B Espirito Santo

My kids are in their 2nd and 3rd years of SBD and absolutely love it.

The level of technical training and skills they have developed through the program is second to none….. for me though, in addition to the actual soccer, it is ALL the other amazing things that come with this program that is so special.

The team work, respect, building of intrinsic motivation, self esteem and sense of self, camaraderie and self reflection on and off the pitch has been life changing for both my kids.

The coaches are compassionate, motivational, and challenge the kids to be their best selves not only in soccer, but as humans.

Couldn’t recommend any more highly!
