He was very timid and had trust issues with past teachers which would cause him to progress/regress depending on the teacher's approach. He has thrived since coming to the lessons at Hood.

We originally started lessons after a recommendation from a friend who's two children also thrived with Coach Cameron.

I have been playing Recesstime Kickball since 2006, and Recesstime Dodgeball since 2009. It has…read morebeen one of the best things I have ever done with my time. Not only is it fun, it's semi-competitive depending on what team/league you choose. Kickball is a fun social sport where teammates run around and play, drink beer on the sideline, sometimes grill, and hang out talk some good natured trash with other teams. I have spent many long warm summer night playing kickball and hanging out with friends. This is not your childhood kickball, however. There are varying levels of play, from fun novice to incredibly high-level competitive play. Dodgeball is a bit more intense, but is a great time. It is a bit intimidating watching the game being played for the first time, but once you're in it and learn the strategy of the game, it is a ton of fun. After dodgeball, teams go to the sponsor bar and talk about their games, hang out and chat, and again, more good natured trash talking. Most importantly, I have met some of the best friends ever through the league, and I cannot imagine life without it. It has given me so many great people, and has allowed me to stay active and get exercise without getting bored. Even after playing for years I still get excited to hang out with my friends and play fun kid sports, which is why I give the league "5" stars- I would give it 10 stars if I could.

And no, I didn't crash a Sunday school…read morepick-up game, I participated in a organized league comprised of cool, active, and for the most part normal adults. Recess Time organizes dodgeball and bowling leagues in addition to kickball, and eventually there will be ping-pong. They make all the schedules, setup the fields, and coordinate the volunteer officials. All you have to do is bring your "A" game. The best part is they've acquired beer and wine permits for the parks! And in case you're wondering, wine and kickball are a fine pairing (I asked my boy Trav @ Garrison's). The second-best part is that even if your friends are too lazy, or uncoordinated, or don't exist, you can still be part of a team through "free agency." So if you're looking for a way to meet people and/or an excuse to get off the couch, definitely check out Recess Time. BTW, my team, Kick & Scream, kicked some butt today. Undefeated...1-0 baby!!!

This pool gets super crowded in the summer, but so do all of the Portland outdoor pools. As a…read moreswimmer, I prefer doing my hour of laps outside when the weather is nice, so I do my best to tolerate the "cons." The pool is primarily for swimming lessons, and since I consider swimming a life skill, I definitely get the priority. Family swim and open swim is during the afternoons, only til 3:00 during the week, and then 7-8:30 evenings. Lap swimming is early morning, from 6:00-8:00 am, all five lanes. At noon, there are only 3 lanes available from 12:00-1:10. During the evening swim, there are 2 lanes from 5:10-7:25. Weekend swims, all 5 lanes are available from 12:00-1:00 and 4:30-6:00. There are a lot of dedicated swimmers, same people every year. If there are more than 2 people in a lane, you have too circle swim. Often there are 5-6 people circle swimming. Even if every one in the lane is comparable as swimmers, it is challenging! The lanes are marked slow, medium and fast, but speed is relative to who is swimming that day. People come and go so often the lane has people of varying speeds. Lifeguards are there to watch for drownings, they rarely pay attention or discipline the swimmers who get what I call "swim rage" and intimidate the others in their lane. Portland Parks ends the season a week before the end of August. Every year it seems like they close sooner in our already short season. Just 2 years ago, they stayed open until September 15th, which all of us swimmers loved because we had all 5 lanes for lap swimming everyday. The showers and bathrooms are what you would expect. I'd never walk in there barefoot. Ever. There are recliners and seats available. On crowded days, it's hard to get a chair but usually it's not a problem. All that being said, I look forward to the 2.5 months a year the pool is open and I go every day for my swim.

This is an ok public pool, as public pools go. It's pretty small for how crowded it gets: there…read morewere only three lanes open for lap swimming because classes were using the rest of the pool while I was there. It's also a bit short for a lap pool. I did think that the toddler class they were doing while I was there looked really cool...I would take mine if we lived in Portland. The locker rooms were also fairly big and clean. However, based on how crowded it was, I wouldn't recommend it, especially if you want to swim laps.

