I highly recommend Mount Juliet Soccer Club. Coach Picken is great at identifying what the player needs help with and designing training sessions around those needs. The sessions were fun and the scheduling could not have been easier. We chose Mount Soccer Club because we heard they were great, and I could not be happier with the results. We saw immediate improvements in my sons play and soccer has become even more fun for him than before. I played the game for years and have coached for years and was amazed at how Coach Picken helps the players understand things.

They ran a soccer camp for my middle school girl’s team. They were prepared, positive, and engaging. Our girls got in some good practice and picked up some necessary skills. I was also able to add some new drills to our regular practices.
