We had been coming for two years now. From 3 to 6 years old classes, the coaches we had/have are patient and professional. Our kids has a lot of fun. The prices are reasonable. Definitely recommend getting their membership. Traffic at the parking lot can be bad during classes change though so get here a little earlier before class would be good. read more

No one is doing what NCSP is doing. They are truly the ONLY ones in the market doing it right when it comes to YOUTH SOCCER!!!! We have been consistently coming to NCSP for 3 years, and the experience just keeps getting better. Three years later, our now 4-year-old son is fundamentally excelling while genuinely loving the game and that says EVERYTHING!!! We've also started our 1-year-old daughter on her soccer journey, and she's already in her second season! She's gaining social interaction, motor skills, and pure joy. The excitement she shows when she sees the coaches and her desire to crash her older brother's practices is the best thing to watch (especially when Gibby yells, "Cameron, you've got a few years to go!"). We live at the Park and absolutely LOVE the coaches, the staff, and the coordinators. They are always open to conversations about our kids' development, and I truly value their input because it's clear they want every child to succeed and reach their maximum potential. The consistency of showing up every week and having consistent coaching staff really stands out. That stability, passion, and commitment make all the difference. NCSP is more than a program. It's family!! And we couldn't recommend it enough! read more

So glad we chose NCSP. Our kids have received excellent guidance from starting young and building them into great team players who love to have fun during practice and games. Can't say enough about how much we love our coaches. Coach Anna, Jesa, and Coco are rad! Big shout out to the ref's as well. read more

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY OR YOUR KID'S TIME AT NORTH COUNTY SOCCER PARK'S "SKILLS INSTITUTE" - TOTAL SCAM!!! I signed my 8-year-old son up for their "beginners" class (ages 7-9) because he was super excited to learn soccer from scratch. They brag about a great teacher-to-student ratio - yeah, only 4 kids total. Sounds perfect, right? WRONG. The other three kids were basically mini Messis - obviously advanced players who had no business being in a BEGINNER class. They should've been in the invite-only elite group or something. The "class" is a joke: 10 minutes of rushed "fundamentals" (if you can even call it that) and then 45-50 minutes of straight scrimmage where the three pros just DOMINATE and trash my poor kid over and over. He's getting the ball stolen every second, falling behind, and just getting completely demoralized. This was supposed to be FUN and educational - instead it's crushing his spirit! I politely asked the coach when they'd actually TEACH fundamentals, and she snaps that they already did it in the first 10 minutes. Seriously?? My 8-year-old needs more than 10 minutes to learn how to play soccer!!! When I pointed out how unfair the scrimmages were and how it wasn't fun for him, she literally throws her hands up and says "I just do what I'm told." Wow, real professional. So I call the office to talk to a manager - get some teenager-sounding kid named Ivan who couldn't care less. He just parrots "we follow the core curriculum" and that "training happens all season long." What training??? There's ZERO actual teaching going on! We paid $400 for 13 weeks of this garbage. After THREE classes, my son was done - hated it, no confidence left. Pulled him out and they "graciously" refunded $300 (big whoop). This place has ZERO interest in actually teaching beginners how to play soccer. It's nothing but a lazy cash grab run by a bunch of apathetic teenagers who couldn't care less about the kids' well-being or happiness. No empathy, no adjustments, no real coaching - just collect the money and let the skilled kids bully the newbies for an hour. If your kid is a total beginner, STAY FAR AWAY. North County Soccer Park Skills Institute is a complete rip-off and will kill any love your child has for the game. Appalled and disgusted - never again!!! read more

Coach Sydney and Mason are seriously the best. We have tried both North County Soccer and soccer shots and the coaches and program are way better through North County Soccer Park. You can tell they love their job and engage with the kids. read more

My son's love for soccer began at NCSP, starting with the Lil Kickers classes when he was just 2 years old. At first, he was nervous, and would even run away from the ball. But thanks to the nurturing environment and engaging coaches, he built confidence and developed his skills. He progressed to the Pee Wee leagues, Skills classes and leagues, and NCFC day camps, all of which have been incredible experiences for him. Now at 7 years old, as a competitive club soccer player, NCSP continues to further his soccer development. He gets extra practice through the 7v7 leagues, which complement his competitive play. The coaches here are exceptional--Coach Ryan, Angel, Gibby, Jon, Koko, and Daniel--all of them know my son personally and provide individualized guidance during games. This personalized attention has improved his skills but also deepened his love for the sport. If you're searching for a place that builds skills, confidence, and a lifelong passion for soccer, NCSP is the perfect choice. read more

