Testimonials

Alicia Arevalo

My 5 year old loved the experience with Patiño soccer, Josh and Heather are SO encouraging to all the kids! All coaches are great with kids, teaching teamwork, growth and importance of a good attitude. I am so glad to have them in our community!

Christine Sylvester

We just finished our 1st 6-week session with Patiño Training Grounds and our 6yo son had a blast. He had never played soccer before and he learned a lot! He’s excited to expand his knowledge with PTG skills training this summer.

My husband and I loved the passion of Josh Patiño…he’s such a great role model and motivator for the kids. Excellent weekly communication. The teams are small, so plenty of playing time. I hear there’s drama with some other soccer leagues. This one is nothing but positive energy and happy families. So glad we joined and will continue to happily give them our free time!

Matthew S.

My son’s confidence, skill set, teamwork, and fundamentals have all improved and I highly recommend this group for anyone looking to improve from any level. It is unlike any rec league we have ever been apart of.

We are so excited to have found Coach Patino! After Florida Premier not having REC for my sons age group my kid was upset that he couldnt play. He is everything soccer all day long! I found Coach Patino and signed up right away and my kid is so happy! We signed up for another 6 weeks! Highly Recommend!

Brittany Medina

We couldn’t be happier with this program. We originally signed up because of how close and convenient it is to where we live, but we were blown away by Coach Patino and how well run his practices and games are. He organizes the drills so kids are staying active and learning skills and there is very minimal standing around. Teams are smaller so they all get fairly equal playing time in games.

He also takes the time to learn the names of ALL of the kids. I don’t know how he does it but the personal attention is noticed and appreciated and the kids feel it too. My kids loved it and can’t wait to play again. Thank you Coach for an outstanding experience. Highly recommend!

Lindsay Bash

We decided to try out this new recreational soccer program because of the convenient location. We are blown away by the level of attention and instruction to each of the athletes. This program is smaller than some of the other more established ones, but the focus on teaching the kids the fundamentals and proper technique is the best we have found in a recreational league.
