the League takes care of that online). They have also partnered closely with the Railhawks to the benefit of both organizations. And the refs are much better managed and improved in quality compared to three years ago. TASL provide a great way to get some exercise, enable you to meet people you otherwise might not have, promote an atmosphere of comeraderie, and, in their modest way, consistently do more than you would expect to enhance the experience of life in the Triangle.

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.
