Little Rock Rangers Soccer Club / Little Rock Rangers Academy

"Very little lighting for games that are scheduled in the evening. This is the second time they have wanted to play at sunset, and both games ended up playing most of the second half in darkness"

"My son started playing recreational soccer at the age of 7. He had the natural ability to play the sport. I, coming from a football, basketball, and baseball background, didn't know anything about soccer. I tried to teach him the fundamentals the best that I could. He progressed rapidly in recreational soccer. I could see the potential and his coaches could see it as well. They recommended that he play up an older division. I pondered that thought because I wanted to see him excel. On the final game of his recreational season, we played a LRR rec team at their facility on Vance St. Upon arrival, the Rangers were having some sort of training and all the kids looked to be having A LOT OF FUN!!! All were dressed in their practice jerseys. There had to be about 40-50 kids. From that very moment, I knew I had to get my son in this program! He tried out and he was like a fish out of water during tryouts because he never had formal training where he had to perform technical drills. He was offered a position within his age division. He was hesitant at first because he was leaving his friends behind on the recreational side. But I encouraged him and offered to him that if he didn't like it after a year, he could go back to playing recreational. During the summer, his LRR coach offered private lessons to try to get my son up to speed when the official season started. The coaching that my son and the other kids receive from the LRR staff is TOP NOTCH! First off, the amount of training that they receive is phenomenal! The quality of the training is unlike anything I've ever seen in kids sports! My son has made excellent progress within the organization and when asked if he wanted to go back to playing recreational soccer, he gave me the look of "Are you kidding me dad???" I would highly recommend the Ranger Academy to any parent!!!!"

"This is one the best organizations! They are organized, extremely helpful and accommodating, and above all, it has made my son fall even more in love with soccer! The skill set my son is learning on and off the field is incredible and it’s because of the very talented and out of this world coaches! We could not have asked for a better program!!"

"This is the first year our 10-year-old son has played for the Rangers. We have been thoroughly impressed with the level of skills that he has learned. Our son loves the coach as well as the coaches from the other teams that help him with training throughout the week. There are so many new skills he has learned this season. It feels very professional all around. We just love it."

"The Little Rock Rangers youth academy has been a huge benefit to my son and I could not recommend them more! There is a real focus with this organization on individual player development and I have noticed my son blossoming under their coaching. They are led by top notch experienced licensed coaches that have the ability to adapt to individual kids learning styles to bring the most out of each kid in their program. Best of all, they make sure the kids have FUN and are falling in love with the game while at the same time pushing them to excel!"
