Parent Testimonials

Hear from the people who see the growth firsthand. Parents share their experiences — from increased confidence and maturity to academic improvement and on-field development. These testimonials offer genuine insight into the environment, coaching, support, and long-term value their children receive.

Steve Richards is the kind of coach parents hope their child gets to learn from. He challenges players to work hard, take responsibility, and grow both on and off the field. After attending multiple Post to Post camps, my son came home each day exhausted, confident, and excited to return. The environment is demanding but fun, with thoughtful coaching that pushes players outside their comfort zones and helps them discover new strengths. With support from experienced college and former players, Steve provides a high-quality, trustworthy development experience for families.

"Christian is a wonderful coach and leadership coach. He took on working with my son to help him develop his leadership and communication skills. The results were fantastic. In a few weeks, I saw my son become a better communicator with adults and a leader with his teammates. Working with Christian, you will receive inspiration and activities to help you improve continually. Christian is a "Coach" who will believe in your child."

I am Ryan and Grey Vanhoy’s mom. I wanted to thank each of you for the effort you put into the players at the Post to Post+ camp in Shelby, NC, this summer. Thank you for boosting not only my kids’ skills, but more importantly, their confidence on and off the field. Weeks after camp, my kids still reference your coaching advice.
Ryan’s coach even sent me a text a week or so after camp that said, ‘whatever he is doing, keep it up.’ I attribute that comment to what he learned from you.
I don’t think coaches could be thanked enough. Thank you for sharing your wisdom of the sport, your skills, and your time.

"Coach DeVries is a mentor, leader, and, most of all, a friend of mine. Through his leadership and generosity, I was given the opportunity to grow as an athlete, student, but most of all, into a confident man. I owe a lot to him as a coach, the values he instills in his players and students are changes that last a lifetime."

"Christian and his team stand tall at the crossroads of two important bodies of knowledge - sports and professional coaching. This unique combination makes them a tremendous blessing to soccer clubs, schools, and other related institutions. They know the game. They know that mastery of the game is about information processing and decision making. Players and coaches will learn to maximize their performance. That's pretty cool."
