"Let me start by saying they truly operate at a professional level and are dedicated to developing players to succeed. The improvement my son has made has been remarkable. Their focus on strategy, technical drills, and teamwork really sets them apart. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to elevate their child's game. Great Soccer Training"
"Really patient with the kids and they do a great job teaching!"
"Amazing improvement on my son's soccer skills."
"Love SouthSide Footy! Such great energy from the moment you speak to their staff to when you meet them in person. Everyone is truly dedicated in advancing your kids soccer skills to another level. Always changing dynamics and drills and offering competitiveness they appreciate and will be with them always. Thank you for creating such a program! My son Coby absolutely loves this place. Happy we found a new home away from home."
"If you're looking for a place to truly develop your soccer skills, Southside Footy is it. My son has been attending for just two months, and the improvement has been incredible. He went from barely knowing how to dribble the ball to now confidently handling it like he really knows what he's doing. What I appreciate most is their approach to training. They teach in clear, structured steps and don't rush the process, which allows the kids to actually understand and build real skills instead of feeling overwhelmed. Whether your child is a complete beginner or looking to sharpen their game, this is a great environment to grow. Highly recommend!"
"Our son is absolutely loving his first month at Southside Footy. We've been really impressed with the coaching and the energy at the sessions. He's coming home excited about what he's learning, and as a parent, I appreciate how organized and professional everything has been. Keep up the great work — we're looking forward to the months ahead!"
"These guys are great. They do care about all aspects of the game, from fundamentals all the way to mentally. I love how serious they are about their classes and the flexibility of their schedule. Definitely a great program"
"I love this place and so does my daughter. Best investment I've made for her. She's been going for a year and no matter the level there is always something new to learn. These guys are very knowledgeable and have wonderful interaction skills with the kids. The love of the game and helping kids reach their full potential is very apparent."
"I highly recommend Southside Footy. The coaches and staff are wonderful. After the first session our grandson could not wait to get back to practice. Love how the coaches make it fun while teaching the sport of soccer."
"Mis hijos se han divertido muchísimo en estas primeras sesiones y, al mismo tiempo, han aprendido una muy buena técnica. Es el primer lugar en Lakeland que encontramos que realmente demuestra profesionalismo y cuenta con una estructura ideal para aprender fútbol desde temprana edad."
"Me gusta mucho esta academia, se enfocan en la tecnica, lo cual para mi es perfecto para iniciar a cualquier niño en futbol."
"My son has been coming here for a few weeks his improvement is tremendous. Then the coaches are amazing not only teaching them the game but how to be respectful. Pushing them in a way that inspires them to be better while enjoying the game. My son would come every day if he had a choice in the matter. We love Southside Footy."
"This place is staffed by the kindest, most decent gentleman. But, that would not matter if it wasn't for the high quality classes that they have. We only have time to do the pickup game on Sunday. However, this game is still well structured and is an excellent place for my son to try out things that he wouldn't necessarily do in his club game. It has helped add confidence and the men running. It have been a big reason for that. Archie loves coming and it has become a central part of our Sunday. I wish we did have time for more training but sadly we are stacked. However, even in the small time they have made a big positive impact. Thank you guys"
