Miriam was very accommodating. Then we realized that we accidentally signed up for the wrong fencing club (wrong only in that our kids friends are at a different one, closer to their school). She immediately refunded our payment in full. Should our circumstances change (i.e. live closer to the fencing club or change schools) we would absolutely come back to this club. Customer service was excellent and commendable in a time where that is not always the case!

If you are a teenage girl who loves soccer, or the parent of one, think real hard before joining…read morethis club. Note that this review does not speak to a younger girl's experience with this soccer club, only to the teenage competitive level. Our daugther tried out and joined the club. Here is what club management did NOT tell us or apparently other new players and families while we were considering clubs during the spring try-out season, or at all, until we learned experientially: Practices are blended across club teams and age groups, led by a single club coach, sometimes assisted sometimes not. With dozens of girls at practices, there is hardly any individual attention given to building skills or for any other needs. The coach did not call (perhaps even know?) our daughter by her name for months, if he reached out to her at all during a practice. The practice coach was not the same as the games coach for our daughter's team. In our opinion, the games coach did not have the termperament to coach. He was hyper-critical, biting in volume and tone, and did not self-regulate well. He made games unpleasant for some if not all of the players, leaving our daughter regretting having joined the team and having played that day. Not once did our games coach greet parents, who had traveled sometimes an hour or longer to bring their player and to attend and root for the team. There was no meaningful connection of any kind with this coach, if any at all. It was impossible to ask a question of club administration by telephone, as the phone line was not answered. Messages went to a voicemail. Calls were not returned. E-mailing was no better. The only person who was, over days, sometimes weeks, able to field an e-mail and answer a question was the club bookkeeper, who also struggled to receive an answer from club management. Overcrowded practices, little attention to individual skills-building, an unreachable head coach, a hot-headed games coach? Is this what you want? I wish someone had told us what we are now sharing, before other families and ours signed up, only to leave the club within a short time. Think hard before joining and paying for this girls soccer club.

We've even incorporated some of our coaching techniques into our parenting! They keep it fun and engaging, while teaching technique and strategy too. Our two oldest children really love it, and we're excited to introduce our third once she's old enough this fall. On a practical note, we love that the fields change each quarter. It's a great way to explore the city. And we love that they have classes on Sundays!

Everything seemed geared toward competition. I had pretty much given up on my kids learning to play, when I found Weee Kickin It. This program is relaxed, yet focused. It's positive and encouraging, but also teaches skills. I like the female coaches - all of which have been fabulous. And I especially appreciate that they accommodate 6 year old beginners, which is really rare!

PARENTS: Please do not waste your time with this organization…read more My child attended tryouts and was invited to play in the upper house team in May. I responded immediately and continued to reach out during the subsequent months. I sent an email asking about the start of the season in May, June, July, and August. After reaching out with several emails last week, I finally heard back. Mady responded by saying that the upper house team had not come together after all. They left us out of the loop for several months without letting us know about this important detail, leaving my kid without a team at the last minute. I scrambled around and found him a rec team to play on, but the way they did us was super unprofessional. Who would do this to a kid? That's messed up!

My son's game has picked up quite a bit in a short amount of time. No doubt that he puts in a lot of work and effort, but Coach Mady's style of coaching is positive and he challenges the kids while developing their potential. I've seen my son and his team mates grow in the past few seasons and it's amazing to see. My son always looks forward to playing with GGS and Coach Mady! He's made a lot of friends there!

You know they are good when the famed Oakland Soldiers wants you under their franchise and now they are the SF Soldiers! We actually drive over an hour to come here bc we believe in this team and the coaching is phenomenal! The training is intense and there are many teams that want my son to play but we stay here bc we honestly feel it has the BEST training and coaching we have seen and he has played and practiced with other teams. His training camps, beach workouts, etc all intense even regular practices are!!! Just try it out and see! Winning many championships and ranked in many age groups. Honestly, this is the team you want to have your child play for and one thing I like is that although some kids play up but you never see kids who are older play on younger teams like you see on so many other teams! I like that integrity bc it is ridiculous to see a kid with a mustache and muscles play a 10u team like a team we played in a LA tournament! So kudos to SF Soldiers to teach the right thing to the kids! And the best thing is that the kids in this organization across the age groups are good and respectful kids. What impressed me and the reason we joined at first was not only bc of Coach BT and Coach Isaiah but bc the kids were very good players but they were all still humble and worked to help each other. Good kids and humble no matter how many championships they won or if they are the best player even which I liked!

He's had a speech delay and has had his academic struggles, so he's always had an aversion to team sports, and has even voiced that he's felt "different." We've tried to put him into other baseball and soccer when he was 4-5 years old, but he was never drawn to them. He instead preferred solo sports activities like swimming and martial arts, namely because he could progress at his own pace, without the added pressure of competition. Through a friend we met Coach Marty and it's been a blessing ever since! He has a way of easing kids into the basics of the sport, even if they've never played before and if they are shy and introverted. He's made it a fun and stress free experience and now my son LOVES the game. My son has been training with Coach Marty for about 6 months, and he went from being scared to even kick a ball with other kids around him, to running and passing the ball, shooting goals and avidly seeks to improve his game. He looks forward to every practice and cheers on his team mates. It's not just the exercise and basic soccer skills that he's taken away from this program thus far, but rather the build up of confidence, the sense of teamwork, and the enthusiasm for healthy exercise that he'll be able to use for the rest of his life. If you've got a kid that feels "different" or is shy, I'd definitely check First Step Soccer out. He or she is bound to learn more than just the game, and that's the real reward.

Getting kids excited about any sport isn't easy, but Coach Jesse and his team have found the right formula. They make tennis genuinely fun while still maintaining a high standard, striking the perfect balance between learning, encouragement, and discipline. Whether your child is picking up a racquet for the first time or already competing, everyone is challenged at the right level. Coach Jesse has built an outstanding team with Luiba, Kyle, Jon, and the rest of the coaching staff. Everyone brought incredible energy, patience, and positivity every single day. My kids also had fantastic private lessons with Coach Victor. He was incredibly patient, technical, and has a great way of breaking down the game so kids build confidence while learning proper fundamentals. I even jumped into a private lesson myself, and Coach Victor was awesome. He shared some simple but incredibly effective tips that immediately helped my game. Thank you, Coach Victor! By the end of the two weeks, my kids couldn't wait to get back on the court each morning. That's probably the best review any youth program can receive. If you're visiting San Francisco or you're local and looking for a first-class tennis academy with amazing coaches and an even better culture, Tenacious Tennis Academy is an easy five-star recommendation.

After asking what my goals were and we were aligned, he helped me understand a better way to hit a tennis ball. I would get so tired from hitting a ball previously and would need to take a break every 10 minutes. After a few lessons with Jesse, I feel like I am conserving so much energy and hitting the ball with free power. I never thought I would be an athlete again, but I am now one of the strongest players in my USTA flight. My serve and forehand became especially strong, and my backhand and volleys went from giving up easy errors to being dependable and solid enough under pressure. Thanks Tenacious!
