[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Secret society of top players and parents = Attending Next star soccer group training [/quote]

Next Star is the opposite of secret.[/quote]

Next Star is the opposite of society [/quote]

NextStar is just like most other private trainings in the area BUT what makes them really different is the ridiculous fees they charge for watching the kids do basic drills, scrimmage and run hills or around the track (and calling that elite training). You pay for the collection of other good kids that are there from time to time and that's it really.   If the market will take it, charge them I guess but have some respect.  But if you do some due diligence on private trainers from around the world, some of whom have played at levels that the coaches at nextstar have only dreamt of, and research what they charge, you will realize quickly that NextStar is a straight up rip off.  No other way to look at it.  200 dollars an hour for a private lesson is absolutely absurd.  This is soccer we are talking about...[/quote]

Honestly, I don’t think people are paying for the training (there are many coaches/trainers who can do the same), but for feedback and insights on what it takes for a kid to play competitively, and perhaps some positive feedback that their kid has potential? I don’t think that’s worth $200 an hour for the u-little stages.

But they have trained many who have gone on to do well so I think they do have some valuable knowledge. But the best feedback are always the unsolicited ones, not the $200/hour kind.

We like NextStar bc their trainings are everyday practically so it’s always there when DS wants to do small group training and he likes the coaches. [/quote]

Take strong players from a few prominent clubs to any private group training and the trainer looks great

$200/hr is larceny [/quote]
