The program does a great job focusing primarily on letting the kids have fun, and is not too focused on competition for the younger kids. This allows the kids to learn fundamentals at their own pace without external pressure that can take their enjoyment away.
Coach A and Coach Alfred are awesome. They have great personalities and try to make every player feel welcome and comfortable. They have a fantastic ability to read individual skill levels and provide excellent guidance to improve those skills. They have great situational awareness of their teams and provide equal attention to each player regardless of skill level. They clearly have a passion for soccer and coaching.
I'm always a fan of constructive criticism because there's always room for improvement but it's difficult to provide it for the coaches so I'll focus on the environment. Access to public restrooms is a must. Especially, for those with multiple children in back to back sessions. 2+ hours without a bathroom is a problem.
The coaches of the 3-4 year olds have been great! They are so patient with the kids and do phenomenally helping the kids transition from one activity to the next. This is a tough age to keep kids on track. They do a great job keeping things fun! I can really see the confidence in the kids building.
The only change I would make to is to reduce the time to 45-50 minutes rather than 1 hour. It’s tough keeping the kids attention for that long.
The coaches were amazing and made sure my 8yr old is enjoying his time on the court while also picking up basic volleyball techniques which are complex to explain and demonstrate to an 8 year old!
