In my opinion Niko is a very good trainer at CSA. He’s tough but fair and has high standards which my D And I appreciate. We are happy at CSA

Agreed, we are happy there as well. From what I’ve seen so far, if your kid is willing and is putting in the work, it works well. If your kid wants to slack, you’d be better off at a town team like wall.

Agreed he is a very tough trainer and probably should stick with that. As a coach, hmmm that can be hit or miss depending on what your looking for. Put it this way… 3 kids, which will be about $9000 for the year in CSA tuition… if you can pay that, your kids will be on a team. May not be the A team but they will take’em.

No options besides CSA and Wall in Monmouth cty?

CSA- never want to be on the b team. You are treated differently by club. Get all the crumbs left. You don’t want your kid to be player 15- however many they have on the team. They will barely if ever play.

Interesting. I’ve seen a few players move for the b team up to the a team at CSA. They definitely seem to promote lateral movement if it’s deserving.

Different parent at CSA with Niko who is a tough but fair trainer and coach. Teacher of the game. Highest compliment I could give a coach. If you’re kid has grit or building toughness then your kid will thrive. If your kid needs constant validation even when not merited then your kid may struggle. One thing I’ll say is you’ll never complain about the value (training, coaching, play, etc) [in the NJ soccer market] you receive for the money you pay at CSA if you (parent) and kid are fully in.

JS is a Wall coach, if he coached at CSA he’d be the best coach there.

Niko the great communicator.
09 team flew to California this past December.
When they landed he sent out messages to parents letting them know their daughter would NOT be playing with their team during the tournament. Instead they would be bench players for the 08 team. Great job j/o

Everyone says he’s a great communicator & wonderful salesman. Once you sign up you’ll never speak to him again. Bait & switch

That’s true but what would you rather do be stuck on a town team playing low level EDP??

If that is where the kid wants to be what difference does it make since they are saving money for the same soccer experience.

Go pay the big club money if you want but your kid will not be playing any higher level soccer than any other kids from the area.

Well said! For example local area town teams like Wall, Ocean etc are just as good as CSA, PDA Shore etc.

Absolutely! Take a look at edp brackets and you'll see that wall,ocean,etc, are same bracket or better than csa white teams in many instances especially young age groups. Why waste money?
