This is our 3-4 season with Savannah United & we love it!! I have twin girls that play with Coach Robert Long. He is a great coach, really loves the sport and cares about the kids. Makes it fun while teaching them the sport. The fields are great in savannah, always organized and ready. Never a problem, look forward to playing with them for years to come!!!
Savannah United is the best Soccer Club in Georgia! I highly recommend bringing your kids to play. The coaches and all of the staff make it fun and its always a learning experience. The club provides structure that is needed for your child to succeed. At Savannah United you will have quality coaches, something thats hard to find. My daughter left the rec.center to come here. Ive lived in 3 different states in the past years and we finally found our home Savannah United. I have noticed with other coaches and staff that they have one thing in common, Passion! They want your child to have fun and learn the game at the same time. My daughter loves to play for Savannah United. If you want growth and your child to build self-esteem than this is the place to be!The fields are always well maintained and each field is labeled to guide you where to go. Ive done my research and by far Savannah United is the best choice. My child has learned so much in such a short time.We plan on staying with Savannah United for many upcoming years! Thank you for a greatseason Mr. Smith & Mr. Long, we look forward to being back on the fields.Savannah United Rocks !!!!!
Received an email stating the first practice was 2 weeks before the start date. No person of contact or coach name. Get to the complex, wander around for 25 minutes and found 4 other families looking for practice. Couldn’t get a hold of anyone so we left.2 weeks later show up and can’t find the field. Go and stand at the “Information” tent for 10 minutes before someone shows up who can help us. Get to the correct field and talk to a coach. Never asks a name just kicks us a ball and walks away. My kid gets no further attention from a coach. After 15 minutes we leave.They clearly only want money and don’t care about families’ experience. Do yourself a favor; save your money and sanity and find ANY other organization. We’ll be signing back up for Soccer Shots next season.
Fantastic program and coaches! Were grateful our daughter has the opportunity to play with Savannah United. Shes learned a lot and has huge smile on her face whenever shes on the field. Thanks Savannah United, keep up the great work!
They deserve a 0 star. All they are after is money. They do not care who is training the kids, how the kids are being trained. If you complain, the coach will be informed and your son/daughter will be yelled at and be a bench warmer. Look for another option like I did wasting my money for a year.
Being a player on a Savannah United Academy soccer team has only deepened our sons love of the game. The Academy/Select programs are filled with excellent coaches who are very dedicated and highly skilled. This opportunity for players to move beyond a recreational team atmosphere is a fantastic experience. When a player is ready to commit more time, travel, and dedication to the sport, Savannah United Academy/Select soccer is the way to go for an opportunity of more competitive play. Our son has participated in the skills training as well and we have been very happy with his progression. The skills program is fantastic and gives specific attention to improving each players skill level. We are very happy to be a part of the Savannah United soccer club and look forward to many more seasons.
I love this club. I was with Celtic until it formed into Savannah United. One coach I would like to give a shout out to is Coach Kieth. He really helpful with all coaches and the club. He also used to be my coach. Another one is Coach Dustin who is sadly not their anymore. He was also my coach believed in everybody, like we went to pks 8n a game and he put the smallest person on our team to kick last and he made the pk and made us win. I love the attitude, humor, and hardwork in the coaches. They have trained weak players into better players and better players into even more better players. One Vision, One Community, One Club!!! Savannah United!!!!!!!!!!
My son loves soccer thanks to the nurturing, fun coaches at Savannah United. Soccer is by far his favorite activity. Even as he gets older and the game becomes more challenging, it still gives him great joy because Savannah United keeps the game fun.
Savannah United teaches your kids to love the game of Soccer. So less expensive than a big city soccer club. We Savannah are so very lucky to have US Soccer Accredited coaches working with the kids. Savannah United is a great soccer club.
I have been a soccer coach for around ten years. I recently moved both my kids to Savannah United to see the difference. I have been amazed by the professionalism and overall outstanding knowledge of the coaches and staff. My kids have improved well beyond what I could have imagined. My wife and I would and have recommended that our friends try this club. We were told that this club was not family oriented and that turned out to be the farthest from the truth. My daughter is a traveling softball player also. The staff and coaches were understanding of our dilemma and helped us to ensure that she was able to get the most out of both sports. We appreciate all that the coaches and staff have done for us.
We have enjoyed our familys involvement with Savannah United since its inception. From our youngest to our oldest players, all have received excellent coaching, feedback, encouragement, and opportunities for development. I highly recommend Savannah United.
We have been a part of Savannah United Soccer Club since it formed around mid 2013. Our kids have had a good experience learning soccer from some fine youth soccer coaches in the Academy and Select programs. Not only have they received some fine coaching from a variety of the clubs soccer coaches, they have been taught how to play the game with respect, learned the values of team work and gained many friendships with other youth soccer players. The club ( from my personal experience ) is also focused as well on its very youngest soccer players ( those between 3 and 8 years old ). It provides them with sound technical training as well as fun environment to develop a positive outlook for their soccer experience. This is truly a community club that is engaged with its soccer family in a variety of ways.
