Updating my rating to a 5, since Soccer Stars reached out to me right away and went out of there way to make things right. They also shared they are working with the City of Santa Monica to make the booking process better. We recently took another class this summer and were very pleased with the experience. read more

My three-year-old Leo B. enrolled in a Super Soccer Stars class at his friend's house between September and December 2023. I think there were eight sessions, a couple of which I attended. He had fun running around with his friends, but I saw him touch a ball maybe three or four times, and I am not especially confident that he learned a single thing. Coach Martin was nice and seemed good with the kids, but he wasn't exactly able to wrangle a whole class of pre-schoolers and get all of them to pay enough attention to learn new skills. There was a noticeable difference between the three-year-olds and the four-year-olds, who did actually seem to get something out of the classes. Leo was on his own planet the first session, and when I asked if he'd listen to the coach the next week, he just straight up told me no. This is how I ended up bribing him with ice cream if he listened to Coach Martin, and he got ice cream maybe half of the rest of the sessions. There's a decent likelihood that we try Super Soccer Stars again. It's a big operation, the kind that sends a lot of promotional emails, and it seems like a lot of our kid's school friends take classes through them. I liked that we were able to join one at someone's house and would sign up again, hopefully when Leo is ready to pay attention and maybe kick a ball. read more

Great instructors, and structured lessons that have common themes throughout the season, but also differ a bit every time to keep the kids engaged. Minus one start because there's too many exercises that either don't involve kicking a ball, or require kids picking things with their hands. It can be confusing, and at times not as engaging for kids who just want to "play soccer" (aka kick a ball around).... Especially the ones on the younger side like my daughter! read more

My sons have done amazing development through the programs provided by Super Soccer Stars. My middle son got into premier league and is in his third season. Coach Nick has been critical and takes it very seriously. I love that this outfit is not taught by parents but real soccer instructors. The office has always been amazing to help in any questions. I am grateful for Matthew, Peter, Sam (no longer with the company but still wanted to mention his name), and many more and will update as their names come to my mind. I saw someone rate lower because they continued with a scheduled class even though it was lightly raining. De read more

It used to be a good program but this past year, for every session they've changed the class schedule - reducing classes, moving classes - because of low enrollment, often without warning, at the start of the session or weeks in. We have other activities and it's made it a complete nightmare to plan my child's schedule around this program. I will literally have to spend hours staring at my calendar to rearrange our schedule. Then last email I got from them they're also combining classes so now my kid will be stuck with kids much older. I get migraines because of this program. Not worth it! read more

Just finished our first class and our son loved it. He's 18 months and in the Parent and me. Loved the energy from his teacher Monika. Her instructions were very clear and helped the parents effectively guide our distracted kids to stay focused on the class (which is no easy task at this age). The program is very creative and intentional in choosing the activities that keep them engaged while still keeping a curriculum centered around soccer. I came away with the impression he was getting quality coordination guidance as well as learning to take direction from someone outside of his parents which I really like and typically don't see in a lot of other programs/activities we've put him in. Overall I really recommend this program and plan on keeping him in classes as he gets older. read more

My 3-yr old son enrolled in 9:40-10:25am Saturday class at Central park, Pasadena. He is a shy boy, and it is his second soccer class. The first class was way too competitive for him as the first time, so that he was scared to play soccer there. He froze all the times and we did not enjoy it. The first soccer class at Central park was somewhat shocking. How the coach did icebreaking was brilliant and smart. My son felt comfortable and liked his coach right away, and he incredibly became cooperative. He answered well, played well, and seemed to enjoy the class a lot. This was something I have been waiting for a long time and didn't happen till we enrolled in this class. I really appreciate how the coach leads his class. read more

