The coaches are really great at working with the kids and at encouraging them and having fun while also laying a groundwork for solid soccer skills. I have one son in the Diamonds league (4-7) and one son in the Toddlers Program (2-3). We love both programs. They are age-appropriate, tailored to the kids' abilities, and very focused around both improvement and encouragement. Both coaches of the diamonds have taken time with my son, who is sometimes reluctant to participate, to encourage him to come back out onto the field and keep trying. The toddlers' coach is energetic, patient, and comes up with great games to encourage the kiddos to join him. Very happy with the program and strongly recommend as a beginners' introduction to soccer.

Horrible camp for throwing. We spent $300 and they don't even check campers in. You could literally…read morewalk in and the "coaches" would not know. The coaches are only student athletes, which is fine if you're just looking for something to do. UCLA is using this "camp" to make a quick dime. In other camps, the coaches are actual coaches for Olympic athletes. This camp made discus/shot put throwers spend majority of the time running and training with the runners, instead of learning throwing technique. You don't learn much and for $300, don't even get a shirt or feel much camp culture. We would have been better off spending our effort, time, and money going to the San Francisco camp.

She fine tuned footing, breathing, movement, vaults, and hurdles, while coming home sore as the challenge progressed. The camp is held at Drake Stadium. My daughter's Track and Field RBUSD middle school coach had her son enrolled here too! Her husband is the RBUSD head high school track coach. They both had amazing things to say about UCLA coaches; what a testament! If you're thinking about it, just do it! You'll love it, and the kids are sure to remember the college exposure. Money well spent.

PSA's goal is to get the kids adept at ball control which forms the foundation for great soccer players. I'm no soccer player but my husband is and a good one at that. Being Italian, he is highly opinionated about coaching techniques and he acknowledges Coach Andrew's methods. Our 5 year old daughter has taken 3 sessions to date. She loves the classes and has improved exponentially over a short period. My 3 year old son just completed his first session. We went in with low expectations but Coach Andrew has him hooked. I remember Coach Andrew telling me at the beginning that his goal is to have kids loving the sport...and with my kids, he has succeeded. My kids look forward to the classes and have fun while learning and through the challenges which is vital to their success on the field. It's a no-frills class and PSA is real about teaching kids the art of soccer.

I felt this camp was just a cash grab piggybacking on the brand name of Real Madrid. My son…read moreattended the UCLA location (oddly marketed as "Beverly Hills" which is incorrect and a red flag). Check in on the first day was disorganized and did not start on time. Lines of parents trying to figure out which station to check in at, no one from the team taking charge to corral everyone, someone simply shouted vague instructions, and everyone was confused . When I went to get clarity, one of the guys said "I'm just a photographer!" and held up his hands... talk about not being a team player. When I asked for a receipt via email for my tax records, they sent me a PayPal receipt that did not even say the name Real Madrid camp nor Euro Soccer-- it looked like a generic receipt without any identifying marks, . So I had to I asked again for a formal invoice with EIN. This may seem like a minor inconvenience, but says something about how there is not a level of prep/readiness or organization behind the scenes. This is also camp where kids need to be self starters and take initiative . if your child is on the shy side and does not take proactive steps, this may not be the camp for them. The week at the camp was extremely hot in the sun, with no shade, except for some tents. My child said he was not briefed on safety measures and overheating, I felt that the coaches should have briefed everyone in advance that if they feel too hot, they should take a break. They kept pushing my son into goalkeeping and he did not want to do it, but he did not feel empowered to say no as they simply instruct the kids to go to those positions and don't have the time to ask them their preferences, or get to know them. It is a one week camp after all so there is a very high camper to counselor ratio and very little personalization. They do not know the campers individually, but I don't fault them for this--There are simply just too, too many kids. Combined with the crazy traffic at getting to UCLA, this just didn't feel like what my child needed to improve his skills. Again, this is my opinion only-- it felt impersonal. other people may feel differently.

It's clear that Coach Dan not only has real player experience, but he effectively draws on those experiences to spot specific issues that my daughter is struggling with, provides practical tips (for technique and strategy) and does all of this in a way that is engaging and gets through to my daughter. He does not rely on a specific playbook that he follows no matter who the student is, but rather, will spend time reviewing game footage and talking to me and my daughter to understand our needs and desired outcomes. He loves the sport and teaching children, and it shows.
