You keep waiting (and paying) for the perfect environment for your kid, and we will keep training wherever and whenever. Cheers.


Who is "we"? The people running whatever this org is?

This is the worst attempt at marketing a business I have ever seen.

Pretend to be a curious parent, then post no actual information and the start arguing with people asking normal questions about location/cost/credentials.

I agree with whoever upthread said it looked like kids messing around posting a fake club. No adult would think such sloppy videos and zero information would be a good product launch.

Bethesda charges $50 for free play with s--- competition.

At the "street soccer" program we play with, sometimes we pay $20. Sometimes $10. Sometimes free. It all depends on the cost of securing the location.

But the kids are all MLS Next/ECNL from the best clubs in the area.

The policies of "street soccer" is more a test of your character and they weed people out who are the source of club "politics." The ballers in the area don't require turf fields and goals to get busy. A tennis court and some cones will still allow them to get busy.



Why would it cost $20 per person to play on a free outdoor tennis court?


Why don't you try putting together a program where you gain access to good facilities and bring in top level talent for a free training session...then you will know that sometimes a charge is needed and usually acceptable by all the parents. I'm a huge believer of VA street as they bring in really great kids and its mostly free at mostly great facilities. You guys can complain about anything. Or let me guess...you kid isn't invited?? Bum

I really don't understand attempts at "marketing" like this. Pretending to be a parent who just 'stumbled across" this IG page, and then pretending to be other posters adding details about tryouts and whatnot.


Yall are too much. Can’t comprehend that sometimes people aren’t as shady as you must be and just have genuine questions about something they saw. It must be awful being so jaded.


Aw, sorry you are hurt…..and naive


Aw sorry you are a prick. And useless.
