This company is a machine! Just know that.
This company is a machine! Just know it is not about kids development and love of soccer. If your cool with that, sign up and don’t expect much in return. Remember it is just a business that is it. In recent years it has acquired other associations in the city thereby monopolizing the region. As parent your left feeling stuck because the kids love soccer but the association doesn’t love the kids and it’s hard to find other programs close by. Every negative review on here I can believe are true based on our own experiences. Many parents I have talked to have similar complaints every year. Many of the parents get tired of the “we are the best” and then when we watch games with other associations it is very clear the fundamentals are severely lacking at CSA. It is so obvious too!! The kids are not taught good sportsmanship.
You will spend 1,000’s on travel, hotel and fees and watch other teams out skill CSA. Team 1 started with inside players and is now built with outside players while team 2 is told to keep reaching for the carrot. This creates stagnation on teams and nothing to reach for. Parents are held to a high standard on the sidelines to stay silent and not make a fuss, which is good but the same standard isn’t held for player to player bullying. The emails and phone calls will take place to only do nothing.
To add to all the other reviews there are to many kids, high turnover in coaches.
Trust that any positive reviews on this site are probably not real. Keep reading them and they repeat. It’s seem like a bot reviews, not real people reviews.
