Sofive Winter Park (XL Soccer World)

My son Ricardo started at SoFive Jr. Academy when he was just 5 years old with Coach Juan—and it’s been an incredible journey ever since! Thanks to the amazing training and dedication of Coach Juan, Ricardo has grown into a fantastic player, and his love for soccer keeps growing every day. SoFive is an amazing place with top-quality indoor and outdoor fields. The facilities are always clean, safe, and perfect for young players to train and enjoy the game. It’s more than just a training ground—it’s our second home. The environment is fun, supportive, and truly feels like a family. We’ve made great friends and found a community that shares our passion for the game. But what stands out the most is that my son has learned much more than just soccer. Through Coach Juan’s guidance, he has become a better person—learning discipline, respect, teamwork, and other important values. Coach Juan’s knowledge and dedication are truly admirable, and we are beyond grateful for the positive impact he’s had on our son’s life. Huge thanks to Coach Juan and the entire SoFive Jr. Academy team. We’re so lucky to be part of this amazing program and all the memories we’re creating!

5-Star Review: Outstanding Youth Soccer Program! We couldn’t be happier with our experience in SoFive Jr. Academy soccer program! From the start, it was clear that this program was top-notch. Practices are well-organized and focus on skill-building, teamwork, and sportsmanship, which is exactly what we were looking for. The coaches are passionate, knowledgeable, and really care about the kids. They do a great job teaching the fundamentals in a way that keeps the kids engaged and excited. Our son has learned so much this season and loves being part of the team. Huge shoutout to Coach Juan and all of the coaches for doing such an awesome job!

It's rare to find a coach who impacts a child's life as profoundly as Juan Arguedas has for my daughter. He didn't just rebuild her confidence in soccer; he nurtured it and helped it flourish(and continues to do so). What sets Juan apart is his genuine care for each child's development, making him feel like an extension of our family. My daughter trusts and respects him implicitly, and he consistently strikes that perfect balance of fun and challenging training. He holds her accountable and pushes her to become not only a better player but a better individual. Having been involved in soccer for many years as a player, coach, and now a parent, I can confidently say Juan is one of the best coaches we've ever had the privilege of working with. His impact is truly immeasurable. Whether you are looking for a recreational or competitive approach to the game, Juan at SoFive will meet your child at their level and help them love the game.

Our daughter and son have participated in multiple programs at SOFIVE/XL and with FCA and have loved every minute. We have had an excellent experience with the coaches across each program but especially with coach Ciara B. She has grown our daughters love for the sport and has allowed her to thrive beyond what we could have imagined. The way she approaches the development of the individual and the cohesive approach to team camaraderie while instilling a high emphasis on competition and accountability has truly been impressive. Great job coach!

This is a great facility with excellent programs for all ages that meet all players needs and expectations. From learning the basics to playing in competitive games and everything in between. The staff and coaches are truly amazing, patient and professional. One in particular is Coach Juan who demonstrated great knowledge of the sport but also how to work with kids. He is truly an amazing coach that puts his whole heart into it!
