In all my years as both a player and a coach, I have not seen another institution such as HP Elite and Beyond when it comes to elite soccer training. I've seen player after player emerge from this program to become incredibly successful people with careers in soccer ranging from players to coaches and trainers. I personally take my youth teams that I coach to train with HP every off-season and most of my more dedicated players take part in their training clinics year-round. There's honestly no better soccer training company in Northern Virginia for youth players. The trainers are all young, experienced, talented players who not only relate to youth players but have a way of inspiring them to reach a level of potential even higher than what they're capable of. 6 Stars if I could give it to them.

FRAUD ALERT! AC Milan Academy is a nightmare! My son was…read moreoffered a spot after a tryout and we paid in full ($2900 registration, $86.92 processing fees, $450 uniform costs). At the first practice things changed dramatically. 1. During the tryout he was led to believe he was trying out for a team in his age group. However, it turned out to be a composite team of all ages, including much younger players. 2. He was led to believe that the coaches at the tryout (Davide Battistini, William Pulisic, Alan Orth) would be coaching his team. Yes, that's right, Pulisic, a relation of Christian Pulisic. At the practice he learned that a previously unknown individual would be the coach. ...what a scam! 3. During drills and play at the tryout the coaches demanded a high skill level leading us to believe this was the standard of the Academy. At the practice there were different ages and skill levels, nothing approaching the level of play that was demanded at the tryout. 4. The coaches at the tryout led us to believe that the team was already established and that they were looking for potential additions. In reality, they have no game-ready team and have thus forfeited the first 3 NCSL games. 5. Emails and text messages were sent concerning the refund policy that were never answered. 6. No communication possible. Ali Dean McDaniel is responsible for the club but is unreachable by phone. By an unannounced office visit I was told by the receptionist "Yes, he's here, have a seat I'll tell him you are here". However, after she disappeared back to the offices for a few minutes she returned and said "He's not here and I don't know when he will be back".

The parking is plenty but always filled - they did expand a bit into the gravel for more slots. A lot of people come to play competitive volleyball and indoor soccer leagues. They have pretty consistent competition + level of play. But the facility itself could definitely use some work. For starters, the indoors aren't ventilated that well; it can get super hot and muggy in the summer and pretty cold in the winter. The ceilings are only high in the middle courts for volleyball and is a bit short of a court so not much room to maneuver well. There is also a ledge along the side to put your stuff - but it will definitely be hit by balls here and there. I believe years ago you had to make an ID card which now run for about $5 a piece to play - but I haven't had any referees asking for those yet. The referees also just stand on the ground and rarely call for doubles/net :( hopefully some changes will be made for a fair judging system! They do have an electronic scoreboard to check up with - which is nice. Overall, I would recommend 5/10 for facility choice but 8/10 for league level play!

When we first registered a volleyball team at the Sportsplex, I should have taken our registration…read moreelsewhere. Upon entering the facility, I was told to give the check to someone in a side office (presumably the manager) who greeted me with a "I don't want to see you!" when I said I was interested in entering a new team. However, we still registered for several seasons as the Sportsplex was conveniently located for our players who at the time were coming in from Nova, Maryland, and DC. The longer our team played at the Sportsplex, the worse our officiating got. In the beginning, we had some decent officials who knew the game and made fair calls. Toward the end of our time, we were getting officials who had no clue about lifts, number of hits, proper hand signals, etc. Officials also let players pretty much run into the court to serve instead of calling feet going over the line. We also had a few officials who were just plain rude, and certain ones who would arrive very late which would cut into our playing time that we had paid for, but made sure our game ended on time. If you enter a team, please also be aware that there are no rosters, so some people sub all night and play across all divisions. We were in a mid-level division, but would often face teams who had upper level players, and strangely enough this tended to happen when the games mattered for a playoff spot. The Sportsplex was also very dirty when we played there. If you dive for a ball, expect to get up covered in grit. There is no air conditioning in the summer, and during the winter certain spots on the court are like being under a heat lamp. The overhead nets over the volleyball court are also annoying. We ended up moving our team to a league in the western part of the county and are much happier with the league, officials, and facilities there.
