The system is designed to keep a small group of established teams winning year after year, while new families are treated like afterthoughts. Drafting Favors Insiders Returning coaches get to "draft" their rosters, so if your child hasn't played for the same coach for the last 3-6 years, you'll be placed on a team of all new players. First-time families have no chance to join an established team. In other words, if you don't already know someone, your child is automatically on the outside. Practice Fields & Equipment Inequality Practice space depends entirely on which coach you're assigned. Established teams with longtime coaches have access to actual soccer fields and complete equipment. New teams are pushed to cramped public parks with no goals and barely any room to run drills, hardly a fair way to learn the game. Poor Sportsmanship Culture Despite billing itself as a recreational league, the culture is cutthroat. Two teams in the 12U bracket have maintained the same rosters for over three years, have never lost, and have never conceded a goal. Coaches from those teams have openly bragged about "letting everyone score" against beginner squads. Our own coach was told this before a game that ended 30-0. This isn't development or fun; it's humiliation. Neglect of New Players New families quickly realize their kids are not a priority. Our team went without a coach for the first four weeks because the league couldn't be bothered to find one. Five players quit mid-season due to the discouraging environment. There's no focus on teaching fundamentals or instilling a love of soccer, only on protecting the winning streaks of entrenched teams. Bottom Line Our child also participates in club-level sports, and we've witnessed far better sportsmanship, even at Junior Olympic competitions, than in this so-called recreational league. Unless you already have a long-standing connection with a coach, expect poor communication, second-class practice conditions, and a league that values money and wins over children's development or enjoyment. If you want your child to actually learn and love the game, look elsewhere. This league is recreational in name only.

Revolution was the home team. Revolution is an EA team. Oakley is a gold team. Gold is 3 levels down from EA. Watched as the home team ref (his name is Jason Bates-got his name from one of the parents at the game) put on a blatant display of favoritism for the Revolution team. Call after call was made for the home team. Mr. Bates did not seem to care how bad his call were and how much the calls favored the Revolution team. But even with the absolutely horrible refereeing displayed by Mr. Bates, Oakley clearly outplayed and outsmarted and outdueled the Revolution team to a 1 to 0 score. When it got to the end of the second half, Mr. Bates, still favoring the home team and doing anything he could to make sure they had a chance to win, called out that he was adding 4 minutes of extra time after the game had actually hit the final whistle. I have 3 kids. All three have played soccer. I have seen at least 350 games comp games my kids have played in in my time. Adding 4 minutes of extra time to a game is due to at least one injury. There needs to be a reason to add that much time in a u17 game. There were no injuries in this game. There was actually not one reason to add one minute to the game, let alone 4 minutes. Well sure enough, after a total of 1 hour and 33 minutes of keeping the score at 1-0, Oakley allowed a goal. Yes, in the 3rd minute of added time Revolution scored. All due to Blatant and unacceptable and completely one-sided refereeing by Mr. Bates. It was embarrassing. Again, Oakley, a team 3 levels down from Revolution, outplayed and had won the game. But a horrible referee with an agenda, who added time for no reason changed the outcome of the game. The teams went to PK's and revolution won. Never in my life have I ever seen a team cheat so blatantly and so openly in a game between comp teams. This was a game where the winner moved on and the team lost were done. Revolution had to cheat to resort to winning a game against a team 3 levels below them. Revolution brags about how good their coaches are and how good their training is. If a high level EA team can't beat a gold team without cheating there is something wrong. Enjoy your win you didn't earn Revolution. As for Mr. Bates, you are a disgrace to the game. There is no place for people like you in the beautiful game. Oakley won that game. Whatever ANYONE tells you about this game, Oakley won the game 1 to 0. Proud of the Oakley Mexico Jr.'s and proud of the outstanding Oakley coaches, and proud of what you guys accomplished today.

If you're looking for player development, this is not the club for you. The number of players in the league that don't even know basic fundamentals is concerning. Seems like they will take anyone who pays the fee, that is NOT how a comp program should work. If the program is not very competitive, it should at least be fun. This club has been neither. Players are supposed to be evaluated every year, last eval for my child was about 5 years ago. Most teenage athletes will tell you they're good, even when they're not, part of the coach's job is to make sure the best 11 players are on the pitch and make adjustments accordingly. With the coaches we've been assigned to, they seem to only want to play their favorite 11 players even through fatigue and obvious injury. Losses are part of the game, but number of last-minute losses we've seen because of poor player management is mind-blowing. Was hoping the transition from Impact to Revolution would make things better, but it's the same. It's coaches putting their ego before what's best for the players and team. Best wishes.

Anyways, I walked in because my daughter has a clay class tonight and I was greeted instantly even though she was on the phone with another client. This place hasn't changed too much since I was last in here. It was nice and clean. A lot of seating in the lobby. I can't wait to see what she does in the clay class! It's a drop off only.

The grounds have several tennis courts, pickleball courts, a swimming pool, a jacuzzi, and a lot of exercise equipment, including a treadmill, an elliptical, and offer several exercise classes. They also have shower rooms and spas. We were amazed at the number of facilities that we ended up joining this sports club. I wanted to take a picture of the facilities but I want to protect the privacy of the members and respect them. They also offer a one-day pass for non-members at a daily rate. I usually come after 12 noon and I noticed that there's less crowd. We have used the pickleball court and we had the court by ourselves. You can also do lap swimming in one of their swimming pool There are so many options for you to do at this place and you will enjoy your day exercising or just hanging around by the pool. They also have a coffee shop and serve nutritional drinks. The staff are also good and accommodating to your needs. If you're looking for a sports center, check this place and compare it.

Depending on the stage in the treatment process and the wind direction you could be in for a bad time. If you are from the area like us you may just notice its extra funky smelling on such days, but when we first moved here and anytime out of towners join us it's really noticable to the unaccustomed. Fields are well maintained except maybe the ball fields that seem to have an unhealthy amount of rocks for baseball. Drainaige is pretty good but some of the fields get water logged by the rain so come prepared if you are playing on or after a wet day. Parking is pretty ample but when there isnt enough you need to park along Garin parkway, which has a posted speed limit of 25 (good) but actual speeds average 35-45 depending on time of day.
