    We found PSA through our Charter School! It was during my son's first soccer season & first sport…read moreever! He was very timid and lacked confidence when he first joined! After a few visits, connection with coaches & other players it quickly became something he begged me to attend weekly! The program is very well organized, has great communication & provides support for the players and parents! Erika is a delight to work with and is very welcoming! My kids look forward to seeing her each session! This is a training program that teaches the kids skills on & off the field! The coaches focus on player development & skills that go beyond just winning the game! Coach Adam has played a crucial role in my children's soccer skills and behavior on the field & at home! He is very patient with the littles & creates a fun learning environment! We've had some 1v1s with him & look forward to working with him more! Both of my children feel seen & heard from all of the coaches! The other players also offer patience and guidance towards one another! My oldest has gained a lot of confidence on & off the field, has a better understanding of body mechanics and has become better at communicating with adults & piers! His skills on the field have drastically improved within the 5 months of being with PSA & I credit Coach's Adam, Harry & Rob for that! We're very blessed and thankful to have found this program and look forward to having PSA as part of our growth and development! -The facilities here are clean and accessible to all body types & needs! Plenty of parking & space for all parents & siblings! There are a few playgrounds as well to utilize! All around a great environment during training and if you decide to stick around after!

    As a parent, I can confidently say that Prospect Soccer Academy has been a true blessing to our…read morefamily. The coaching staff is exceptional--knowledgeable, passionate, and deeply committed to each player's development. The training is top-tier, focusing not only on technical and tactical soccer skills but also on building confidence and a strong work ethic. What truly sets Prospect Soccer apart is their holistic approach to development. Beyond academics and fútbol, the academy offers a well-rounded curriculum that includes entrepreneurship, financial literacy, public speaking, character development, and mental strength. These life skills are just as valuable as what's taught on the field, and they've made a huge impact on our son's growth as both an athlete and an individual. The classroom teachers are also incredibly helpful, patient, and kind. They create a supportive learning environment that complements the values taught on the field. The environment is positive, professional, and inspiring. I highly recommend Prospect Soccer Academy, to any parent seeking more than just soccer training--it's a community that builds champions on and off the field.

    This is my daughter's first year playing club soccer, and it has been such a positive experience!…read moreCoach Brandon R. has been absolutely wonderful with the girls--patient, kind, empathetic, and incredibly knowledgeable about the game. The confidence my daughter has gained under his coaching has made a noticeable difference--not just on this team, but on another team she plays for as well. I've received so many compliments about her growth, and it's clear that Coach Brandon has played a huge part in that. We are truly grateful for the time, effort, and heart he puts into coaching. Thank you, Coach Brandon!

    I rarely leave negative reviews, but other parents deserve to know about our experience…read more My child participated in SoCal Red's PCA program last season, and because our previous experience had been positive, we registered and paid for the Fall season without hesitation. Unfortunately, what happened afterward completely changed our opinion of the organization. For the tournament, the original team was divided into two separate teams. There is nothing inherently wrong with splitting a team if necessary. The problem was that the players were not divided evenly based on skill level. Instead of creating two balanced teams, the stronger players were concentrated on one side while the other team was left at a significant disadvantage. The consequences were obvious from the very beginning. Throughout the tournament, our team repeatedly struggled and gradually lost confidence. As parents, we watched children become increasingly discouraged game after game. Rather than focusing on learning, teamwork, and enjoying soccer, many of the children were simply trying to survive the experience. Parents spent much of the tournament encouraging the players to keep going and reminding them not to give up. What upset me most was the impact on my son. After the tournament, he was devastated and told me he no longer wanted to play soccer. This was a child who had previously loved the sport and looked forward to practices and games. Watching a child lose confidence in something they once enjoyed is heartbreaking. I later requested a refund for the Fall season because I no longer felt comfortable continuing with the program. What followed was more than a month of delays, excuses, and poor communication. After repeated follow-ups, I received only a partial refund. Once that was done, my messages were no longer being meaningfully addressed. What makes this especially disappointing is that SoCal Red promotes itself as an organization dedicated to helping every child develop confidence, enjoy the game, and grow as a player. In our experience, those values were not reflected in either the coaching decisions or the organization's response afterward. This review is not about winning and losing. Children can learn valuable lessons from both victory and defeat. The issue is that when a team is intentionally split into two groups without making a reasonable effort to balance player ability, the outcome is predictable. The children on the weaker team are placed in a situation where they are far less likely to succeed, enjoy the experience, or build confidence. Youth sports should be about development, fairness, and creating an environment where every child has the opportunity to grow. Based on our experience, SoCal Red fell far short of that standard. Parents deserve to know that before investing their time, money, and trust in this program.

    My son has played soccer for 6 years, 2 seasons with AYSO and 4 with LNYSA, and we've had amazing…read morevolunteer coaches, fair play time and both fun and competitive WINNING seasons. This year we decided to try Elite soccer league to play closer to home, and it turned out to be one of the worst experiences we've had in youth sports. Starting with fees: we paid the standard league registration fees, but right before the first practice we learned we had to pay separately for uniforms and the coach, something no other rec league has ever charged us for, and none of this was communicated upfront. Ironically only league that charged for uniforms and at the same time did not enforce uniforms, there were kids that never once wore the uniform and the coach never addressed it. Now the coaching: they surprised us with a charge for a "pro coach" but what we got was worst than any parent volunteer we've ever had. The coach did nothing but scream the entire season, shouting confusing instructions while the kids were mid play, constantly criticizing and berating them on and off the field for everyone to witness rather than 1 on 1. It was toxic, chaotic and discouraging to watch. The "pro coach" also rarely rotated positions, and never rotated certain kids out. The same kids played the same positions week after week, while others barely got play time. That's unacceptable for a recreational league. It would've been one thing if he had a winning strategy, and kids were positioned to win games, but this wasn't the case, these kids not only lost all but one game; they were absolutely obliterated by HUGE margins (1-9, 0-8, etc.), and he still wouldn't make adjustments. One kid in particular who didn't sit out the entire season, couldn't run, tripped on his own feet and moved like molasses, and no he didn't score one of the 4 goals this team made ALL SEASON, also never wore the uniform. This team played defense the entire time, and never worked on basic offensive skills. It was painful to watch and even worst for the kids' morale. Losing is part of sports and part of learning, that wasn't the issue, it was the constant chaos, negativity, the way these kids were coached (if you can call it that), poor leadership, lack of support, and a toxic tone that made it unbearable. We couldn't wait until this season was over, this was by far the most disappointing program/league we've ever encountered, and any pleasure in attending games was out the window by week two. This was a completely wasted season for my son. We were warned by another mom whose child tried Elite last year, after playing with us at LYNSA the previous 2 years, the experience was so bad her son, he lost interest in soccer all together and hasn't played since; but I never in a million years imagined it could be this bad. I can confidently say, do not waste your money and your child's time with Elite Soccer league. Overall a horrendous experience.

    I signed my six-year-old up because the website clearly promised one practice and one game a week…read more Instead, there were no practices at all. I asked for the advertised practices, and Elite said they'd set something up--but after that, they completely ghosted me despite multiple emails and texts. My son only went to one game, and it was such a disaster that he actually lost progress in just that day. Coaches were running around on the field with the kids, shouting instructions as they tried to figure things out, and the coach admitted she didn't know what she was doing and was only volunteering to avoid the cost of hiring a professional coach. This program is misleading, disorganized, and not at all what they advertise.

    Website states this but it's false advertising. "No child is left behind" is a joke. All kids are left behind unless picked by the coach!
