    It has been a year since my 9-year-old son played for the San Tan Youth Football League Blue…read moreDevils, and after a full year to reflect, I still feel exactly the same. I can only speak about our experience with the Blue Devils. This was D1, the league's youngest age group, with many boys playing tackle football for the first time. From the outside, everything looks impressive: social media, uniforms, bags, equipment, etc. Our experience did not match that image. Within the first couple of weeks, the coaches appeared to choose which boys they would prioritize. They split them into Blue and White groups, and most coaching, attention, and competitive game time went to the group selected early, even though many were not noticeably better than the boys left on the sideline. They were practicing, but they were not being developed together or treated like one team unless playing games at the end of practice. The rulebook provides a 20-minute instructional period before the competitive game. What it does not clearly explain is that this may be the only time your child plays. Once the actual game started, many boys spent the entire game on the sideline. These kids knew the difference. They were told to stand up, clap, cheer louder, stop looking sad, and support the players on the field. They were not members of a football team; they were treated like cheerleaders during the actual games. We were told my son received no competitive game time because he was not paying attention during practice. The coaches were already focused on the group they selected, and several of those boys were doing the same things while still receiving game time. We took the feedback seriously. He immediately made every change the coach asked for. Nothing changed. What does that teach a child? That listening, working hard, and improving still will not earn an opportunity because the decision was already made? After we complained, my son received maybe 15 minutes total of competitive game time over roughly half the season. The boys on the sideline were suddenly good enough to play whenever a selected player was sick or on vacation. The next week, they were right back on the sideline. One week they were trusted because the team needed them; the next week they were treated like they were not good enough. The separation also created an unhealthy divide. Boys mocked and belittled others while coaches stood nearby. Racial slurs were used during practice. The club manager addressed it in a meeting, yet the boys involved still played the next game. My husband and I have coached many seasons of flag football and volleyball. We understand wanting to win and keeping certain players in during important moments. But coaching is about the whole team. Once you agree to coach, your responsibility is to every child, not only your own or the players you prefer. We raised our concerns with the team manager. Rather than addressing them, she defended the coach. She is close friends with both the coach and his wife, so her response did not feel objective. We later spoke with the owners of San Tan Youth Football. They agreed there was a problem and said one of their own grandsons on the Blue Devils was experiencing the same lack of game time. Yet nothing changed. This experience destroyed my son's confidence. It took him a full year to try another sport. After one practice with his new team, I immediately saw the difference: every child was included, engaged, and coached. We paid hundreds of dollars to the Blue Devils, and my father's company made a business donation. In the end, none of the uniforms, bags, equipment, or ceremonies meant anything. All that gear now sits in my son's closet while the boys who paid, practiced, and showed up were used as cheerleaders for the players the coaches chose during the first few weeks.

    As a parent, it's incredibly frustrating and disappointing to feel that fairness and integrity are…read morelacking in a youth football league. Our experience with the San Tan Youth Football League leadership left us feeling disheartened, not because of wins or losses, but because of what our kids were exposed to. This is no way a reflection on the Bulldogs! There GMs and coaches have been amazing and supportive. Throughout the season and past years we've played, there were multiple instances of inconsistent officiating and decisions that appeared to favor certain teams. In a league meant for young athletes, this sends the wrong message. These kids train hard, show up with heart, and deserve a level playing field where effort and sportsmanship matter more than favoritism. Parents invest a great deal of time, money, and trust into these programs. We expect transparency, accountability, and fair treatment for all teams. When that trust is broken, it takes away from what youth sports should represent--growth, confidence, and learning valuable life lessons. I truly hope the league leadership reflects on these concerns and makes changes to ensure a FAIR, respectful, and positive experience for every player and family moving forward. I hope they hold the refs accountable for their actions and stand behind the children.