Our family enrolled in Super Soccer Stars over the summer and we had a semi-good experience with the coaches. My younger daughter was in the 2-3 year old class and it was a disaster. The coach was incredibly friendly and nice but he expected these kids to do multi-step drills and follow long drawn out explanations. They are toddlers. They should kick the ball and run up and down a field. Out of the 6-7 toddlers, only 1 or 2 could follow the directions at most. My older daughter is taking her second set of classes but this will definitely be her last. During her first session she had about 5 coaches who all taught a different curriculum. It was confusing for her and some coaches were better than others. The company never even told us the coaches were changing or who our new coach would be. The communication was terrible. During her second session, the coach only plays games and doesn't actually teach her any soccer skills, drills, etc. This program is a lot more expensive than other soccer schools in the area. For that cost alone I would expect a lot more care and service. The biggest reason I'm actually even reviewing is b/c of the awful customer service. This company sends your kid the shirts via mail and only 1 of my two kids received hers. I emailed about 6 times and NEVER got the situation resolved. They told me it was coming, they told me to contact the tshirt company, they told me it had already arrived (when it never did). It was such a disaster. I never could reach anyone who actually cared. They just kept pawning me off to another person who would "help". After a while they stopped replying all together. How disappointing. This was truly a terrible experience for our family b/c of the way the company ran the program. The coaches were incredibly nice and I would give them 4-5 stars, but it doesn't make up for the rude/bad customer service and lack of empathy. Again this program is a lot more expensive than other schools so please take your business elsewhere. If you look at the last 10 reviews here it is all bad. Maybe the company was good in the beginning, but something has definitely changed and they have gone downhill. read more

We love Super Soccer Stars! Coach was so great with the littles. My daughter is 19 months old and just starting to understand directions. The coach was so patient and kind, but made the class so much fun and enjoyable for everyone! Thank you SSS for a great class for the littles! read more

We love going to this soccer camp as our weekend Saturday activity. My daughter started coming here on her 3rd birthday and it's such a great class. Coach Kenny is amazing and always tried to keep my daughter engaged even if she wasn't that into the class that day. It was walking distance from our house and really well organized. There were several different classes for each age group at the school park where it was held. If a kid was in between age groups they always made accommodations so everyone who wanted to could participate. The people working to organize the class were super friendly and always responsive to my emails if I had any questions. We'll be coming back here for a while! read more

A short time after this review a rep from this company did reach out to me (her name was kailee and she was pleasant, empathetic, and offered sincere apologies as well as a refund plus future credits). She informed me that she did read all the notes on my account and even listened to the recorded calls and understood exactly where I was coming from. Ultimately, the disconnect here was a result of their customer service reps not notating/forwarding all the details to the higher ups and also not checking if classes were running or not before placing my child in them. Also, the instructors at the Woodland Hills location that I mentioned in my previous review were replaced as well! I allowed my daughter to try out the class now that they are gone and the new instructors are amazing, attentive, and are actually teaching the kids soccer step by step at a pace that is perfect for their ages. Taking accountability and providing actual customer service goes a long way. Thank you kailee! read more

Coach Jose and Coach Aiden are the best! My son has participated in different leagues and this is one is by far the best. Jose is so patient with the kids, teaches them tangible skills while making it fun, and has great energy. My daughter had Coach Aiden last season and she loved him,m. Again, very patient and great with kids. We will definitely keep our kids progressing through Super Soccer Stars. read more

I signed my three year old up for a 1.5 hour soccer camp five times a week at Great Park in Irvine for two weeks this summer. Each week is literally $220 a week, which is ridiculous to begin with for such a short amount of time. The first week, there was a different coach every day. It was clear that many of the coaches did not have experience with such young children. There was really not much fun, and I didn't see that they were learning much. So my daughter hated going and eventually I stopped taking her. Huge waste of money. We had done soccer with Happy Feet with my daughter prior to that, and it was SO much fun. They had lots of little songs and stories that allowed the kids to get the ideas they were trying to teach. So, I definitely recommend them over this. read more

I heard good things about Super Soccer Stars from a friend and signed my 18 month old son. We really enjoyed the 1 to 2 year old soccer class in hermosa beach! Coach Diana and Adrian were so good and sweet with the toddlers. I think coach Diana memorized everyone's names too (very impressive!). Interactive, cute, and fun activity to get your little one social and soccer exposure. Parents were friendly too. read more