I cannot say enough good things about NCSP or the experiences we have had there. Our boys have played there well over a year in Lil Kickers, Skills, and the 4v4 league and they've progressed significantly. In addition, everyone we have met there has been incredible from Coach Gibby, to Coach Mason, and the owners. Just last night they helped me out with a quiet place to work before my son's game, so I could still be present and part of the fun when I finished. That is going above and beyond!!! By far our favorite employee has been Summer, the manager. She makes sign up easy, communicates clearly, and treats our boys like her little brothers. They LOVE her!!! I am thankful we found NCSP and am so happy with our experience there. Highly recommend! read more

Rude and Unprofessional customer service at the office. Making thing too complicated and unwilling to work with you.

Great outdoor party for kids! Big shout out to North County Soccer Park for providing an arena for my son's 11th birthday dodgeball party. None of the San Diego County Parks would allow us to host a party right now. This was such a great find, and affordable too. Amazingly, only half of the parents even knew about this party venue. The covered deck was clean and the afternoon breeze offered a perfect spot for parents to gather and watch the kids play. We hosted the dodgeball game in the smaller, enclosed soccer arena (fitted with artificial turf) just below the deck. Honestly, it was so perfect. NCPS even had some extra dodgeballs for us to use. The kids spent a normal Friday afternoon playing Dodgeball, eating pizza and cake, and cooling down with the slushies from the snack bar. Thanks NCSP! If you're planning an outdoor event, check out NCSP (located in Poway) https://www.ncspsoccer.com/ read more

We've been a part of NCSP for 4 years now and have always loved the programs and the people. Our 2yo daughter also has joined lil kickers and enjoys it. The coaches and office management are always so friendly and amazing with parents and kids alike. Summer is always so helpful and every interaction with her is such a breeze. She's made my life as a parent trying to coordinate activities for my kids SO easy. The kids have also enjoyed the coaches, especially Jessica, Ryan and Sydney. We have recommended NCSP to everyone we know looking to get their kids active and into soccer. read more

We make the drive from Ramona every week because of how much we love this place and all their staff! From the amazing coach Sydney to the absolute rockstar of a manager Summer and all in between, we have had the best times here. Our son has grown so much as an athlete and made some great friends too! I tend to have a million questions EVERY time I come in and Summer is always ready to answer them and lead me in the right direction. We look forward to all the seasons to come! You have to come check this place out for yourselves :) read more

Lil' Kickers is an awesome program for kids being introduced to soccer (or honing their skills). We've now signed our kid up for a 5th time. One of the most impressive things to me is how consistent the coaches are. They all seem to teach the same way, even using a lot of the same verbiage. They all seem to have equal parts training on soccer and how to talk to kids. It's really awesome seeing them work week after week. I would highly recommend this to any parents in the area. Why not 5 stars? YA'LL NEED MORE BATHROOMS!!! You have hundreds of people there at a time between parents and kids, and only 1 bathroom!? Are you nuts?! Otherwise, you rock. read more

We loved our first season here! The coaches are fantastic and energetic. Would definitely recommend!

Both my boys have play at NCSP for over a year. We love the staff. Everyone there is super helpful and friendly. The skills league was recommended to us by Summer and we can definitely see the impact it has made on my son's performance. read more

I absolutely love NCSP. I have three boys spanning 14 years and I have long-been a fan of this organization (since 2006!) Our boys have been in both Little Kickers and Skills, as well as many of the soccer camps. The boys learned soccer skills and teamwork. Over the past 16 years, as the boys have played off and on, I have loved the vibe from the skilled coaches and most notable, the very low turnover rate. Clearly the coaches are supported by leadership/management/owner and definitely seem to love their job. They're amazing with the kids and have a consistent training approach that yields results. It's a very friendly and inclusive environment. Wonderful way to start kids off in a positive sports community. read more

This is a long awaited review. My son has been coming here since he was 3.5 years old. The coaches are extremely patient with the children and foster a safe environment for growth no matter the developmental stage of the child. They have a variety of programs/levels/days that will suit your scheduled and needs. The owners take pride in their facility and recently upgraded the soccer field. I highly recommend them. read more

The soccer classes here for young kids are fantastic! My son, Landen, loved all of his coaches and they did a great job encouraging him. Coach Matt especially really made him look forward to every practice. We're sad to leave San Diego and this program but glad we found it. read more

Overall a fun way to learn and implement soccer as a hobby. I love how all the coaches teach with passion.

