Under top-level coaching and challenging training programs, she is continuing to grow and develop as a person and player. The coaches and trainers challenge the players tactically, technically, and physically to be better athletes and teammates.

“Our journey with Wizard Oak Brook FC began six years ago as our first introduction to travel soccer. At first, we didn’t know what to expect, but soon we learned we had picked the best club! The Coaches are all amazing, not only teaching high-level skills at a young age but also working on the psychology behind becoming a great player. They emphasize self-confidence, team spirit, and mental toughness without yelling from the sidelines. This fosters a great love of the game. My boys never stop playing! As this fun-loving and stimulating club surrounds you, you quickly start to feel as if your team is your family. We have enjoyed the camaraderie felt with our boys’ teams and other Wizard families. From out-of-state tournaments to international competitions, this club has it all!”

“This was our first year with Wizard Oak Brook FC and I'm very impressed with the quality of training and development that my son experienced this year. We came from a club where there was little cross-positional development and teaching of game strategy. The focus was only on the top-tier players in that program resulting in inconsistent playing time for my son. At Wizard, my son and his teammates learned a lot about ball movement, quick touches, and spacing. He received a good amount of gameplay opportunities at different positions which helped him to quickly find a role within his team. The coaches bring great perspectives from domestic and international styles of play, and the parents have been welcoming across all age groups. Best of all, the coaches are very responsive to parental questions and communication, which helps in understanding where your child is at in the development curve and how they can continue to improve. This made it easier for me to manage expectations of my son and his progress. Before we joined the club we had explored several others in the area, and I'm happy to say that Wizard Oak Brook FC has been more than I expected!”
