I am writing this review to alert other parents about what happened to us with The Allen Eagles Sports Camps. We encourage other parents to think twice, and to consider (instead) other children's sports camps and organizations before enrolling their child in this camp. We enrolled one of our children (who had a keen interest in sports) into this camp, and for our part, this is the first and last time we use this organization. Our children have been to other sports camps, outside of the area, that have serviced children of all sports ability levels. These other camps have done so in an instructive and professional manner. Our experience has been that The Allen Eagles Sports Camps is not one of those instructive and professional camps geared towards children of all sports ability levels. When we first found out about The Allen Eagles Sports Camps, we reviewed the material we had gotten in print and then we reviewed their website. Since the information they provided in print and on their website was not sufficient, we contacted them to fill in the missing gaps. We asked if the camp was also for beginners, and if our child needed to bring any kind of equipment for the camp. We were told that the camp was for all level of students which included beginner students, and that equipment was not necessary. We found out the hard way that none of this is true. As a result, The Allen Eagles Sports Camps turned out to be quite a bad experience for our child. When we walked in on the first day of camp, we found out that our child did need to bring equipment. Then, we looked around, and saw other children practicing at a level clearly indicating that they were more experienced. So, we asked again if the camp had a section for beginners, and noted that the children present appeared much older than our child. The coaches present avoided eye-contact with us, and looked uncomfortable as they said that yes the camp was also for beginners and all age groups. A more senior looking coach looked aggravated that our child did not have the equipment necessary. We mentioned the information we had been given by their information line, but this senior coach's demeanor remained unchanged. Once the day at this "camp" got started, the students were broken up into groups. Our child was put in with more experienced and older students, and though our child reiterated the age and beginner status, our child was told that this was how it was going to be. The final outcome was that they gladly took our money so that they could use our child for the benefit of the more experienced and older students. The older and more experienced students seeing that our child was not as experienced, berated our child for not being as good as they were. The "coaches", who were standing in the middle of the incidences, did nothing to stop the bullying, and instead quietly looked on giving the impression that they gave their consent to the bullying by their silence. Since they were standing right there, it's not hard to believe that they were fully aware of the bullying. Our athletic child has refused to give this sport a try again, and it was quite a while before our child agreed to try other sports. We lost money, but we are hoping to alert other parents and save them and their child/children the bad experience. read more
