Youth Soccer Leagues in Simi Valley Just Changed: A New Profit-Sharing Model for Coaches at Next Soccer Park

At Next Soccer Park in Simi Valley, we’ve always believed that great youth soccer leagues start with great coaches. You are the leaders, mentors, organizers, and motivators who make every training session and game meaningful for players on our turf soccer fields. But let’s be real—soccer coaching is more than just showing up. It’s the time spent planning sessions, running soccer training, communicating with families, and developing players week after week. It’s the extra effort that often goes unnoticed. And in many youth soccer programs, that effort hasn’t always been properly valued. We’re here to change that. Why We’re Changing Youth Soccer in Simi Valley From coaches to coaches—we understand. We understand the time commitment.We understand the responsibility.We understand that while no one is getting rich from coaching, you still deserve to be compensated. That’s why Next Soccer Park is introducing a new profit-sharing model for youth soccer leagues in Simi Valley—designed to support and reward coaches for the work they put in. A Better Model for Soccer Coaches Our new system is simple and built around fairness: This means as Next Soccer Park grows, our coaches grow too. We believe this creates a stronger environment for everyone involved in […]

Winter Soccer Camp Wrap-Up!

Coming off the heels of the first-ever camp at Next Soccer Park, we were thrilled to offer the community three Soccer Camp sessions to close out 2025 with a bang! Designed as a drop-in option, this camp drew about 15 kids each day on December 21, 22, 23, 29, and 30, and on January 5 and 6. Committed boys and girls used their time home from school to finesse their soccer moves on the turf. From 10 am to 2 p.m., they enjoyed warm-ups, breaks, and mini-games. Coached by Christian and Jake, the Winter Camp focused on passing, tactical situations, and various technical skills on speed and agility. Parents commented on the convenience of dropping campers off on the days that worked for them, without having to pre-register. We thank everyone who participated in this fun and energetic end-of-year opportunity. We look forward to offering more camps to help soccer players level up. Stay tuned to our IG page!

Thanksgiving Camp Wrap-Up!

The first annual Thanksgiving Camp at Next Soccer Park was a success! We were thrilled to have 12 players who showed up and showed off on November 24, 25, and 26 (when they could have been sleeping in)! Their soccer experience ranged from beginner to club level, yet they had a shared dedication to the game. Strangers became friends. Siblings became teammates.  Amid sunshine and crisp fall air, the energy was incredible. Coached by Christian, Jake, and Juan, the athletes did warm-ups, drills, and scrimmages with curiosity and commitment on the turf. Boys and girls built dribbling, passing, shooting, and defending skills. They were locked in!  Special instructors included competitive athletes who led a brief strength-and-conditioning session. Were our campers sore the next day? And the days after that? You bet! Their hard work and communal fun were evident in many ways. As we mentioned in our previous blog, time off from school doesn’t have to mean time cooped up at home.  Our Thanksgiving Camp was the perfect segue to holiday time with family. Thank you to the parents and campers who made history with us! Stay tuned for details on our next camp! Follow us at https://www.instagram.com/nextsoccerpark/

Should My Kid Play Soccer During Time Off?

When schools go back to session, children and parents get into a full swing with a packed schedule. Between classes, sports, and homework, there is little downtime. Kids wait longingly for a national holiday or any day off to get a break from their routine. We at Next Sports Enterprises embrace a little time off, too — with the key word being “little.” Sleeping in, binging on Netflix, or even playing a video game here or there can be a welcome reset mentally, but prolonged time away from sports has its downsides. When one day off turns into two or three, a sedentary child gets uneasy. The energy they were used to burning off on campus or on the field is now pent up. They might start acting up at home, becoming irritable, impatient, or restless. As coaches and parents, we know this all too well. Productive time off from school doesn’t mean kids have to be cooped up in the home. That’s why we offer private lessons, leagues, classes, and open play times throughout the year. And in a few short weeks, our Thanksgiving Camp will begin!  According to Scripps Health, “Even a single session of physical activity can […]

Next Soccer Park: Four Months from Vision to Fruition

Hundreds gathered on Friday, August 19, 2025, for the grand opening of Next Soccer Park, marking a historic night for soccer in Simi Valley. The energetic event was the result of sweat, strategy, and sacrifice during the summer heat! We are often asked, “How did this arena come to be?” “What led you guys to build on a parking lot?” As we embark on our one-month anniversary, we reflect on our Grand Opening–and all  the grand things that preceded it.
