A drive of twelve to eighteen minutes from Bay Ridge brings your child to a full academy rather than a single weekly class: fifteen teams, licensed coaches and a path that runs from age two to fifteen.
The quality of a session does not depend on which coach your child happens to get. Boris Kraytman, who has coached since 1983, holds a role dedicated to nothing but that standard, and groups stay at 5 to 8 children per coach so nobody trains anonymously.
- Groups of 5 to 8 children per coach, so the coach knows your child by name and by level.
- The same training standard whichever coach and group your child lands in.
- A field that works all year — open air in summer, under a climate-controlled cover in winter.
- Evaluations and reports, so you can see what changed and why.
From Bay Ridge to the field
A run east along the shoreline, most of it on the same road.
9000 Bay Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11214
Our sessions run inside the MatchPoint complex in Bensonhurst — an enclosed, secured site with locker rooms, a cafe and a waiting area for parents.
The field is at Bay Parkway and Shore Parkway, beside the Caesar's Bay shopping center. Evening traffic is what decides whether the trip is closer to twelve minutes or eighteen.
There is free parking at the Caesar's Bay shopping center right next to the complex.
There is no direct subway ride from Bay Ridge, so it usually means a transfer or the B64 bus along 86th Street. Driving is the simpler option.
There is a parent waiting area on site, and sessions are streamed — so a parent who has to drop off and run can still watch the training.
