Washington Timbers Football Club

★Jessica Evans-Brown

Insane for an organization to allow kids to sign up and get excited to be told that they dont get to play because the league lacks resources. Idk how they pick and choose who gets a team and who doesn't but my child is new to the area. There was no way to be a returning player or anything of that sort.

I would like to put two new players on the team a 10 year old and a 9 year old boy

*Now known as Columbia Premier Football Club.* This is an unethical organization with poor communication, zero oversight, and a management team lacking accountability (all the way to the top!). After many years within the Rec league, we were hoping the Academy would be a higher level of training and play, but instead, we have wasted nearly a full season at $1000+ for an under-qualified coach and no tangible training. Though a number of parents on our team have complained, management refuses to take any responsibility or action, or offer any kind of refund. Former players, parents, and coaches will attest to similar experiences. It is a complete disservice to the kids wanting to learn. Absolutely would not recommend.

Great coaches and families! My children love playing soccer here. Need a paved parking lot (enough talking about it), and real bathrooms. If you want to be a premier club, then you need to look like it. More organizational leadership and transparency from the administration is needed on club goals and objectives. Especially for pulling away from the Timbers and reverting back to an old club name.

The volunteers, players, and coaches we have interacted with have been great, and I'd go as far as to say exceptional... the 1-star does not reflect these good people. It is solely aimed at the Washington Timbers FC administrative staff, who are terrible. I rarely write negative reviews, but I feel compelled after my wife, son, and I were treated so poorly. (1) Their communication is awful and has been since our family started with the organization almost 3 years ago. I coached for them the first year and scratched my head numerous times at how bad the communication was and how utterly disorganized they were. (2) They run great coaches out of the league with their terrible policies and rules... these are unpaid volunteers who are phenomenal - who does this?!?! This just happened again this summer. (3) Their business practices have proven to be deplorable after they pulled the rug out from under us. They decided that they were going to keep our money after blowing up the nucleus of our team. They did offer a refund minus some arbitrary $20 admin fee that they pulled out of the air, but then decided to not give us anything back after we made the decision that our son was no longer going to play because his all-time favorite coach would no longer be coaching (remember, they ran him out of the league). They are happy to take your money, but don't expect much else from this group of people. It's not about the money for us now, it's about their ethics and business practices at this point. They were given every opportunity to do the right thing, but opted for the alternative. Organizations who govern themselves this way and operate with a "holier than thou" attitude need to be called out. We really tried to sort things out with them in a professional manner, but their communication has been almost zero and their "couldn't care less" attitude was the last straw. My children will play soccer elsewhere and I truly hope that others will share their negative experiences with this organization operating behind the scenes. If you've had a good experience with them... be thankful, but proceed with caution! It's so unfortunate that a great community has to deal with this subpar administration.