I really enjoyed the opportunity for my daughter (5 yrs) to learn some soccer skills without a huge emphasis on playing the game right off the bat. They introduce soccer skills at an appropriate level through fun games and positive reinforcement. Coach Bryan and his partner (blonde pony tail) are wonderful with this group of kids. They speak to them at an age-appropriate level, keeping them engaged, and encouraging them to have fun. My daughter does not seem to have a competitive bone while in class but she has so much fun and trusts and enjoys these coaches. When they do a scrimmage toward the end of the class, they often "freeze" the game to provide instructional learning as to what went right or what could be better. Watching the class at the next level, I can see the coaching style change a bit, but I do believe it is an age appropriate level, as they encourage teamwork while teaching more in depth skills. They strongly and positively reinforce all acts of sportsmanship and teamwork, which I think is so important when learning a sport or being a part of a team. Thank you to all of the coaches out there working with these kids and having all the patience in the world. read more

This is a review for kids league 8 to 10 which has 8 games. thought that the kids would be taught some soccer rules have some practice before games. If that's what your looking for don't come here. You are basically renting the field with other players. They play 8 games together. Practice about 10 minutes before a game and then start playing. The coach is a volunteer of one of the kids parents. I was told the coach basically makes sure each kid plays. Now I would give this three stars because my kid does like playing soccer and he can get practice by playing. however I have deducted one star due to an unfair practice. Evidently one of the teams has continued to play together. I heard this was because the teams coach "knows people". While the teams are supposed to be shuffled. The shuffle allows each team to get certain level of players so there is a good mix. This team obviously is better then every team. I believe they have more players as well. Your can tell the kids on the team playing them aren't having fun and in the end basically start giving up. If you do decide to play I would suggest not to show up on the day you play this team. It kills the kids confidence playing them. Because of the above my kid will do his 8 games and we will find a league that is fair. I know it shouldn't matter but it annoys me immensely how unfair it is. I can not get past it so I will find a new spot. read more

NCSP has been such a great place for my daughter! We started playing about 1.5 years ago and this was my daughters first sport, so she was a little nervous starting but the staff (summer) made her feel very welcomed and loved. They also have great coaches skills classes have helped so much! We love the whole team at NCSP. read more

NCSP is awesome. John, the Director, and all the coaches on staff are incredibly nice. They are very patient with the kids, have high energy, and you can tell they care. Had my 2 kids do the free trial class. They loved it so much and to see how the whole staff was friendly, we signed them up for the season right away. My 2 kids are 3 and 4 years old. They are in the beginners class (Hoppers). read more

Great people and great attitude. Have been bringing my kids here for years! Coaches are very professional. Kids love it !will come back again ! read more

Our son has been with North Country Soccer since he was 18 months. Fast forward, he's now in his skills class all in a matter of 3 years. The coaches are wonderful. Majority of the coaches are college students who have high energy and awesome with kids. read more

Little Kickers review for ESCONDIDO ( which is run by NCSP) The NCSP and their little kickers franchise that they own, rent out one of the fields at the Escondido Sports Complex for little kicker camps. This is my review for that. After having my kids play in soccer leagues in Escondido I was having some reservations on their ability to learn real soccer skills and have fun. Escondido league Coaches have a tough time even showing up for practice, and when they do show up it's basically green light, red light drills. Then there are a few super coaches where yelling and over-competitiveness are common. In either case, I thought we needed some more specialized coaching from someone outside The Escondido Rec Center. Enter little kickers. We saw a flyer for little kickers in Escondido and I thought this would be good for my three year old seeing she was new to sports and a little shy. I'm so happy I went with Little Kickers.. The coaches are very supportive of the kids ( about 5-7 in a class). For the little kids they focus on working as a team and focusing on basic coordination skills. My kid loved it! So, I noticed that my other kids were starting to struggle in their older age leagues ( because lack of structured practice) so I went ahead and put them in Little Kickers too.. Again, the coaches are very supportive and build confidence. The older Little kickers play scrimmages which is pretty fun. My older kids are starting to pass the ball to other teammates and learning proper technique.. They also work up a good sweat. Recommended - If your kids are shy - If your kids are new to soccer - if you just want them to get some extra exercise. - Highly recommended if you play in an organized league like Escondido but want some more personalized instruction. read more

I love ncsp!! I play in the adult coed mini field league. It's so much fun! You play 4x4 with two guys and two girls at a time. They are two 22 min halves I beleive . The park is free for those who want to come and watch (unlike sportsplex which charges everybody 2.50 to enter the park!!) And even the players league fees is not that bad! You basically have your team fee for the 8 week season and then a 7 ref fee every week per team (so like a dollar a person if you have subs) But everybody starts to get to know each other and its a super cool friendly (outside the field ;) he he ) time. I want to start a coed team on the big field too 6x6!! Id play there every night if I could! read more