Beware!!! Trailsend 18-2 season, 2nd yr with coach Malia K…read more Background info: Our daughter played starting libero on 16-2 at nearby club team with a much better coach, Jaime S., who knew how to coax more out of her girls, more gently, never berating, yelling at them or calling individuals out during team discussions when they messed up. Malia K. in stark contrast, calls out girls all the time, even for things entirely out of their control, such as staying home while sick. She even makes assumptions based I can only presume, on the gossip of her favorite, who is by no means one of the better players although she occasionally tries hard to be, yet still seems to play more than most, and also gets much better treatment on and off the court from Malia. Now, if your daughter were one of her few favorites like this girl, Malia is always nicer, often jokes with, never becomes overbearing or mean. If you are one of those parents who doesn't stand up to bullies, and maybe you knew her when she was a star athlete, not the unhappy and dumpy loser she has become, maybe you and your daughter will do fine, even enjoy your time here, especially if you have encouraged her to bully others too. She hits harder at players she cares less for, softer at faves. Spends more time with the same few leaving girls standing around. Her attention/wasted time shows in competitions. She runs the same drill for hrs almost mindlessly. Her absence left our kid out of a service position, a costly error since of the few times she subbed in to serve, she rarely missed, even serving the most team points of any match she attended 10. That's a lot of potential your kid may entirely miss out on, if M becomes your coach. On rarer instances when she's focused or present, she works the girls so hard they have to stop/slow down to avoid vomiting! She's so mean we've seen girls crying at about 1/3 of practices we attended. When the team struggles, as regularly as Malia, she singles out one or two to yell and berate. In front of teams they just lost to! Surely there are other more effective ways to encourage kids. Especially for those who love their voice so much. Since Malia only does this to a few while ignoring others, it only increases bullying and distaste. And both yrs were the same failure to close. At last yrs best performance our daughter played more than any other day. M wasn't even there. Teams we played better last yr continue to improve while "teamM" struggle to flounder. After a non-regular guest, my disabled Mom-in-law, who's seen enough, called HER out in front of others, she shoved past her almost knocking her to the court to yell at our daughter for it! And although she saw, the gym was too loud to hear grandma or M yet later other 'witnesses' farther away than her agreed with M's lies about grandma's language! She rarely uses any, never in public. Finding no satisfaction with berating our kid she came at me to call me out for the violation. As if I did it. When I politely asked her to speak up she got mad and laughed at me. My mom in law was so shook up when she made it back, and having been hit in the face by balls before I stayed with her while my wife asked to step outside to talk. When I finally got out with mom I approached to keep peace or defend my wife from her, M wouldn't stop yelling, and began at me. I asked her to stop disrespecting my wife and let her talk-She told me to f"off! At that point, I began to match vol. and tried to cut her off so she could see how it felt. She began to taunt asking me to hit her! I again asked her less nicely than before I only want her to be respectful. As that's such an insurmountable challenge our 'talk' rapidly descended to curses as she retreated away and back into the building. That's the last time I hope for any of us to see this toxin. We were asked by her sis to return gear with half the season+ left because of a guest attempt to defend her grandkid, who never saw the rulebook, and because M's a compulsive liar. Considering Leilani is the director, no wonder whose side she'd take. We heard from many ppl she can be even worse than M and the 'apples don't fall far from the tree'..Lucky my mom in law didn't have a heart attack after her assault and yelling at her and grandkid. She had a severe panic attack, the worst I've seen. God was watching. A better coach would of let it roll off instead of escalating it like she did, remaining focused on the great team play, the best up to that point, but again our daughter also played the most she ever has for this lesser coach. A fave absence. I will conclude this warning by adding that a CEVA director has had similar complaints and said he'd keep his kids away, too. What a micro aggressor. If considering trying-out or heard any good about Trailsend VBC reconsider or remember, you've been warned!
