We love DUSC summer camp. The coaches all love soccer and make the day really fun. My 6-year-old…read morecame home happy and exhausted after each day. My child had tons of fun, made a lot of different friends, loved his coaches, and learned a lot of soccer skills. Each day they play soccer, learn new soccer skills, have some kind of activity (e.g., watching a soccer video, cheering as the coaches vs. assistant coaches play a game, a talent show), and go to the local splashpad. As the earlier review mentioned - definitely don't send your kid in expensive cleats or clothing! But, they usually do change into water shoes and swimsuits. A great choice for active kids who love being outside. Plus, if you register early the price is really affordable.

Kind of a difficult review to give because I found that the soccer training was very good but the…read morecamp experience and the counselors were terrible. At the end of the day when I picked up my son, the counselor didn't address me at all except to ask who I was here for. No, "Your son had a good day" or "He should work on this" No interaction with me as a parent at all. My son also came home after the first day soaked with his $175 leather cleats ruined because the counselors/coaches let him in the sprinklers with his uniform on, Pads and all. I understand that a 9 year old should be responsible for changing but my son told me that they were rushed to the sprinklers with no time to change and that almost all of the other kids were getting wet with their uniforms on as well. Lastly, they didn't seem to be keeping an eye on the kids with the sun. I guess my son forgot to put on his sunscreen but he came home burnt to a crisp. We've been to a couple of different camps over the last 2 years and the counselors/coaches are pretty well versed in dealing with forgetful 9 year olds and they understand that parents want to be spoken to. Strong soccer. Terrible camp experience.

I walked into the adidas store on Broadway fully ready to cosplay as a World Cup superfan... you…read moreknow, the kind that screams at the TV like the coach can hear me through my living room. The store itself? Massive. Clean. Feels like a shrine to sneakers and athletic greatness. You walk in and immediately feel like you should be warming up for a Champions League match instead of heading to brunch. Now let's talk World Cup gear. They definitely had World Cup apparel, but the selection felt like it was going through a mild identity crisis. Some racks were loaded with national team jerseys, scarves, and training gear--Argentina, Germany, Mexico... the usual heavy hitters. But then you'd turn a corner expecting a global soccer explosion and instead find... hoodies. Just hoodies. Regular hoodies. Like the World Cup took a lunch break. If you're hunting for a specific team or player jersey, it's a bit of a gamble. They've got solid staples, but don't expect every country, every kit, every size. It's more "greatest hits album" than full discography. The staff were friendly enough--definitely helpful if you asked--but not aggressively pushing soccer gear like it's stoppage time. Which is nice, but also... I needed someone to yell "GOOOOOAL" when I found my size. Pros: * Clean, well-organized flagship vibe * Solid selection of popular World Cup teams * Plenty of general adidas soccer gear if you just want to look sporty while ordering takeout Cons: * Selection can feel hit-or-miss depending on team/size * Not as soccer-overloaded as you might expect for a NYC flagship Final verdict: If you're in Manhattan and need World Cup gear quickly, this spot will absolutely get you match-ready. But if you're looking for a super deep, every-nation-represented soccer paradise, you might leave feeling like you hit the crossbar instead of the back of the net. 4/5 -- solid, but not quite a hat trick

Hopped on the F train from Queens walked up the stairs and I was standing right out front. I walked in asked a few questions, the boy requested the sambas and we left in like 15 minutes flat with a brand new pair of sambas and a smile. They had many options, it was clean and the staff was super energetic everyone was busy. The store was also super busy but well lit and well stocked. Definitely would highly recommend 5/5.

We came to Fieldhouse to attend a birthday party. It's was located inside Pier 62 at Chelsea Piers…read more The location was really popular for kids, as we saw a bunch doing different activities, like soccer games, gymnastics and cage batting. The facility had several soccer turf fields, gymnastics area, and couple of basketball courts. The lobby area had a ton of awards, medals and trophies that all the teams won. There were multiple vending machines as well. There were several party rooms at the back side. The rest rooms were kids friendly, as they had mini sinks at lower height for smaller kids. There were multiple staff members assigned to conduct the party. First they took the kids to basket ball courts where they did some relay running, played dodgeball and then did rope tug wars. They took the kids to fountains for water break few times. After the activities, the kids went back to party room where they were served pizzas, fruits, cheese platter, juice and sodas. The pizzas were decent. Finally they orchestrated the birthday song, assisted with cake cutting ceremony and handed slices of cakes to everyone. Overall the service from them was nice.

After that we went back to the party room for pizza and cake. Overall great place for sports and having party. They did a great job.

