Our coach for our 2009 girls team is perfectly on task with exactly what our girls need, bringing each of them up to higher skill levels. Girls come from Long Island towns to Auburndale Soccer Club because they know we play to win. Girls teams here win championships because they receive superb training. This is why they climb the divisions in the NY Club Soccer League, EDP, National Premier League, and beat nearby academies like Albertson, SUSA, and East Meadow... and win the Final Four and/or NY Cup tournaments. I'm tellin' ya. Get your kid in early, start them out right on a travel team, and they'll love it, you'll make friends as parents. It's all a blessing.

UTTERLY DISAPPOINTING!!! TOTAL RIP OFF!!! I brought my son here for the first time four years ago…read more I can't believe I waited so long to write this review. The Auburndale Soccer Club coaches did a TERRIBLE job when my son joined because he knew absolutely nothing about soccer whatsoever and they failed miserably to teach the kids anything. The coach and assistants had the kids running around like chicken without heads and the kids were visibly upset because they didn't know what to do. Is this how you teach 5-6 year olds? Really?! Never ONCE did the head coach or assistant coach explain anything to the kids which was utterly shocking. We went from Day 1 and by the third game, I lost all hope and finally asked the coach why there was no direction. He said my husband or I should have had my son ask for training. Again REALLY?!? With this mentality, I might have taught my son dance lessons in my backyard with 10 monkeys in tutus!!! I was so disgusted for the lack of coaching that we gave up and ended up joining a little league instead where he is flourishing. Shame on Auburndale Soccer Club for not hiring better coaches who actually can teach the game instead of charging for lessons when there is none!

Customizing the medals to correlate with each season seems so simple in practice, but it really makes you feel like you are playing for something that not everyone is going to get every three months. On the field, he and the crew are ALWAYS hospitable and available for questions or concerns and that can't be said for every day-to-day interaction that we all have in life, let alone in our various paid adventures. But the camaraderie shown doesn't end on the field, that crew brings it to the bar creating a postgame atmosphere that allows you to be whichever social character that you want to be, whether you be introverted or extroverted. I will say the only thing stopping me from giving the league 5 stars is the silly rule in place where if the score is 6 points or fewer within 2 minutes, it's a pro clock, but if it's 7 or 8 (which is still a one-possession game), it's a running clock.

Be careful because their refund policies are awful. I'm requesting a chargeback from my credit card company because I no longer want to participate. I don't know who manages this organization, but it's clearly managed by adult babies who are unable to address poor staff or player behavior. Attending staff are useless - they don't care about the rules. There are some regular players there hogging up court time or wanting to play with their friends and not allowing equal court time to newcomers. Bunch of old farts acting like entitled grade schoolers. Staff are constantly on their phones and are just there to collect a measly paycheck. Utterly useless.

Most recently, they discounted a couple of players by nearly all of the membership fee. To offset the loss they made the other players pay hundreds more. I was told it was director hussman's decision. The irony is, after the first tourney, one of the players (who got the massive discount) quit. While at a tournament, i heard hussman get asked by a mom 'the team keeps losing. what's going on w the team?' He pointed his finger at the players and listed their faults. It was shameful. Fyi, there's really no speak on college stuff. The college that they hv any connection to is the director's former college. You should call and ask and decide for yourself/kid. In the end, what's important is that they stretch the players. I'm not concerned about falling into line and hv the facade that everything's okay. Sportime volleyball needs to do better.

Glutton's Guide to Getting Burned: Our $4,000 Spike to the Face at 516 Elite Volleyball…read more If you're in the market for a youth sports experience that blends the chaos of bad reality TV with the organizational prowess of a middle school bake sale -- all at a luxury price point -- may I humbly suggest 516 Elite Volleyball? For just $4,000 (a small price to pay for disillusionment), we signed up for what was advertised as "elite" and were instead treated to a masterclass in mismanagement, where the only thing elite was the grift. Let's start with the roster. In a bold departure from, you know, every other volleyball program in the country, 516 Elite decided to jam 40% more players onto every team, turning what should have been competitive court time into a human game of musical chairs. Except the music was cursing. And the chairs were broken. The coaching? A refreshing mix of apathy and profanity. Nothing says "player development" quite like grown adults dropping f-bombs at teenage girls, then wondering why the team chemistry feels off. Spoiler: it's not the girls. Tournaments? Oh, we went. We packed the car, paid the hotel, sat on uncomfortable bleachers, and watched our team get absolutely annihilated in every single match. And the best part? Sometimes we traveled hours just to play... another team from 516 Elite. Imagine flying to Italy and eating Olive Garden. That's the level of thoughtfulness here. Growth? Development? Positivity? Structure? Nonexistent. This wasn't a team -- it was a tax write-off with knee pads. No leadership, no feedback, no strategy -- just a long, slow drain on time, energy, and the will to believe in youth sports. By season's end, we weren't just disappointed -- we were furious. Not because we didn't win, but because no one cared. Not the club. Not the coaches. Certainly not the program director, who seemed far more focused on collecting checks than building character. Verdict: If you enjoy watching your child regress, feel invisible, and question why they ever loved the game in the first place, 516 Elite is your jam. Otherwise? Run. And don't look back. Final Score: 0 wins, 0 growth, 0 stars.

The reason why they renamed themselves is because they're horrible at what they do. Their coaches are terrible. This club cost over $6000 last year. Between the ~$4000 in club costs (fee, uniforms, pre-season practice sessions) and the trips. I don't mind the spend as long as they deliver what they promised, training. They didn't. In fact, they broke the spirit of multiple volleyball players last year that did not come back this year. At the end of the season, my daughter threw away all her volleyball gear that she had the B&B Volleyball logo - it mad her sick to look at it and she never wanted to see it again. She was on the only open "D" team that lost just about every game in every tournament. Her coaches (Carlos and Jessica) only played their daughter or the same starters. The team had ~14 players but they only played the same 6 who kept losing. I had one of the coaches (Jessica) tell me I was lucky she doesn't punch me in my face (because I approached her after a game). This coach's (Jessica) daughter was on the team, and that's all she was interested in. The other coach (Carlos) was actually an A-Team coach covering the D team too. Needless to say, they were not his priority. Carlos only played the same six players the whole season, his starters and then spoke poorly of the other players. There was another very horrible situation attached to this club, but we won't get in to that here... most likely why they changed the name of the club. They are a horrible club.
