I cannot express in enough words how excited and how proud I was that you asked me to come and train your very talented players. The Barbarians are a very talented Futsal club but most importantly great role models for some great young players. All of you should be very proud of the job that you are doing and it was an honor for me to attend. I will pass on my experience to the USFF…
The following are unsolicited testimonials from parents, and players. These sound bites are not intended to discourage anyone from seeking entrance to The Barbarian FC., or intended to be self-patronizing. They are offered as an insight to what we strive for at all times within our organization. It is what separates us from others whose only interest is winning and not the development of the person.

Thanks again for the efforts. The Barbarians have been a tremendous experience. Not just teaching futsal, but teaching respect for the game/players/coaches and supporting staff;
– You shake hands while others cross their arms and pout.
– You welcome players back and accept a mistake while others hold grudges.
– You face losing with respect for the opposition while others make excuses.

What I did not realize was that my daughter would not only learn also about a system of soccer with moving parts that emphasized teamwork, discipline and that movement all while bringing out individual skills. Her learning did not stop there! More importantly, she grew as a person because of you and your staff. She learned respect, leadership, and many life lessons which will make her a better person outside of soccer. Her confidence grew as the season went on as you challenged her to be better.

Coach, After watching the U15 State Cup Final, it reaffirmed my belief that the girls are playing with your core values. When the game got “chippy,” you conducted yourself in a very professional manner, as did your team. They played with sportsmanship and a controlled intensity. When the Azzurri girls were losing their heads, your Barbarian girls kept theirs, and that ultimately led to their victory.The same controlled intensity was on display in Akron, which led to a Regional Championship. This email is “long overdue” to extol your values as not only a coach, but as a man. Thank you for all you have done for…..

Thanks again for everything that you and your staff have done over the last few months to make…feel at home. This past weekend was an exciting experience for her in Wildwood. It was also quite an experience for me to see the sport up close. Some of the games we played were incredible. I appreciate your time and attention to our team.
Parent
Thank you again for allowing…to be part of such a class organization. Your tutelage, leadership and coaching staff have transformed the…girls into a very good team who works very well together.They play hard from whistle to whistle. I am very pleased with how the girls dealt with the disappointment of not advancing…I am a firm believer in what should have happened, DID. ..loves being a Barbarian, and recites the creed at random times throughout the day. Thank you for all that you do.

I have to tell you again what a blessing it has been for our family to be involved with the barbarians this year! …..having the time of her life and I have never seen her so passionate about attending training and competing in games. Thank you and your staff again for all that you do to make a difference in our daughters life!
Parent
I truly believe that the confidence that she exhibits in both futsal as well as outdoor soccer is due to her Barbarian training and your confidence in her. We are grateful for the opportunities you have afforded her. She has come a long way!
Parent
She has been starting & getting a lot of playing time on the varsity team. The Barbarians are one of the main reasons for her success. Thank you!!
Parent
We just wanted to take a moment to tell you that we, as parents, really enjoyed being a part of the club. The boys carried themselves with dignity and played with integrity. It was spectacular to watch these boys play together and even more special to watch relationships develop.
Parent
I want to thank you for what you have meant to…over the past several years. I spoke to him he made it very clear that he misses Barbarians more than anything else. You have been an outstanding role model for him and we cannot express how much that has meant to us. We truly appreciate all you have done for him over the years…He is blessed to have met and been mentored by such a fine gentleman.
Parent
Also, along with you and your staff I feel privileged that my daughter is a part of this program. Furthermore, she will still be associated with Coach Lucky who she really admires. Thanks as always for all you do for our youth!
Parent
I’ve been putting this off because like the rest, we are all going to miss the Barbarian experience. These boys and their great coaches have given Lisa and I such exciting entertainment, joy and pride in watching them play. From little boys to young adults the boys are an exceptional group of talented, hard working young men … they have thrived.
