Welland Soccer Club

Mixed feelings: I have kids on two different teams at this club and the experience varies greatly between them. One team has a terrific coaching team, very development-focused and coaches are wonderful role models for the kids. The other team is, to be honest, an awful experience. Coaches are constantly swearing at the kids and other teams’ kids, the parents are following suit and shouting inappropriately during practices and games, and you can definitely see the negative impact it has on all the kids. To be honest, it’s embarrassing and disappointing. Bottom line - buyer beware. Good outdoors fields and indoor turf. Your kids will spend many days of the week here with their teams and you need to consider what/who you want influencing your kids. Do your homework and hopefully it works out for your kid.

It is common practice for Coaches to bring their kids onto teams way above their skill level. Happens every year.

Great experience and learning thank you from our family to yours !:) my kids played for both 5 and 7 league had wonderful experiences!

They take care of the grounds pretty well but please get a bigger parking lot!!. Too many families at the same time leads to cars parking having to resort to parking on the grass. Everything else is fine. They have vending machines and clean washrooms too.

The March Break camp was great. The director was amazing with my kid and really stood put. However, we've been there a year and if your kid isn't travel team ready then the house league will be too much. The coaches don't understand that it's a rec league. Kids of all abilities should be playing and learning. The club does little to enforce this and the whole atmosphere is too competitive for a program that advertises as all inclusive, no matter your skill level. Also, the teams have no practices. In the summer they do but it's 1 hour before the game. Its warm up, not a practice. Such a wonderful facility, it's unfortunate it's utilized in such an unfriendly way.