    I contacted Arizona Soccer Skills Academy because my son was begging me for private soccer lessons…read moreover the summer. I spoke with Coach Rizzo on several occasions about it, and he kept trying to push us to the summer camp group sessions, which I made clear I did not want. Eventually, Coach Rizzo agreed to private lessons, and I registered and paid the $414 for 6 weekly lessons. After the first lesson, Coach Rizzo suggested we join the group sessions, which I took to mean in addition to the private lessons. Yesterday, we showed up for lesson #2, and Coach Rizzo was not there. When I texted him, he said he transferred us to the group sessions in lieu of private lessons, and when I objected and requested a refund, he said they don't issue refunds. So, it was a bait and switch, and I'm out hundreds of dollars. Their website says they offer private soccer lessons, but only if your child is good enough, apparently, yet they will gladly take your money and provide nothing in return. It should be noted we did attend a trail group session before registering AND PAYING FOR private lessons and then a group session after the first private lessons. We were less than impressed. The teenage coaches kept the kids in a tiny practice space, no even large enough to run in, and did extremely basic drills. (My son is 13 and has been playing recreational soccer for years.) My son was bored and not at all challenged. I do not recommend this organization.

    This is just what we needed to kick start into soccer. My kids (8, 11) had no formal sports…read moreexperience. No worries here. Kids are grouped by skill level to practice drills & scrimmage with others. I really like the practice times/locations (Cooley middle school & Power Ranch) and the coaches (James runs the show but has many assistant coaches working with small groups). My kids understand the game now & have improved as athletes. We've referred a few friends. Great set up all around!

    Located off highway 88 in Apache Junction, Lost Dutchman State Park is a must see with beautiful of…read moreviews of the Superstition Mountains. It's clean and well kept with plenty of things to do. There is hiking and biking trails, camping, RV camp sites, pick-nick areas, restrooms, cabins to rent and plenty of parking. Too hot to hike for me today but will definitely be back when it cools down.

    I don't do a good job keeping track of all the hikes I complete (unlike other friends I know who…read moredocument everything), so for the beginning of 2026, I'm going to try to do a better job of documentation. I love the Lost Dutchman and have been here several times and it never gets old and each time I come, I am still so awestruck by the beauty of this mountain. Years ago, I completed Flatiron with my then partner and didnt know that it was rated a very difficult hike. I enjoyed it, got a really nice work out and liked the scramble up to the top! I just remember it was quite windy at the top but spectacular views. Dogs are allowed on Flatiron, but don't do that to your pup, its a pretty gnarly hike, let your puppy rest honestly as I saw so many doggies struggling. Tonight, I came just for a leisurely stroll right before sunset and also hoping to catch the first almost full moon of 2026. I love nature and being outdoors and my favorite way to spend time. Park entrance was packed tonight and the fee was $10. There is a small visitor center with souvenirs, guides, some snacks, bathrooms and last minute hiking needs. I think you can also camp here, check on their website. I parked in the Cholla day use lot and did part of the Treasure Loop and hiked for about 3 miles slowly, and spent about 2+ hours in the park. My goal tonight wasn't really to hike strenously but more to get a glimpse of the sunset and the beautiful 2026 Wolf Moon. All my goals were accomplished. Park is well maintained. I used the bathroom and it was very clean and a nice park bathroom. Plenty of covered picnic tables too. Park closed at 8pm tonight (winter). There are all different level trails here and the rangers here are super nice and helpful. Ask them any questions and they are happy to help. There are also many kinds of free maps available in the visitor center. I had a MTB map, a hiking trail map, a birding map, a native plant map! I am all mapped up! If you come and do a hike, wear sturdy hiking shoes, wear sunscreen, head covering, bug spray (there were quite a lot of mosquitoes when I hiked tonight which annoyed the heck out of me as I left my bug spray at home), lots of water, some snacks, and also headlamps (I hiked back down after sunset and the headlamp helped a lot). One of the best AZ state parks, the views are amazing (so many couples here getting their photos professionally taken), definitely check it out.
