  • No1 Soccer Camps

6/15/10

I heartily recommend these soccer camps!

My children have attended No. 1 soccer camps for years and they are terrific! We've tried several others and the others cannot compare. No 1 soccer camps really deliver! They have optional "sunrise" soccer before breakfast, then soccer all morning, soccer in the afternoon, swimming in the late afternoon (at least at some locations), soccer fun games after dinner, and then optional review of soccer videos in the evening. The instructor/student ratio is small, and at the end, when their instructor writes out a really comprehensive review of the player, strengths, things they can work on, etc, you can tell that they REALLY got to know each student well. No "cookie cutter" comments here. Very individualized attention so each player improves their skills and game!

They may seem expensive, but it is worth every penny!

Run, run, run away from this website! *, who runs the camps, is scam artist and liar.

In January of 2009 I contacted this website about registering for their listed 2009 summer camp. We corresponded by email with *, registered and paid to have our two children attend one of his camps, listed at occurring at a specific time and place. In February 2009, the location and times of the camp changed, making it impossible for our children to attend. We contacted * and explained that they could no longer attend and could he please return our money. He said OK and then had a series of excuses, "I'm in Europe and will not be in the States for 3 weeks. I can send the check then". When contacted in 4 weeks, "My trip has been extended. I should be back in the States in 2 weeks". Emails back and forth continued. He also then mentioned that he couldn't pay us back until he got some revenue from the summer camps. At other times he would just not reply. Finally, when summer came, I contacted one of private schools who were renting out their space for one of his camps, acting friendly and finally got the cell phone number of someone who was helping him set up. When that helper handed the cell phone to *, he was surprised and annoyed to be talking to me. When I said it was fraudulent for him to keep our money which we paid when we thought the camp was going to be at a different place and different time, he said he would have his wife send us a check. Finally several weeks later we got a check for 1/2 of the money he owed us. He said that was his "refund policy".

I wouldn't trust this guy for anything, much less providing any service that he says he's going to provide.
