I contacted Arizona Soccer Skills Academy because my son was begging me for private soccer lessons…read moreover the summer. I spoke with Coach Rizzo on several occasions about it, and he kept trying to push us to the summer camp group sessions, which I made clear I did not want. Eventually, Coach Rizzo agreed to private lessons, and I registered and paid the $414 for 6 weekly lessons. After the first lesson, Coach Rizzo suggested we join the group sessions, which I took to mean in addition to the private lessons. Yesterday, we showed up for lesson #2, and Coach Rizzo was not there. When I texted him, he said he transferred us to the group sessions in lieu of private lessons, and when I objected and requested a refund, he said they don't issue refunds. So, it was a bait and switch, and I'm out hundreds of dollars. Their website says they offer private soccer lessons, but only if your child is good enough, apparently, yet they will gladly take your money and provide nothing in return. It should be noted we did attend a trail group session before registering AND PAYING FOR private lessons and then a group session after the first private lessons. We were less than impressed. The teenage coaches kept the kids in a tiny practice space, no even large enough to run in, and did extremely basic drills. (My son is 13 and has been playing recreational soccer for years.) My son was bored and not at all challenged. I do not recommend this organization.

This is just what we needed to kick start into soccer. My kids (8, 11) had no formal sports…read moreexperience. No worries here. Kids are grouped by skill level to practice drills & scrimmage with others. I really like the practice times/locations (Cooley middle school & Power Ranch) and the coaches (James runs the show but has many assistant coaches working with small groups). My kids understand the game now & have improved as athletes. We've referred a few friends. Great set up all around!

Next Level provides a competitive facility with engaged coaches, however it is uncomfortable in the…read morefacility. The thermostat has shown 90 degrees in there each time I've been over the past couple of months. Parents are talking about how miserably hot it is to stand and watch their child practice indoors for over an hour at 90 degrees in summer. Not the indoor break that parents were looking for. There are couches upfront, but no fans or air circulation. The vending machine is always empty for beverages. There are TVs in the lounge for the parents, but I've only seen them turned on once. It seems like the people actually paying to send their children to Next Level are an afterthought in this business model, and that is not a sustainable method. I hope their ownership considers creating an environment you look forward to bringing your children to.

Zero flexibility and zero customer care. Missed the strict deadline by a mere 7 days due to an…read morehonest mix-up, and they happily pocketed my $115 without an ounce of grace. If you want a company that values rigid fine print over actual human beings, this is the place.

This is by far the worst league in the East Valley. Do not waste your time or money…read more My son was extremely disappointed with our experience. When a team was left without a coach, his dad stepped up to help. Instead of support, both Melanie and Coach Carson were rude and unprofessional in how they handled the situation. To make matters worse, our team had only four boys show up and they played their hearts out against a team of nine players who were able to rotate in and out. There was no effort from the league to balance the teams or offer support by lending players to make the game fair. The lack of organization and sportsmanship was very disappointing. Parents, please think carefully before signing up. Our kids deserve better support, leadership, and sportsmanship. I highly recommend North Zone out of Chandler instead.

Wow! What a nice soccer facility! Looks like there is going to be 8 full size soccer fields that…read morecan be split into 2 fields for younger ages. This is a new facility and still in construction phase. The parking lot is big and appears to hold enough vehicles for all fields attendants. A new concession stand and restroom facility are close to being operational but they have plenty of food vendors and porta-potty's for now. The fields are very nice and the grass is established. A nicely paved path splits the fields and has light poles for night games. 4 of the fields have lights in place and I'm guessing the other 4 will in the future. There is no shade structures or bleachers so bring your pop up tents and lawn chairs. But plenty of seating area for parents and fans at every field. Overall a really nice, new facility dedicated just to soccer youth.

"Soccer Mom" is a major part of my current identity... My weekends are now spent on soccer fields…read moreacross the Valley, and despite the fact that I personally prefer baseball over soccer, I am so proud of my kids and the skills they are learning from playing soccer! That being said, Paloma Soccer Complex is one of the places that my son plays on occasion. It's nothing super special... If memory serves, the parking lot can be a challenge and I've had to park in the way back past the paved area on a dirt lot and make the trek back to the fields... I also think that porta-potties are the only option for a bathroom and there is no concession (or at least there wasn't when I've been for tournaments). I will update next visit, however! Go with low expectations and you'll be just fine!

The fields are ok. The parking sucks. There are absolutely no shade trees. The AZ sun is not…read morenatural. Shade trees are a must. I guess on a positive note, I've never been robbed or stabbed while attending soccer matches here. There is a church on the property. If i were stabbed here, does that mean I'd go straight to heaven? Or does it mean that the bad guy immediately gets forgiven for stabbing me? I'm not sure if I'm comfortable at these soccer fields anymore. I prefer the GYSA fields or Reach 11.

My son loves soccer and our experience here was beyond below average. Everyone was unprofessional…read moreand they just care about money. Our coach had never coached before and was not a great leader. Be aware of their scrimmages where they said and I quote, "During the scrimmage, the kids should not have rules. Let them go offsides, let them go out of bounce and if they hurt one another, that's part of it. I'M NOT LYING. The players would come up to me and say, why are they allowed to hit us. No one did anything. The coach would come late, once never showed up. Every practice was another problem that this organization didn't want to take responsibility for, but only brush it off. You are better off playing soccer with your local recreational team. Plus, their name is NOS--never on Sunday. They lead u on with that, making you feel they play in tournaments that follow this never on Sunday. NO. As a result, they lose every championship cause they what, Never on Sunday. Other parents wanted to quit, but they paid everything up front. Plus, they say their prices are cheaper than most, another lie, same. We went to a different team, same price and it's 500% different. Don't waste your time with unpleasant, unprofessional humans they just want to make a living.
