We have lived here for 5 years now, and have had the chance to observe the stark and stellar difference between BWP and other clubs in the area. The Impressive Coaching staff have not only coached my son in soccer, but they have furthered his character development and sense of responsibility. Our son loves this organization! It truly is an elite organization that we are fortunate to have in the Capital District!

The Black Watch grassroots program is a nothing more than a glorified recreation team. My son participated in exactly one tournament over the course of the year that was less than an hour from Albany. Our experience was that practice was inexplicably canceled from time to time. The bottom line is that if you want your child to be part of a competitive soccer program that will keep him/her active at a very competitive level throughout the year, we found this program to be sadly lacking.The catastrophic mistake this organization makes is that it does not seem to value the idea of serious grassroots development and hopes that phenomenal players will appear out of nowhere at the 12/13 year old age-group. Sadly, if your child excels in soccer, there are very few choices in the Albany area.

The lone bright spot for us was the other kids and parents on my sons team. As for the club, very poorly run and expensive for what you get. Not flexible at all with parents and the admin is a joke. We moved on from this dumpster-fire.

Have been involved in club for 9 years. My kids love it! the coaching staff is amazing. Coaches have so many years and levels of experience. I cant imagine going to any other club if you live in the capital district.

Very possibly the worst soccer club I have ever been involved with. The coaching staff is poor, rude and argumentative. No control over the players. They will happily take your money and not develop your child.
