My child was physically attacked on the basketball court by an opposing player during a recent…read moresummer league game. The officials not only were negligent in their duties leading up to the attack but after as well. They didnt take any action to hold the attacker accountable for their actions by issuing a technical foul and/or ejection. In fact the officials taunted our teams mothers and mocked us as "white folk that be complaining" if this player repeated his behavior in a school or restaurant theyd have been in handcuffs. The counter staff did a great job of documenting the issue and addressing our anger in a professional and compassionate manner. He witnessed the officials mocking several moms and making aggressive hand gestures as the refs left the venue. We were told to not involve the police at the event because the management was fair and would address our issues as best they could. I was given an email address jaden@osahoops.com. I waited 36ish hours to reach out on June 23 at 7:40am We provided OSA with a video of the attack and the ref not behaving as they were trained. I asked for a response. We received none. On June 25 at 4:35pm I followed up. Again no response. Understanding that there might be a bit of time needed to speak and go up the chain of command Its now August 11th and weve yet to get any sort of response. Which is unfortunate. With the price to play on a team and in their tournaments youd figure that they'd at least pretend to care about their cattle or at very least do their best so the player would experience some sort of accountability for their violent actions. So it doesnt happen again. But absolutely nothing! Maybe the next time this player becomes violent on the court there will be a serious injury that they can deal with that fallout in a more professional and productive manner. Whats fun is that they took more time in removing my facebook review than they did dealing with my childs violent attack. Im sure ill get roped back into a facility to support my kids but my expectations for the officials, staff, and management will be considerably lower than they were.

Once again, I would say that OSA personnel/and their parents are poor role models for kids. I've…read morebeen an educator for many years and I am constantly surprised by the things I see coaches/parents do in supposedly teaching kids to be positive community members within this organization. I was at UBT watching a 3 on 3 basketball tournament. Two of the 3 games I watched involved OSA teams. When you try talking to the adults involved with the kids behaviors, you are bullied and brushed off. If you want your kid to become a bully who cheats their way to win, this is the organization for you. I'll be reading about those kids in the paper someday but not in the sports section. And it isn't the kids fault. Wake up OSA leaders, coaches, and parents.

I was a member of Life Time Omaha on and off for over 16 years. It used to feel like a safe,…read morewelcoming environment where I could confidently bring my children and focus on my health. Unfortunately, my experience changed due to a situation involving a spin instructor that deeply impacted my personal life. This situation made the gym feel uncomfortable and no longer like the safe space it once was for me and my family. What has been most disappointing is how everything was handled. I did not feel that my concerns were taken seriously, and ultimately I was the one who had to leave and cancel my membership after many years. I understand that personal situations can be complex, but when they affect members' comfort and trust, I believe they should be handled with greater care and accountability. Because of this experience, I would encourage others to carefully consider what kind of environment they're looking for when choosing a gym.

If you want a gym that has it all- become a member at Life Time. They offer a wide variety of…read moreclasses from yoga to heavy weight and cardio led by encouraging and knowledgeable instructors. If you are more of a person who likes to plan their own workout, they have a massive variety of machines and free weights that ensures you are able to get a great workout in without having to wait a long time for a machine! They also have an amazing indoor and outdoor pool. The outdoor pool is a DREAM in the summer- I could literally spend all day here. They have an outdoor and an indoor cafe that has high quality ingredients and food, truly making it so you could spend your whole day here. On top of the workout classes, expansive gym, pools that make you feel like you are no longer in Omaha- but somewhere more tropical they also have a great workspace if you are looking to make a meeting right after a workout. They have a clean, well maintained locker room that allows you to shower and get ready for your day here as well. Life Time is truly like my second home. Perfect day: yoga, steam room and sauna, cafe for a protein packed smoothie, get comfortable in their work space and get power through some projects, pool with a book and a slushie, shower off and go home. Could not be a more perfect day.

This is the wordy organization I have seen or been a part of. If you coach your kid, you will be…read morefine. If you don't, they will screw you and take your money. Rec leagues will be scheduled to play against select teams because they can't seem to be good enough to schedule rec teams... you will play out of town to go play select teams. Tryouts for select are ridiculous. Zero feedback! The coaches won't even contact you to tell you that your kid didn't make it... Worthless organization.

We go to James P Mcneil soccer field often during the outdoor soccer season for soccer practice…read more They have recently renovated parts of the field, so instead of parking towards the front of the field, often times, we need to park in the back. The field is spacious with lots of parking. They do not have restrooms, but they do have port-a-potties there. It is nice for those who would like to run or walk while their child is having soccer practice because you can walk around the whole field if you wanted to. The only problem that this field has is during the summer, part of it is an RV park, so there can sometimes be a lot of congestion around the RV's. Nevertheless, this soccer field has everything your soccer player would need to play soccer!

It's 4 months later and I am so glad I did. Hapkido is quite different from Tae Kwon Do, and the instruction I receive from Grandmaster Helaney and Mr. Humphrey is adding so much new knowledge and skill to the foundations I came in with. I truly enjoy every single session and the close-knit group that I am now a part of. For anyone interested in trying an eclectic, well rounded martial art I highly recommend Hapkido at Blue Waves.

The owners/instructors are great at what they do and are very knowledgeable. My grandson has been going here for about 7 years now and hasearned his black belt.

And the fact that everyone is like one big family, will always have me coming back. You'll get your butt worked off here...but you will also have fun while doing it.
