River City Futbol Club

PARENTS BEWARE.
This club is riddled with nothing but broken promises and deceit. The owner is the most irresponsible and dishonest person you’ll ever meet. We spent two years with this club and it was nothing but frustration. The owner repeatedly asks for money from the parents, despite them having already paid a full years’ dues, only to pocket almost every penny. Hence the reason he was constantly needing more money from the parents. How he is still in business is a mystery.
This club is a farce.

River City Futbol Club is the newest amateur, travel soccer team in the San Antonio area. The club is new but already off to an amazing start, run by the young, energetic director and coach, Demingo Lopes. The club has plans to expand to at least four teams and is holding tryouts for players born between ’97 and ’01 throughout May ’12. Check out their site –
– for all the details.
My son is now in his second season with Demingo (first season with River City FC). He and we, his parents, have nothing but positive to say about the experience. We were a struggling team suffering from inconstant coaching for years. In one season, Demingo took us from mid-​table to winning our division. Now we are playing up and enjoying the challenge of it.
As far as fees, compare them to any other pay club in the San Antonio — and Austin, for that matter — club and you’ll be surprised that RCFC is the least expensive of the lot, which came as a complete surprise. A real value. The kids learn quickly and grow as people along the way. We’ve had mixed experience with other clubs along the way — literally being taught to cheat to win or being yelled at in an utterly non-​helpful manner — but again, it’s all been positive since our switch to RCFC.