The experience for my child who took her age appropriate class was good, and her coach was engaging and she enjoyed the class. This review is mostly for the customer service and admin part of soccer stars. We had enrolled a younger kid and older one to their appropriate age groups but a few days before they cancelled the younger age group because of low enrollment. My younger one is 4 so they said we could put her in the 5-10 age group. Thinking there would be multiple coaches on sight to work with different age groups since 5-10 is a pretty big spread, we agreed. When we showed up, there was just one coach to 10 kids. My youngest stayed by my side when we arrived and did not want to join at all but because they saw her and took attendance, they marked her as present. First, the spread of ages to one coach is not really a fair for younger ones learning. And just one coach for 10 kids is a lot considering the different needs of the different age groups. Then when I called to request a full refund, I waited months and nothing until I kept calling three more times and then got a partial refund. Soccer stars does not put the customers interest first. We will not be signing up again. read more

We really wanted to love this class especially because it seems like they have a lot of different offerings in the community. However, each time we have attended, the instructors were different, disorganized, did not have the materials needed to teach the class, inexperienced, and did not have a plan for the students. It does not appear that any of the instructors had any specific training to teach, they seemed very green, and could not manage to teach even basic tasks for the students to participate in any kind of organized or congruent way. Many of the parents were essentially teaching the students themselves during the class. The class we attended has been so poorly administered to the point that everyone walked out on our second class about halfway through. I think this is likely a company that hires inexperienced people at a very low pay rate, and there just isn't a feeling of personal investment from the coaches or the customer service team. It is so unfortunate because we'd love to support programs like these and it's a great way to socialize children, but this company needs to invest in training their employees and having a more personalized and reasonable customer service policy when it is their fault (and not that of the attendees) that the classes were so poorly constructed and implemented. read more

Similar experience to many others...disorganized in general, no real program to follow, no real teaching of skills, just inexperienced young "coaches" who were ill-equipped to work with young children. 3 different "coaches" in the first 3 weeks. We enrolled 2 kids for Cheviot Hills last fall. The loose, inconsistent and unorganized approach made it clear that it was a waste of time for our youngest, so we cancelled after the very first class, while our eldest finished the season. We've been working for the past 6 months to get a reasonable refund for the cancelled enrollment while Super Soccer Stars hides behind automatic recurring payment language that doesn't appear anywhere on the website upon initial sign up, only in subsequent billing emails. TLDR: Absolutely not worth the cost for younger kids. Beware predatory billing practices. read more

We signed up for a week of Super Soccer Stars this summer. Because it was a long enough drive from our house, my husband and I took turns taking our son and simply worked from the park where the camp occurred... so, we got to see everything that took place during the week. Days 1 and 2 were fine, if you don't take into account that the coach arrived 10 minutes late on the first day. Days 3-5: the breaks got longer and longer and the coach spent increasingly more time on his phone either heads down staring at it or on actual phone calls. So much so that by day 5, the kids literally did nothing for a full hour and a half while he took calls and stared at his phone. When one of the kids went up to him to say something, he shooed her off, saying "go do something else." Very little actual soccer was played and he seemed to favor long running drills, which again, gave him more time to look at his phone. Shameless. Won't be returning to this camp. read more

I will not advise anyone who wants real soccer classes in LA to register here. We came from evolve soccer who had a real soccer field for children of all ages with real soccer goals. It's ALSO more expensive to take classes at "super star soccer" and the ground is not even straight. I did one class and when asked for my registration fee back, they gave me a credit for a futur class (which doesn't make sense when you don't want to continu there) So that's why one read more

Great classes and camps for kiddos. They're tailored to the age group to learn skills to grow and develop into the sport of soccer. Thank you Super Soccer Stars! read more

