I would just like to say that Metropolitan Oval is in my blood. I played there for many years in…read morethe late 1960's and 1970's for a team called the German Hungarians. The field was dirt and the caretaker, Pops, tried valiantly to grow grass with only a small patch ever blossomong. I have nothing but fond memories of the field and am looking forward to visiting one day to watch a match.

This club is not a development club. They only care about the MLS team and use all other teams to…read moresupport those teams. They also pick kids from MLS from other teams and do not develop players at all. The club is owned by a private equity guy who lets coaches run a business. The coaches do not know how to run a business so the place is a disaster with guys that only know how to coach and thus are on power trips. The private equity guy buys other clubs and makes adjustments annually. If you want your son in a bad situation with coaches that have huge egos and refuse to communicate to parents then join here. Don't believe me? Ask any player or parent on any team including MLS and they will tell you how much they hate the place but use it for their son's resume for college. This is exactly why American soccer sucks - guys that run a club like this are exactly the problem.

Overall, this has been a great experience. The coaches we have had have been great and teach all…read morethe right things.

Wow ! A soccer shop in the heart of Times Square !!!! Never thought that such a shop will be in…read moresuch busy location. A good shop for soccer enthusiasts... nice and big shop having so many soccer jerseys .. It was pricey and it's obvious because of the location and since most of these are original jerseys (I think) ... they had all countries jerseys - like Argentina , Brazil etc .. they also have big leagues - man united , man city etc . Good for kids .. service was ok and billing was a bit slow . Good shop overall ..

With family from out of town, we had a request for USNT soccer jersey. Located in the middle of…read moreTimes Square, there is a huge selection of soccer jerseys, US and International. Men's, Women's and Youth's sizes available. We were looking for a Men's small but they didn't have the size. Ended up purchasing a Youth XL which we were hoping was comparable in size and $20 cheaper. All merchandise available for sale was on the floor. Didn't see any sales on the floor, just at checkout. So if you're looking for a soccer jersey, try this place.

My child was enrolled in the after-school program at PS 101, run by Soccer Friends, and I cannot…read morerecommend this program to anyone. The operation is consistently unprofessional, and much of the staff lacks the proper training and qualifications to work with young children (with the exception of the PS 101 teachers they contract). My child was not treated fairly or appropriately, and this experience has completely destroyed my trust in the program. As a parent, I would never entrust something as important as my child's well-being to this organization again. Trust lost -- and it will not be regained.