North County Soccer Park - Mini field adult coed - Amateur Sports Teams Near Me - Poway, California

NCSP is hands down my favorite place to play indoor soccer. The amount of leagues they offer is insane. There are competitive leagues for all ages, women's leagues, men's leagues and several coed leagues (also for all ages). The turf on both the big and mini field are in great condition and the staff is extremely friendly. I have played at Sportsplex, as well as a few other places, but I always find myself coming back to NCSP! Not only are the leagues awesome, but so are the classes for the little ones! I actually work with a few people who have kids registered in the little kickers and little sluggers classes. They have learned the basics of soccer and/or baseball at such a young age and they have a blast every time they are there! You can walk around and see smiles everywhere. It is super cute to watch the babies play!! I have heard nothing but great things about the little kicker classes! Especially as far as instructors go! If you have young kids (all ages), there is definitely a soccer class for them at NCSP! And if you like to play too, go check them out! read more

We enjoy NCSP. My son plays in the cotton tail and jack rabbit team for two years. We love coach Julie she is the best. I also play in the adult league here on Tuesday and it is a blast for new players. This place is fairly organized but overall we have had a great experience. We even scheduled a private birthday party event here for my sons birthday party. We recommend NCSP to family and friends. Honest business if it rains they refund class no questions asked. Ethical reputable small business owned. FOR COVID Coaches wear masks and players 2 and up upon arrival They take temperatures for everyone They socially distance the children The games are contactless which is awesome We are happy with the standards they follow they exceed our expectations. Areas for growth Communication Treat paying customers respectfully they messed up on inputting our numbers multiple times. Instead of asking one of the owners was upset treating me like a child saying we emailed you we need your team numbers. I showed him I emailed them in way before they even requested them and they made our jerseys. Then I gave them to someone in person and showed him who. It's important but it's important to be friendly and keep paying customers happy. I always recommend people to this place and brought 12 close family and friends to play in your league. Maybe I caught him on a bad day! read more

This soccer park has had/is having such a outstanding impact on my daughter. The program is inclusive, affordable, and keeps my daughter from feeling left out of much more pricey leagues that most naturally can't afford. This a pivotal time in her life and the staff, their methods and the evolving structure of the skills classes have permanently changed my daughters life. She's healthier, happier and more confident! I can't say enough good things about this up and coming sports plex of Poway!! They stay the same but change only to maximize improvement for the kids. read more

I had a negative experience and found the owner to be defensive and not helpful at all. It's unfortunate, but there are plenty of other soccer programs in the area that we have Had quite a lot of success with. Perhaps if Dave would invest a bit more time and energy in hiring more management that could be on site and providing support to the young coaches and refs, then there would be more safety and fun for everyone involved. At this point, it seems like it's more of a numbers game than a soccer program. read more

Unfortunately this place is going downhill fast. The owner Dave is not in tune with what's going on here and passes the blame onto his teenagers who he hired to run the place. Leadership starts at the top Dave. Rather than taking ownership for the business he owns, we were told that his manager who he just "fired" made a mistake in telling us we could have my husband and sons coach. We signed up with this program for this reason only, to be told 4 games in that wasn't the case. Clearly Dave is MIA and rather than making it right for his customers, he passes the buck onto his staff. We will be finishing this season out and not returning. read more

My two sons have played at NCSP for 3 seasons now and both have a great affinity for the game and are both dedicated team players. This last season our experience has gone from fair to shocked and dismayed. All teams are managed by parent coaches, some of whom truly have a passion for their children's experience while sadly others are competitive enough to actually support, condone and encourage unsportsman like behavior. The real problem is that even after bringing this to the attention of staff and management at NCSP zero action nor even concern was expressed. My boys are young athletes and I was not in favor of encouraging them to respond in kind (while they are physically larger and well capable of doing so) After looking a little more closely at the relationships between the staff and management it became clear that their personal friendships drive the calls made on the field. The lesson learned and taught to my boys is that life is not always fair. Having said all the above there is also something to be noted about the run down facilities, single unisex bathroom, extreme deferred maintenance throughout the facility very poor unhealthy food and snack choices made available. If its a fun, fair and healthy experience you seek for your kids this is without a doubt not the place you want to bring your family to and there are many other superior alternatives in and around the area. read more