Extremely disappointed that they did not cancel classes despite light rains. This is highly irresponsible given that the classes are geared towards young children. Clearly, they did not want to offer another makeup class. A money making racket at the expense of kids enrolled in their classes. Shame on you! Since this review I've had an opportunity to speak with a Supervisor named Ray. He offered to allow up to 2 makeup sessions for any classes that were missed. I was not previously aware that this was their policy. If in fact it is their company policy it should be mentioned in their communications when they decide to proceed with classes during inclement weather. Policies aside, it would be remiss in failing to mention that Coach Augustine has been the coach for all our sessions and has been well liked by all the children. He's introduced a fun approach to reaching soccer fundamentals. He deserves 5+ stars! read more

Coach Asher is fantastic! My son looks forward to his class every week. He keeps the kids engaged and having fun while they learn new skills. Thank you Coach Asher! read more

Coach Khalil is FANTASTIC with kids. Our son has participated in several sets of classes with him starting at a very early age. Khalil doesn't just break soccer down into discrete lessons young minds and bodies can tackle: he transforms them into engaging imaginative games in and of themselves - learning through play. He is sensitive to each child's level of development and attention span and somehow manages to address each individually. He is patient, motivating, and in control. He seems very aware that he's teaching more than soccer. Khalil commands so much respect from our son that we often invoke 'Coach Khalil's' teachings and guidance around the house - and he listens. And on top of all that, we're happy that our son has developed serious soccer skills - thanks Super Soccer Stars and Coach Khalil! read more

I am so disappointed with this organization. We signed up for the 2-3 year old classes. Then Coronavirus hit and "assume" canceled the classes. I have sent over 6 emails the last month trying to understand if class will be delayed or refunds given, etc. NOT 1 reply. I have called several times, nobody answers and nobody returns voicemails. Today, I recieved a random email letting me know that tomorrow (1 week late from original start of class) they would be doing classes virtual. They did not ask for opinions - but good luck putting a 2.5 year old in front of a zoom soccer class. I have to resort to disputing the charge through my credit card since they have completely ignored all attempts at resolution. Communication in this crazy Corona time is what sets businesses apart. Super Soccer Stars disappoints on all levels right now. read more

I don't write Yelp reviews but there are 3 wonderful people from Super Soccer Stars who I would love to thank for.  My son Ethan Tong said he had his best happy 6 year old soccer birthday party on Jan 26, 2019.  I don't remember how many countless times I have contact Anna Audler, the partnerships coordinator, to postpone and extend the party first because of the rain and second his last minute fever, but every single time, Anna is very courteous and understanding on the phone that I am very grateful for.   On his big day, the 2 coaches Erin and Sonny was punctual and even arrived earlier than we arrived.  At first, I was a little worried because only 6 kids show up for party but both coaches are great with kids and they make sure the kids are entertained, listened to instructions, kicked balls while having fun.  Both coaches motivates the kids, attentive and gave kids enough water breaks.  I have been to other birthday parties like pump it up etc but I feel what makes super soccer stars better is the one on one attention that the great soccer coaches gave.  Thanks to your hard work and dedication, Erin and Sonny, all kids had a great time learning the game and having fun.  You are simply awesome :) read more

We enrolled our daughter in Soccer Stars because we thought it would be a fun learning experience and way for her to socialize with other children. Unfortunately the "coach" seemed like someone they hired last minute on Craigslist. She spent no time teaching our kids the basic rules of soccer like you know, not picking up the ball with your hands. And got very frustrated any time her vague rules were not followed. This person had no business interacting with 3 and 4 year olds what so ever. Also, Soccer Stars asks you to choose a T-shirt size and soccer ball color when signing up, but completely neglects to send these and when you try to contact customer service it's impossible to reach anyone. We took our daughter out of the program after 3 weeks. read more

I enrolled my 3yo son last week and the experience was very bad for a few reasons: 1. They teach or train at the part, where there are other 100s things going on, so is very distracting for the kids. 2. They had two age groups next two each other, like literally next to each other, my son was jumping between the two groups, and coaches getting a bit grumpy. 3. If your kid is 3yo or younger, this this a thing where you will be doing the job, the coach gives general directions and you have to make sure your kid follows them, so you have to be there with your kid all the time. 3. The coach did very little to no effort to engage my son or other kids in the activities, no introduction, nothing, I feel like he just wanted those 45mn passes by as quickly as possible. I'm not coming back read more

Great program! Coaches are fantastic and my son loved the classes! They also have summer camps. We love super soccer stars.

