Sporting Saint Louis

★★★★Anna Prichard

Bleachers s would be appreciated. Gotta bring a chair or stay in your car.

★Sara Obermark

Beware of this club. They claim to focus on development but they are only focused on stacking teams to make as much money as possible. The club lured us in by offering a place on the MLS NeXT/NAL team and only after we paid in full (thousands of dollars) we learned the roster was so large our son had to sit out games and did not get invited to the coveted showcase. I requested a refund since we left after only playing 8 games and the leadership team has ignored all of my requests.

★★★Chris Cunningham

Have only one entry/exit and don't alter practice times on weekdays so it's a traffic jam coming and going. Plus they have a lacrosse field with special events that can result in 30-minute traffic jams . Also, this club plus others don't really train their coaches on coaching, they just expect them to get certified which usually involves a parent taking an online coarse and passing a test. They don't pay coaches much, so basically you are paying 2 to 3K at most clubs for field usage, games, and referees.

St. Louis Development Academy (formerly known as Sporting) is so good at teaching character such as humility. Every time my son has participated in Sporing tournaments, they match him against teams that way outrank his level. The couple times we participated in tournaments sponsored by other clubs, the teams were all at the same level, but not Sporting. His last game of the final tournament today was a great way to end the year losing 7-0, reminding him all the improvement and hard work the boys had done amounted to nothing. Thank Sporting! You guys are the best! (I would have given a lower star except for the coach).

My kids don’t just go there to kick balls they acctuly have fun. The teams are always nice and acceptive parking isn’t that great though.
