New York Salamina S.C.

Let me add to this. Had my son there for almost 2 years. He was an average player and did not get much playing time. I had him on travel teams and spent nearly $1000 a year. I accepted the fact but still had him on teams figuring he would adapt to a competitive level playing with other talented kids but when I would get to the games and had other kids friends who I never even seen before at practices playing in the actual games then thats where I drew the line and stopped going back. Don't even bother going to this academy, the owner is a liar and has no word and yes he is a lunatic.

Review: [redacted] of the soccer school is renting the gynm at [redacted] q, I live around the corner from the school. I saw the ad on the school, and decided to get information and register my son. My son is 13 yrs old, and I wanted to do this so he can socialize, he is an only child. When I went to get info. on 12/*/13,I spoke to [redacted] and asked him specifically that if he had a class where beginners, would be playing. I asked him that question because the kids that I saw playing were kids that seemed to play very well, I did not want to put my son in a situation where he would feel uncomfortable. [redacted] advised me that yes, he had beginners. Then my next question was is there any possible way that I can have my son try out saturday and see if he likes the class, and in fact that I would pay for that one class, he replied "No, if I allow you to do that, then I would be out of business!" Even though I did not like the attitude he gave me, I thought it would not hurt to have my son try it out, so had no choice but to pay $285.00 that would have covered my son till march, 2014. So 12/**/13 came and my son had practice, I took him but realized that they weren't really working with my son, due to them having a tournament on 12/**/13. [redacted] made an annoucement 12/*/13 that they would have to prepare 12/**/13 for tournament. After 40 min of being there and watching my son kick the ball by himself and then being sent to the other side from where the kids were practicing, I got up and asked [redacted] that if he had other beginners coming into the class,I don't kow what his problem was, but he got very aggressive verbally and even threatened my husband and myself of popping us, and that I did not want him to get up from his chair. Mind you this is a man who is over 300 lbs and probably about 6 feet, and I am only 5'1 and 120 lbs, you can imagine how I felt. Also he made a spectacle infront of all the children. he also made me sign a contract under false pretense.Desired Settlement: Honestly, the complaint description did not allow me to fully describe the situation. [redacted] is not a rational man that should be running a business where children are, he demostrated signs of being bi-polar. One moment he was extremely mad, he wanted to pop us, then the next he apologizes, and when he asked me to allow my son back into the class, and I said no, he went back to the maniac, that he originally was.
