Especially Coach Sassan is the best coach for girls as he is very encouraging yet clear with instructions which is the best balance for a coach. They also have two tournaments per season and it gives enough of experience and competitive environment for girls to feel what the matches are like. I would definitely recommend this club to girls who are active, motivated and competitive!

Best club experience for two reasons: 1) Excellent…read morecoaching. Coaches identify kids' strengths and weaknesses, set goals, develop rigorous but attainable challenges, motivate, support and encourage. Within 6mo, our daughter transitioned from a timid novice to a confident contender. 2) Excellent accounting. The accounts payable staff are professional, efficient, fast, and reliable. They hold a level of expertise and attention to detail rarely accessible in extracurricular clubs for kids. They offer smart and fair pricing. Examples: for late-comers they true-up the price per practice from start date rather than charging the entire season, they offer smart bulk and family incentives, and they deliver on their promises fast, accurately, and seamlessly.

Each Region also has it's own characteristics which are really driven by the parents and community. I think it's important that folks understand the pros and cons before they decide to enter the program and before they pass judgement on whether they think it is or is not good. Pros: * It's a volunteer organization. So this is your chance to become engaged with your kids activities and give back to the community. * Lots of free training available! * Irvine as a Region is smaller than many of its neighbors, so you can really get to know folks here. * Irvine fields are comparatively awesome. * Recreation play is perfect for kids that are learning or wanted to focus on child development. * The Region invests heavily in their Advanced Play program for competitive development. * The Region has been making great effort to recognize and retain referees. * Much less expensive and more convenient that pay-to-play club soccer. Cons: * Irvine parents and the community are simply not as engaged, which hurts volunteer driven programs. * Volunteers have to deals with entitled parents and children, one bad seed ruins it for everyone sometimes. * You are not guaranteed to be on a competitive team or have an experienced coach. * You are not guaranteed to have an experienced referee for your game, or a referee at all. * Sometimes there are so many emails that it's easy to stop reading them and you may miss important information. * City of Irvine may cancel games on you based on field conditions. * Practices and games are sometimes spread out across many fields. * Overall less organization than some paid, for-profit programs in the area.

Our daughter joined only a few months ago and is already competing in tournaments on the girls' team, a real testament to Coach Harley, Coach Derek, and every one of the coaches. What stands out is how well the entire staff understands kids. They structure their training with the perfect balance of demands, held to a high level that pushes the kids to grow. And there's a place for everyone: advanced players can join the club team, while beginners can start in the recreational league and build their skills step by step. There's no forcing, no rushing, just patient, thoughtful coaching that develops each child as an athlete and a person. I've already recommended them to friends and family and will continue to, everyone I've sent for a trial lesson has stayed without exception. Irvine is fortunate to have a club this good. Highly recommend to any family!

As parents of nationally…read moreranked teen and pre-teen athletes, we knew we needed a trainer who focused + specialized in working with kids -- someone who understands their growing bodies/joints and can develop a program that keeps them strong, motivated, and injury-free. After trying a few trainers, we feel incredibly lucky to have found J at Fit First. Not only do they bring top-tier, experienced trainers to our home (which makes scheduling so much easier), but the level of expertise, patience, and motivation our trainer and the admin team provide is unmatched. Having worked with personal trainers ourselves at high-end gyms like Sports Club (now Equinox), we know what great training looks like -- and this is it! The workouts are engaging, well-structured, and designed to instill healthy physical and mental habits that will benefit our kids now and in the future. We are very happy.

Our son has played with them now for roughly six months and his development as a player (and dare I say as a young man) is remarkable. He has grown tremendously in terms of his gameplay, court skills, competitiveness and even (gasp!) character and maturity. As a mom of two basketball players, I've had a hard time finding coaches that don't make me cringe in their over-the-top out-of-control competitiveness and "here's the ball now run down to the other side of the court and fling it" solo-star style of gameplay. With LEE Sports Group, the team WINS GAMES and they do it without compromising what I consider to be basic character. I'll let other reviewers weigh in on their basketball philosophy because that not really something I know as much about, but as a mom on the sidelines all I can say that this has been the best six months of my son's basketball experience and it is entirely due to the exceptional coaching and community. As a professor and teacher, I am totally humbled by how Alpha and Kendall manage to bring out the very best in every single player, build on their strengths, address gaps and weaknesses, yet all the while cultivating a true appreciation of the game and joy of playing. Heck, I actually look forward to the weekend tournament games because the entire community around LEE Sports Group is so awesome. I seriously can't say enough about the program. I hope they coach my kid all the way into college. :D
