Last season, 2013-2014, my son played for the first time in this club in Classic 1. He had played soccer alternately in two other clubs for the last 10 years. But he wanted to try Concorde because he though it would have the best coaches. -Judging for the cost, Concorde charge three more times then his former club-Without counting the uniform, which was expensive too. In the end, it was a not so pleasant experience; his team barely had 11 players , practices were poor in assistance and some times were canceled. I did attend all the practices as a parent, and I noticed that coaching was below the level of his former club. He had signed, and I was told that he would play the whole year; but it was not the case, they only played during the fall season and that was it! I didn't hear from them again, until I contacted them to ask about Spring season and I was told that they did not play during Spring season. I felt ripped of! Hope this review helps some other parents. Thanks for reading it!
