Antelope Ayso Antelope Youth Soccer Organization

I have to give a 3 star… because the year I coached was fun and I loved it… except dealing with the condescending, arrogant other parent coach… the second year was a horror story. The parents, the coaches, nothing was organized and the constant begging for volunteers… omg. These poor kids, deserve better. It makes me sad.

Do not join! Check out North Highlands Antelope Soccer instead. I registered my son with AYSO for the fall to try soccer for the first time. I paid a few months ago and waited for news. A week ago I got a phone call stating my sons team had no coach and asking that I volunteer. I explained that I have a new baby and no soccer knowledge. I was told that is fine because kids this age dont need a great coach and it was only one hour per week… a 30 minute practice followed by a 30 minute game. I was appalled… I paid over $ 100 and should now coach these kids myself. with no soccer knowledge… for only an hour a week? I talked to his basketball team mate who registered with North Highlands Antelope soccer league and they have regular twice per week practices as well as weekend games… for the samefee! I tried to call AYSO and you can only leave a message. I waited two day w no response. I sent an email to every contact email on their site requesting a refund so I can late register him to the other organization. Finally I got a call from someones angry husband stating I could have a refund of the registration fee but NOT for his uniform as I had already washed it in anticipation of the season I paid for months ago thats set to start soon. So i have a uniform I have no use for that I paid for. AND even though I paid cash… he doesnt know when where or how I will get my refund for the remainder of my money. I was then rudely told that if I thought «3 hours of practice a week is appropriate» for my son that I should take him to the other league (um yes I believe receiving the coaching hours I paid for is entirely appropriate thanks!) Implying that I am a bad mother. And THEN told that if I wanted a coach that knew the game I should check around and find that I would have to pay $ 200 or more per month. I advised him that I am already registering my son withe North Highlands Antelope league for the exact same price withe twice a week regular practices AND games. He was condescending and rude throughout the conversation. I am left with a $ 30 I believe uniform that he has no use for and a promise of a partial refund… somehow…someday…somewhere. While that worked for West Side Story… it doesnt work for ME NOW. I will be attending their every function until I receive my refund.
