Southern Maine Athlete Academy

★★★★★Tatsiana Bianetskaya

We’ve had a fantastic experience with Southern Maine Athlete Academy! The coaches are incredibly kind, supportive, and encouraging, creating a fun and positive environment where kids can truly build confidence and improve their soccer skills. Every session is well organized, energetic, and focused on both learning and having fun. Coach Jeremy, the head coach, has been especially wonderful to work with. He is very responsive, communicative, and clearly cares about each player’s development and experience. It’s clear that the entire program is built around helping kids grow both as athletes and teammates. Highly recommend them to any family looking for a positive and engaging athletic program for their kids!

Our son has been doing soccer since he was five. (He is almost 11 now) He was getting bored with the program we had him in so we tried SMAA. Right away they were far more invested in my son's experience. They not only focus on his soccer skills but his athletic capabilities. They are ensuring that he is a well rounded athlete. Even better is that the groups are small. This makes training a little more individualized then larger groups. My son went from wanting to leave soccer to telling me the new program is so much fun! The program is further away and cost a bit more but so worth it! The coaches have been amazing. The owner has been more than accommodating and makes sure to check in to see how my son is doing. I am so glad that we tried SMAA.

We are only a month into training and i cannot say enough about this experience! Not only is my son having fun and developing skills, hes developing confidence, and hes having a blast doing it! As someone whos been working with children my whole life, I cannot speak highly enough about the staff here. The interactions they have with these kids are professional, supportive, constructive, and affirming. Coach Jeremy knows every kiddo who walka through those doors by name and doesnt miss any opportunity to give them each the one on one they deserve! We couldn't be happier to be a part of this family and look forward to many years of training alongside them!

We started back in May and our daughter was very hesitant before starting. In her mind it seemed like just another workout in her already busy soccer schedule. We had our 1:1 evaluation with Coach Jeremy and after reviewing her skills for 45 mins he was spot on with what her strengths and weaknesses were. We jumped in and got started right away as we were excited to see how this program would help further develop her as an athlete. Our daughter fell in love with the workouts and looks forward to going. She consistently gets two sessions in even with her high school, and club season. She is thriving and I know it is due to the extra work she is putting in, and following the program that the highly skilled coaches at SMAA have put together. We love seeing how confident she is now to execute foot skills in a game, her 1v1 decision making, and movement with and without the ball. I see how much this program has changed her game and am so happy we found Southern Maine Athlete Academy. Thanks for being very supportive of our athlete.

SMAA has given us a truly unique experience over the last six months. I have seen not only growth in my daughter’s soccer skills but how strong and confident she has become. The coaches show up every day ready to challenge and encourage each athlete as they push themselves to become better soccer players. Cannot recommend SMAA enough !