I have played in Savannah United since it started and at first I hated it but now I love it, the coaches are great, funny, and strict(in a good way) at what they do. I know many of other soccer players are really good SU is making good players
I have never experienced such a negative parent experience. Extremely LOUD, extremely ignorant and uneducated of the game. I had to put in ear buds not to listen to media, but to drown out the trash coming out of the mouths of the parents. Someone needs to address this. Specifically, 19U Classic 1D.
I am a parent whose child has played several seasons of Savannah United soccer, in the U-6 program. I have been pleased with the clubs communication with parents, overall organization in practice and game scheduling, their attentiveness to players needs, and the coaches enthusiasm for the sport. The coaches emphasize teamwork and skills with the younger players, and are very effective at teaching the sport to these young players. We look forward to many years with Savannah United.
I was extremely shocked to see just how unorganized Savannah United is! They didnt have enough field space for the teams, and left theNewer teams to fend for themselves. Left our team searching and wandering the feilds until an area was available TO SHARE, and waste paid time that was to practice. This happened 8-10 times during the SEASON. We had a round of storms come through, and they sent out an email stating they had no slot available to reschedule the morning teams but the games scheduled in the afternoon could. By NO means was it weather to ever play in. Our team was never able too reschedule the game but, had to forfeit because no one showed up because of the weather!!! During the playoffs, sigh, it took the DAY of the play offs, for them to finally send out an email of the correct times and dates. I brought some concerns up to the director Jeff Story-Pitts, besides him avoiding taking responsibility, there was no attempt to addresses any of the issues, just pointing fingers on the county or proclaiming he had no idea, even though he is present during practice and games.... Though he was very nice, he brushed the issue aside without a second thought.The coaches: the children had NO IDEA who the coach was! One of the coachs (who was, I think the asst. coach) was actually great! He showed up to all practices AND games, great direction and really did his best to make it fun! But, the other coach was horrible! Not only did we see him half the time, I saw no communication of what was asked or expected. They were running around confused the whole time. To be honest, I thought he was just a volunteer with no direction. Yes, the children had fun. Yes, it was an experience our family will remember and most of all an experience to learn from. DONT GO THROUGH SAVANNAH UNITED FOR YOUR FAMILIES SOCCER NEEDS!!! There are better organizations for you!
Where do I begin? Truly not an academy level program...not anything like programs abroad. It is a rec program at best. The club only shows interest in children who already show natural promise (example: they will invite them at academy level to elite or pre-elite training, which is just an extra night of training. On top of that, they make great effort to keep this secret from players and parents who are not invited, causing only poor feelings, rather than being straight with them.) If any of your kids want to learn football, sorry, soccer, from scratch, best to find a small program with committed and consistent coaching staff. (SU can not keep coaches and we have had our share of inadequate coaches). SU is too big and really seems only interested in numbers (hence collecting money) and serving those they have become closely affiliated with (nepotism without being related or cronyism). We have bounced around from club to club and they really are all the same...the big ones are, rather. If you stay as long as 2-3 years, you will see parents bouncing their kids back and forth between them.If you are looking for an entrée or pathway to college, do proper research. Do not engage any club in talks, as they will only toot their own horns and, if they are lacking scruples, will talk badly about other clubs to make themselves appear more attractive. Rather, look to their standings state wide and look to see how those standings have developed over time. If you do not see much progress from year to year, following a specific age group, steer clear.If your child just wants to play or you only want to get your child engaged in an activity, stay local if you are from outside of Savannah or only register them for rec. if you insist on playing with SU. At least you wont feel annoyed by spending as much money for so very little.
Unless your kid is a special talent, skip United. This weekend my boys team of five kids, squared off against the United select team of twelve of the best young soccer kids Ive ever seen. It was unsafe, and when one of our kids got hurt, we went from having no subs to literally playing four on five, against a team of twelve at noon under 100 degree heat. It was not fun. It was glaringly obvious where United puts their money & effort. It sure isnt into little boys who want to play a fun soccer game. United took my money & has given us the absolute worst soccer experience imaginable. Never again.
My three daughters have been with SU since their beginning and have loved every minute of it. I have one in Academy and two in Select, so that means lots of practices and also lots of traveling. Mine didnt start playing soccer until they were 9-10yrs old, so they had to learn the game quickly to catch up to their teammates level. Savannah Uniteds coaching staff have trained and encouraged my older girls to become PDP, DTC and ELITE players in just two short years. I have no doubt that with the coaches guidance, my youngest will follow in their footsteps on the field!
Fun place, sweet and friendly workers.
Its ok for rec soccer but not for anything else. Club just wants your money. They dont use any aids to teach the children. Everthing is unorginzed. And some Coaches are clearly only there for the money.
