Santos Soccer Complex

Vladimir “Vladi” Tsukruk

Clean facility with good concession stands and bathrooms. Plenty of easy parking. Would be nice to have some more shaded areas closer to the fields but we brought our own chairs and canopy and were just fine! Grass also looked well taken care of, can tell they have a good groundskeeping team!

I've read some of the older reviews and should mention two things before I review. 1 - some parents will be upset based on there experience with one team, one coach and one manager. Each experience will be unique team by team. 2- There are some old review on here when the club was "Strikers." They should probably be disregarded given all of the structural/operational changes to Santos. All of that being said, I'm a parent that has three kids in this club. My review is based on dealing with 5-6 coaches, and several team managers. This will be our third year now with two of them in club and my younger in academy. My oldest did one season with another popular local club and it was a disaster to say the least (Big red flag if the coach has two other teams!) I have been impressed with the coaching staff at Santos, though some are certainly better than others. Santos is so much more affordable (check website for pricing) than other clubs and each of our teams have been very competitive. No Sunday play is a big benefit as well for those interested in that. The club just gets creative on working around this. For example, we are headed to San Diego next month for our 2012 team and the organizers are going to accommodate this for us so we can participate. Sometimes we have more games on a Saturday, or push the final to Monday. So far this has worked out just fun. Some people might find this to be annoying, but I really value my Sunday's. I'm cool with occasional Sunday play, but the amount of Sunday play at the other club was exhausting. I would highly recommend this club. Staff is great, facilities are clean, coaches are awesome and the fields are some of the best in the area! There aren't many clubs in the area that can host night games under the lights.
