Testimonials
What makes the Baby Blues Soccer Academy different from any other academy and why should I sign my daughter up?

"The Baby Blues  Soccer Academy has been an amazing experience for my daughter. She is currently in her third year, starting when she was 5 and has learned so much from the great coaching staff. The Academy does an outstanding job of developing the girls’ soccer skills in a fun atmosphere that has increased my daughter's love for the game of soccer. I feel so fortunate to have some of the top soccer coaches around spending quality time teaching my daughter."

Michelle Mother of Emma


"Having played competitive soccer in Southern California most of my life, I knew there was only one choice when it came to choosing a club for my daughter.  The Baby Blues Academy has exceeded my expectations in every way.  In my opinion, no other club comes close to the level of coaching, competition, and overall dedication to REALLY teaching the girls the game of soccer.  In the 2 years my daughter has played with the Blues, she has grown in every aspect of the game.  Her strength, knowledge, skills, confidence, and most importantly love for the game gets better with every practice.  There is nothing better than your 7 year old daughter walking off the practice field asking, "how many more days until next practice?" That's when you know that you are in the right place."