We paid full price for our toddler to take weekly soccer lessons from SSS. The first coach was not great with toddlers and after two weeks cancelled the class same-day (try explaining that to a toddler). The next two classes each had different coaches, one of which was late because he was sent to the wrong park by SSS. Then they cancelled the rest of the classes and offered us another full course free or the remainder of our pro-rated tuition back. If you want your child to learn to play soccer, I would strongly suggest finding another school. read more

This place ROCKS. I have two kids at different ages and it was hard to schedule them in a way where it would be easy to take them both to their own thing. I called Stacy and she was an absolute legend. She told me don't worry about and I am going to make work for you. And while on the phone she did a bunch of wild shit and fixed everything for me. Now my family can all come together and enjoy the perfect weekend schedule. I LOVE THIS PLACE read more

This review is based on being ignored after multiple times of emailing and leaving messages regarding returning the soccer balls I purchased from them upon registration. The balls arrived in rough shape looking 10 years old and 3 weeks after my kids started. I simply wanted to return the balls for new ones and have been ignored. Completely unnecessary and unprofessional. read more

My son has been with SSS for 3 seasons now. My daughter started up again for her 2nd season. Both kids attend classes in the Pacific Palisades with Coach Khalil. Coach Khalil brings such great energy each week and keeps the kids fully engaged and smiling. What's most impressive is that I'm seeing tremendous progress with my kids' skills, and they're only 2 and 4! My son even practices some of the drills randomly at home. The whole family looks forward to going to practice each weekend. I am thankful for the SSS program, but I am especially thankful for having Coach Khalil as their teacher. read more

We look forward to taking our son to SSS every Sunday. It has become the family routine and a highlight of our weekends. Our son's main coach, Khalil, is incredible. His intuition and personal connection with all of his players is amazing. It's a wonder to watch how he maintains a structured, lesson based class, teaching the group and building their knowledge of the game of soccer, all while keeping plugged in to each player's mood, skill set, and current interest level. He is compassionate while maintaining a command of his team. He remembers his students and continues to tailor his approach from week to week. It is clear he really invests in the success of the kids, and in turn, the kids really respond well. Whether it is our amazing coach, or SSS, I'm not sure, but the basic philosophy of teaching has each class focused on an element of the game or skill set, each week wrapped up in a kid friendly narrative. For example, cones could be rocket ships, teams could be Paw Patrol. That session's narrative is expanded upon as they go through the lesson, really giving the kids something to invest in and focus on. One thing is for sure, part of the success for our group is Khalil's and the assistant coaches' passion for soccer and commitment to educating kids. The company has always been approachable if we missed a class for a legitimate reason. While some may take issue with sessions on rainy days (which in Los Angeles are a gift when they happen), we depend on SSS even more, as we look for an excuse for our son to burn off energy. I grew up playing AYSO, and while I have very fond memories and nothing bad to say about it, for our young son, I love the fact that in SSS he is developing a genuine love for the game, experiencing a wonderful method of structure and teaching, while celebrating the imagination and fun of being a young kid. read more

Plan to stay with your child if they are on the younger side. I enrolled my daughter for summer camp 9-12PM for ages 3-5 year olds. When we showed up at Marine Park in Santa Monica, there were 3 cops having a confrontation with someone in the bathrooms. This is just the state of Santa Monica / Venice. I was so fortunate that my friend, whose daughter also decided to join, stayed the entire time. When I went to pick up my daughter, there was a very irate dad who found his child on the other side of the field unattended and no one (including the instructor) had noticed. It just isn't possible to have one instructor watching all the kids, taking them to the restroom, and if one child ran off, she would have to leave all the other kids unattended. On another note, the grass was wet, so bring a waterproof picnic blanket otherwise your child will be very wet when sitting on the grass for snack. read more
