We are very new to the club. My son will be starting in the fall of 2021. From the moment we signed up for tryouts until the teams were formed, Ive had nothing but wonderful interactions with the owner & the coach. They were both positive and responsive in their communication & in setting expectations. They know who they are and what they are about. I like that they focus on the whole child. My son is super excited to play with FC Batavia!

We love FC Batavia! My son just dove into the deepens of club soccer this past year and at first it was a pretty intimidating venture. When researching different clubs, all the mega machines kept coming up but after a couple of tryouts with those clubs we were feeling a little unsure that we really wanted to allow our then 10 year old to give up bring a kid, and have to fork out thousands in club fees, uniform costs, and to top off crazy travel costs. We were lucky to find FC Batavia. From day one it was evident that all the coaches were concerned with not only attracting talented players who already

My child has been attending lessons with Coach Rick for 2 months, and it is amazing to see how much improvement there is! He is encouraging but tough, the perfect combination for a coach! I especially love watching the footwork drills that he has the kids do with the ladder. We are very happy that he allowed us to join in on lessons, and will continue going as long as he offers them!

Rick is an amazing coach. After just a few sessions with my daughter she was making vast improvements. His style of coaching is super supportive while expecting a high level of effort and passion. I would highly recommend FC Batavia and Coach Rick Tilmans to any and everyone.