I heard good things about zogsports but was pretty disappointed with my Sunday kickball league in…read moreCentral Park. The first part i was disappointed was the lack of communication. We were supposed to start the game on Sunday and we didn't receive a confirmation email about our roster and start times until Thursday night around 8 pm. In addition , the league did a terrible job of balancing the rosters. There were 3 teams in our coed league and one other team consisted of free agents. We had 4 girls on our team and the other team had 8 girls on theirs. Usually this is fine but league rules has it that you need at least 3 girls to play on defense and a girl has to kick once every 4 turns. Also one of our games the ref was late over an hour. Finally , they schedule double headers so the games run late. We had to call two of our games since they were running late. One we couldn't see anything in the pitch dark so we called it for a safety issue. The other game we had to end our playoff game early. We had a chance to kick since we were bottom of the inning but zogsports referee said since the Game was running late whoever scores first wins the game. Felt like we got cheated. It doesn't help that they take 30 minutes plus to explain the rules each game. They also have happy hour deals after the game but the bars are so far away it's not feasible.

I've only ever played in football leagues with Social (since 2012)…read more Shout out to PJ and his crew for what they've done over the past couple of seasons, making Monday's a very unique and personalized experience for fellow players and myself. Customizing the medals to correlate with each season seems so simple in practice, but it really makes you feel like you are playing for something that not everyone is going to get every three months. On the field, he and the crew are ALWAYS hospitable and available for questions or concerns and that can't be said for every day-to-day interaction that we all have in life, let alone in our various paid adventures. But the camaraderie shown doesn't end on the field, that crew brings it to the bar creating a postgame atmosphere that allows you to be whichever social character that you want to be, whether you be introverted or extroverted. I will say the only thing stopping me from giving the league 5 stars is the silly rule in place where if the score is 6 points or fewer within 2 minutes, it's a pro clock, but if it's 7 or 8 (which is still a one-possession game), it's a running clock.

Volo Sports NYC Soccer League at Sternberg Park is a Total Scam!! Avoid at All Costs and Start Your…read moreOwn League Instead. If you're considering soccer at Sternberg Park, save your money and start your own amateur league. You won't be wasting $150+ per person for Goals that blow away in the wind Fields marked by crooked plastic cones A referee who doesn't move and can't see the game An automated phone line that never connects you to a person "Weather updates" that are completely inaccurate A league that lets certain players jump from team to team A referee who plays favorites and dismisses legitimate complaints based on your accent. If you're considering signing up for Volo Sports NYC's Sternberg Park soccer league, DON'T. It's a rip off, a disorganised mess, and borderline corrupt. Our team showed up to play one night only to find the field covered in snow. Despite this, we were ready to play. The Volo referee and rep on-site told us it was too dangerous and the game was rescheduled. We did not refuse to play we were sent home. A few days later, Volo dug themselves into a hole by claiming our team "chose not to play" and that all games had gone ahead as scheduled. This was either a blatant lie or something even worse the referee deliberately sent us home while allowing other games to go ahead. We also raised concerns about the referee's ongoing bias against our team, especially after he made comments about our accents. This was completely ignored in Volo's responses, they outright refused to even address it. Volo's customer service is beyond useless. Their phone line is fully automated, forcing you to press option after option only to end up in a loop with no way to speak to a human. The weather hotline was also completely wrong, claiming all games were going ahead despite the fact that their own staff told us not to play. It took multiple emails for them to finally admit their mistake and reschedule the game. Instead of owning up immediately, they tried to gaslight, dismiss, and blame us. The volo rep is a nice guy, but the referee, an absolute disgrace. From the start, he had it out for us, making dismissive comments, telling us to "calm down" and shut up if we made loud calls to our own players in game. Other teams roster manipulation was a regular occurrence. Despite Volo doing a roll call before each game, the ref encouraged teams to bring in ringers and some of his own friends while acting like we were the problem for playing competitively. The second anyone points out that it's possible he may not be able to see everything by standing in one place you get threatened with a yellow card. I regularly come home with ankle cuts and bloody knees from other teams player but the referee claimed our team calls foul when any sort of physical tackle is made, it's a contact sport, the game is gone. Instead of rewarding teams that show up with full rosters, they create an environment where teams are better off showing up short handed so they can get a "ref approved" ringer subbed in. It's an absolute farce. Despite the referee's blatant attempts to stop us from making the playoffs, WE STILL DID. That's how much of a joke this league is even when they tried to manipulate the season against us, we still made it. Volo Sports NYC is not just overpriced, it's a scam. They take your money, deliver a subpar, borderline rigged experience, and then try to gaslight their own paying customers when called out. The lack of integrity, fairness, and basic customer service is shocking. One of the so called "perks" of the league is discounts at a bar. Except the bar is a mile away from the field, and the discount is literally just $1 off after you pay full price first. That's not a benefit, that's an insult. If you're looking for a well run, professional, and fair soccer league in NYC look elsewhere. I give them 1 star only because their volleyball league is pretty awesome and I'm happy to admit it.
