What Our Clients Are Saying

"Our oldest daughter has been training with VSA since she was six years old. She is now twelve and she continues to attend any and all VSA dynamics classes, camps and clinics that we can get her into. Raul and the VSA coaches are professional, skilled, experienced and hard working. VSA's camps and classes are well run and geared towards all ages and skill levels. Our children are very fortunate to have Coach Raul and his group of soccer coaches in Marion County."

"There are no words! My boys have been a part of this program for many years. The coaches are top notch. Not only do they develop them as soccer players, but the coaches care about their development as young men and women outside of the game. This is priceless! Our family loves Coach Raul and the entire VSA family! Much love and respect."

"If your child is interested in working hard and improving their soccer skills then Valley Soccer Academy is the place to go. Coach Raul, Nate, and Bre ran a fantastic soccer dynamics clinic in Fairmont this week.
Not only are new skills learned and students taught from their level up. The drills and skills are well thought out and explained in an easy to understand way. Skills are learned and practiced in a disciplined and fun environment.
Here is the feedback I received from my son after he attended.
Day 1 man that was tough I don't even know if I can do this.
Day 2 there's no reason I can't do this. This is good I like it. I've learned some new moves.
Day 3. Man it's over I wish it was on again tomorrow. It's been fun and changed how I see and play the game.
Thanks again VSA we will be back!"

"My daughter has been going to VSA for soccer training (dynamic classes) since 2014 and I have seen a tremendous improvement in her soccer skills. Each year she gets better than then previous year. The coaches know how to push her in a positive way, for every "not so great" critique there is always a compliment or positive note that follows! I would recommend VSA to anyone no matter what their soccer level......you will see an improvement with out a doubt! My husband & I were so impressed with Raul and his coaching staff that our daughter now plays for his travel soccer club in Marion county and we live in Harrison county, where there is also a travel league. It is absolutely worth the drive to have her train with Raul and his coaching staff, they are simply the best!!"
