    Coach Alix has been such a great coach for the team. He strikes the perfect balance between being…read morefirm with the players while still being incredibly encouraging and positive. You can tell he truly cares about the kids and their development, both individually and as a team. Being part of DAC has been such a great experience for our family. We've built our own little soccer family through the club and are so proud of all the players and how much they've grown.

    I honestly wish I could tell every parent looking at Development Academy of California (DAC) to…read morethink twice--for the well-being of their kids and for the love of the sport. Our family's experience with Coach Alix goes back multiple years across a couple different clubs while our son was playing youth club soccer. When you first meet him, he can be very charismatic and convincing. He talks about big plans for player development, teams, and future opportunities. In our experience, though, a lot of those plans never seemed to materialize. What concerned us most was the coaching environment. During games and practices, the coaching style often involved a lot of yelling at very young players. Kids need coaching and accountability, but they also need encouragement and respect. When games don't go well, the reaction often seemed to swing between yelling and complete disengagement. There were multiple times where he appeared to turn away from the game and focus on his phone instead of actually coaching. We also saw certain players get singled out repeatedly in ways that felt more personal than instructional. If your son is really lucky, he might draw from Coach Alix: "Do you have a brain?" or "Do you understand English?" Yes, productive commentary and rhetorical questions directed at 8 and 9 year olds. For parents coming from AYSO and exploring club soccer for the first time, it's worth knowing that this kind of atmosphere is not typical. There are many clubs where coaches push kids to improve while still treating them with respect and building a real love for the game. Many of the stronger players and families move on, which unfortunately wasn't surprising given the environment. My suggestion: watch several practices and especially games, talk to current and former families, and make sure the coaching style is the kind of environment you want for your child. Subjecting our child to Alix for so long is one of the biggest regrets I have in my 10+ years of parenting.
