Class Feedback

Teamwork while gaining in self-confidence.

As a four-year old, our son Charles had his first organized sports experience at the Soccer Learning Center. It is appropriately named because Coach Alex is a gifted teacher. Charles learned the fundamentals of soccer and the importance of teamwork while gaining in self-confidence. Kids are impressionable and Coach Alex is a great role model both on the field and off with his many charitable endeavors.

Excellent coach and leader.

Coach Alex is an excellent coach and leader. He encourages children to learn valuable soccer skills while playing lots of fun games. The children are divided into small age appropriate groups which provides a great way for everyone to be involved. The Soccer Learning Center is a wonderful alternative to the traditional soccer leagues for young children. Become a part of the fun!!!

A friendly vibe.

I'd say that TSLC has a friendly vibe, supportive atmosphere and is a lot of fun!  After a while, TSLC feels like family.  I also think it’s great that drills and exercises change every week and sometimes we've even changed things up with tournaments and visiting pro-games.!!!

An amazing ability to communicate.

Coach Alex thoroughly understands the game of soccer and has an amazing ability to communicate with children. His classes are very relevant to developing soccer skills and he makes each lesson fun. All of the children are kept involved, exited and looking forward to more. I highly recommend this program.

A fun and warm environment.

Alex has created a fun and warm environment for children to develop soccer skills without feeling the stress of competition. Each child feel like a winner and learns to "respect" many aspects of team sport. It's been a pleasure for us!

The Soccer Learning Center is a great place to get back into good fitness while learning to appreciate the joy of a great sport. Coach Alex promotes a fun, safe environment where students of all ages can enjoy each other's company and encourage each other in good spirit. I found his classes immensely valuable and a great service to the community!
