Originally posted by Guest View PostHi all, looking for feedback about Cedar stars Academy in Monmouth New Jersey. Has anyone had experience with this club & their coaches?
Coach Niko Stefanides is the coach of the team we are considering for soccer next year. Girls team. I’m told it’s very high level. How far do these teams travel? Are the coaches very good with young girls?

No he won't develop your kid into anything special. I agree. Neither will pda. Kid has to develop herself, he'll put her against the best competition possible whether it be tournaments or scrimmages and give her the opportunity to develop vs the best
Niko is fantastic. He’s tough. But will push your girl to be the best they can be.

Best advice is stay away. He will make inappropriate comments about girls on the team.
he will play favorites.
He does bully kids & expect them to love him.
he will will not promote hard work over talent.
Zero feedback to kids not in the top 11.
He will give zilch playing time to run players off a team. Not based on effort or hard work.
in many years being with the club no player evaluation or feedback to parents.
If you care about your kid go elsewhere.

Coach Niko is an Awesome coach. All you have to do is look at all the players. He developed the best players in our area. Now those girls are being heavily recruited or have already ready committed to division 1 or 2 schools. Match Fit and PDA are not responsible for their development, in fact, Match Fit put them back in their development by their horrible training and bad coaching.
Any heavily recruited player has MANY coaches, trainers, parents and most of all themselves to thank for doing well.
Niko is a glory hog and gossip king.
Just because he has been trying to stay under radar after being punched in the face doesn’t mean he’s changed as a person.
He’s a bully and toxic!

Not perfect but the guy is beyond dedicated to his teams. Maybe it's strong desire to get results for mgmt but he dedicates alot of his personal time outside of what contract requires with extra games and tournaments. The guy lives and breathes this stuff , he isn't for everybody but you have to have respect for a man that takes alot of time out of his life to do extra for kids.

Unlike RT down the road who puts his teams in the ocean tournament and boast about winning it….. And RT is afraid to scrimmage other top teams.
Niko is fantastic. He’s tough. But will push your girl to be the best they can be.
