The team has taught him to take pride in his actions and to always strive for success. They take the time out to show him how to grow as a player and as a man. Great all around

GREAT coaching!! GREAT family vibe! My son recently joined the Brooklyn Titans 12u team. He was…read morefortunate enough to attend the 4-day overnight football camp. I was really nervous about letting him go away with the team because he's tiny, he had never played football before, and I wasn't sure how he would fit in with a team full of kids who had been playing together for 3-4 years. My fears were immediately quelled when we picked him up from the bus after camp had ended. Coach Moore is fantastic! He challenges and encourages the players to strive to be their best. He gives them feedback on ways to improve and he really breaks things down so they can understand. A true teacher! I was especially impressed when I learned the organization provides a bus to take players/families to/from games. This would certainly have been a FIVE star review if the certification process wasn't soooo long. (which may or may not be a reflection on the program) OVERALL: A wonderful local program with great coaches, mentors, and fantastic players/families. Highly recommend!

If you're not a member, you need to know a member to get into the club, but that shouldn't dissuade you on how friendly the people there are. If you want to be a member, there are pre-requisites, such as proximity to the club and knowing someone who is already a member (sponsor). With membership, you have access to the club as well as the private boat launch/ramp. Inside the club, you'll find a magnificent bar, staffed with some phenomenal people, as well as a full service kitchen. The views from the bar of the barnegat bay and Toms River are soecatcular, by far some of the best in the area. The food is good and the drinks are plentiful....it's a great spot in the area. They also care about the community, with sponsorships for a lot of local organizations as well as the police department. This club is a great place for the community and it's members are some of the nicest people on the Toms River!

I've played in these leagues for over a year now, so it kind of hurts to leave a bad review since…read moremy time hasn't been completely awful. However, as some reviews have pointed out, the refs can be very bad and make very biased calls. I've been ran into full speed in the back on breakaways, challenges that could've seriously injured me, only for the ref to call it a fair challenge. Meanwhile, if I challenge someone shoulder to shoulder in a fair play, it's called a foul if my opponent flails enough and looks at the ref. If I were you, I'd avoid Bedford Armory and Lower East Side, where I had experiences with those bad refs. The Brooklyn Bridge one was ok maybe 30% of the time (literally gave me a yellow card for defending his call while ignoring the entire opposing team hollering at him for it). The officials tend to ref the same fields every week. You risk getting injured due to the random nature of their officiating and inability to control games. I'm not sure if it's due to improper training or bias towards certain groups of players and favor towards others as some have pointed out. Whatever it is, it is completely unacceptable for me personally. My dad tore his ACL playing in his adulthood -- I don't want that to happen to me. I may try one more season if a good discount ever rolls around again, but I think I'll see how the refs and players are like around the other NYC leagues afterwards before deciding to come back ever again. It is what it is. I don't expect this review will be received by ownership well, but idrc at this point. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Please remember that before you crash out on this, Tarek.

Tarek, I am not Yelp poster…read moreJohn D - that is not a fake account made by me and I'm not sure what lead you to believe I'd go through the lengths to do something like that. Please stop these assumptions and attempts to tarnish my reputation. I think you've already done enough. While it's unnecessary & futile to defend my character, I'll do it once more anyway. I decided to NOT leave an online review until now because I was still planning to play in the league. Yes we've had disagreements but I wasn't going to let that keep me from playing soccer. I enjoyed the location / day of week & didn't need to be a sore loser about you clearly not being a huge fan of me. But it seems you had another idea in mind and it appears you attempted to ban the team from joining again (as we planned) based off of some pretty unfair reasoning and false accusation. It seems you have tried to punish them for continuing their relationship with me. It appears you were successful in forcing them to choose - me or continue playing soccer at that location on Sundays. I have decide to speak up now after learning of what happened and hearing what you've been telling people that I've done - I feel others have the right to know how players like me are being treated behind the scenes. I'm going to go ahead and attach the email that Tarek has referenced & some screenshots for full transparency, along with the following clarifications to his claims for anyone still reading all of this nonsense: - Our team did show up for our last game during the downpour. I was there. I walked to the field with a sub for your team actually, a blonde woman, from Russia or Switzerland I believe? We laughed at the waterfall of water coming from the bridge underpass - it broke my umbrella. She asked if I was on [YOUR TEAM NAME] and I said no. She said someone from your team, a coworker of hers, had reached out the night before and asked if she could help because the team didn't have enough players. I met my captains at the sidelines and they let me know they had just forfeited - we were only able to get 4 of our roster there with the crazy weather, that much of what you said is true. The field was already flooding at that point. The rest of the team assumed the game would be rescheduled and didn't want to make the walk from the train in the downpour. It never was. - I did not demand field support in an email to you, the ball comment was an off hand comment. A small part in a larger email that was addressing the increasingly shorter & shorter game times we were experiencing. (Context: If D1 & D2 games before us ran long - our D3 games would be shortened on the fly to make up for the time.) I get that my emails must have been very annoying to you but you have misrepresented how I acted & how you had actually replied. Throughout our emails you had always implied that sharing my feedback was helpful to the league as it was growing. I had thought that I would be allowed to voice these concerns field side as well but I learned the hard way that I should NOT have talked to you right after you had just finished playing. So Let's wrap this up & move to that. - I feel your recall is incorrect regarding our field side interaction. I wasn't angry that we lost (we lost 90% of our games, we got used to it fast). I was angry that several times during the game, you made calls and stopped play on behalf of the ref. At one point in the heat of competition, you threw the ball off the field so our team had to chase the ball down. I felt you abused your powers as an owner to advantage yourself & your team. After the game - I asked if I could speak to you and you said yes. I tried to talk but you realized I was voicing a complaint and cut me off right away. I tried to continue so you repeated "just find another league" over and over, louder and louder, until teammates of yours surrounded me and told me to walk away. I apologized, admitted it was stupid to try to talk to you then and walked away.
