Paris Saint-Germain Academy Pro Residency Florida

★Rodolfo Silva

This is based on 2015 ronaldinho only. My son joined PSG Fort Lauderdale Soccer Academy for the 2023/2024 season with high hopes of quality training and development. However, our experience fell far short of expectations. At the tryout, we anticipated that kids would be assessed based on their abilities, but this wasn't the case. Despite my son having two years of futsal training and being decent, the level of the players wasn't appropriately matched. We had kids who couldn’t kick or run on our “competitive “ team. Nothing against the kids, PSG is to blame for their lack of capability to place kids in a correct level but they didn’t have enough kids because everyone already knows their reputation. EXCEPT FOR MYSELF LOL( I was scammed) We were dismayed by the director's dismissive attitude towards parents, players ( whom he called NOT SPECIAL), this club screams scam recreational program despite the team being marketed as competitive upon signup. Unfortunately, our disappointment continued during games. The team's placement category seemed arbitrary, and playing against teams with vast discrepancies in skill level was frustrating for both parents and kids. Furthermore, the exorbitant fees we paid didn't reflect the quality of the training or experience. Compared to other clubs in the area, PSG's costs were significantly higher without delivering commensurate value. The director Gonzalo is a stubborn newborn who blames the parents for their own terrible terrible management . They are incapable of building a good team due to being money hungry AND HAVING A BAD REPUTATION for this. In the end, we withdrew our son from PSG Fort Lauderdale Soccer Academy due to broken promises and a lack of competitive opportunities. The director said he would give us our money back in a meeting , if us parents were able to place our kids on another reputable team such as prime , Weston etc… WELL, I did but he made us pay $$$$ to withdraw and never refunded the unused months. It was on the contract but the words out of his mouth was that. While it may suit those seeking recreational soccer at a premium price, for those serious about competition, I would strongly advise looking elsewhere. ANYWHERE BUT HERE AND IF YOU NEED ANY PROOF JUST LOOK AT THEIR RESULTS OR GO WATCH ONE OF THEIR GAMES ORRE YOU CAN SIMPLY CHECK WHO STARTED ON THE TEAM AND HOW MANY KIDS LEFT BEFORE THE END OF THE SEASON. Our experience was disappointing, and based on conversations with other parents, it seems we're not alone in our dissatisfaction with PSG Fort Lauderdale.

The spring and summer camp provides skillful training that incorporates a holistic approach to soccer. Nutrition sessions and useful talks about mental and physical health in regards to the game. The camp brought a diverse group of kids who love soccer from all different parts of the world. This was a wonderful and memorable experience. Thank u

Great location, great coaches, and happy kids learning lots playing a sport they love. Super facilities and easy to get to and from. Standards are very high, and the kids learn so much so quickly. Love that they are also teaching girls and boys together. Mutual respect for the game.

I would not recommend this academy if you are looking for a place that will help train and develop soccer skills. They take absolutely everyone and don't have the resources to provide the professional training they promise. One coach handled two teams with over 20 kids each. It is actually impressive he was able to remember their names.. Sure enough, he didn't have the time to give all of them directions on how to become better and help them develop but the club still charges a penalty if you decide to leave.

All this club cares about is money. They take more players than they need only to take their money. They do not care about developing the players they select and do not teach them anything at all. You need to do something outside of their program to become better. When you try to leave because they do not deliver the service you are paying for, they want more money for the player to be released. I never saw a club that charges its players for its own tournament. I would not recommend them to anyone. If you want your child to learn something, I suggest you look for another place.
