Soccer Elite Academy - Calgary — Soccer

My son, who is 9 and quite active, has been attending Soccer Elite Academy in Calgary for a few weeks now, and he really enjoys it. The sessions are on Wednesdays after school, which works well for our schedule. The coaches, especially Coach Sarah, are engaging and make the training fun while challenging the kids to improve their skills. I noticed that my son has started to make a friend on the team, which is great for his social skills as well. The location at Bottomlands Calgary is nice for outdoor practice, but we did have some long lines during pickup that made it a bit chaotic at times. Overall, I think the program is solid for developing soccer skills in a supportive environment, though if you're looking for a quick drop-off and pick-up, be prepared to wait a bit. I would definitely recommend it for other parents looking for a good soccer program.

I enrolled my 6-year-old at Soccer Elite Academy in Calgary, and overall, we had a good experience. The coaches, especially Sam, were very encouraging and engaged with the kids. The focus on skill development was apparent as my child learned to dribble and pass effectively. The sessions are on Wednesday evenings and weekend afternoons at Bottomlands, which is a great outdoor space for soccer. However, the pickup process can be chaotic; we often faced long lines which tested my patience. Despite that, my child really enjoyed playing with peers and even made a new friend in the process. The small group sizes ensured that every child got attention and had a chance to practice. If you're looking for a solid soccer program to help your child grow their skills and confidence, I'd recommend giving this academy a try, just keep an eye on the busy pickup times.
