Coach Cavero is an excellent man! He has patience and is greatly knowledgeable about the game. The kids love him but at the same time respect him, so they listen. Can’t wait till the next training session.

My daughter loved the soccer this season at Montclair FC soccer club. The coach Mr. Luis is knowledgeable and great with all the kids. He gives personal attention and is a great role model. There was a graduation and ceremony for the kids participating, my daughter loved her medal. We will be continuing in the Spring with this soccer club.

Coach Luis has been a fantastic coach for our son. This is our first year playing soccer and in only a few short weeks, my son has learned so much, both fundamentals and gameplay. Coach is very understanding and patient to the younger players but also a firm leader. We will definitely be signing up again. Thanks Coach Luis!

Great club! My Son loves it . The Club has a strong focus on the players and development rather than just playing to get trophies. Luis is an amazing coach he is very supportive. We have been with all of the big clubs and always felt like we were just another check coming in each month but with Montclair FC i can see they actually care about my concerns and my child's development overall. From the beginning has given a positive outlet for kids and parents to have a positive experience within soccer world. The attention to making the players growth the number one priority and for the parents to receive support from the club had been amazing and has truly set a new high standard on the club soccer where the environment is positive and they just makes the experiences that much greater!
