Genesis is a program that genuinely cares about their athletes. We started with camps. My children did not know much about the sport, but through the camps, they were able to develop an interest in it. Our kids have since attended many different camps, and we find that the Genesis camps offer great value for what is provided. At the end of the day, the kids are excited about their experience and exhausted from the excellent workout. It's also great that there are always a minimum of 3 coaches at the camps. Genesis is an excellent program because it treats its athletes like family. Over the two years that our kids have played for their travel program, we have experienced many things in our personal lives. Tai and Rudy, the program coordinators, have always been very understanding and shown genuine concern for our children and our family as a whole. The coaches are also no different. Furthermore, the Genesis program provides high-level coaches to help develop their players, and these are the same coaches that are at their camps. A year ago, my daughter could not dribble a basketball, but now she can compete at a high level, all thanks to the commitment and dedication of each player's development regardless of where they are in comparison to others. I would highly recommend this program. read more

If there was an option for negative stars, that is what I would have selected. This league was beyond disappointing. We wanted to up our children's playing and thought this was the league... I assure you it is not. More money than Next Level Hoops and so much worse. They only have one referee per game (they walk most of the game) and after paying a larger fee for this league, they then catfish you into paying practice court fees for the local high school that is outside with the worst lighting you've ever seen....well actually, you just can't see bc the lighting is that poor ‍ We also didn't have a coach so we got one assigned to us and they only practice once a week while the other teams practice twice. The administration that runs the league only cares about taking your money and will not help with any concerns. The recreation league plays with the travel teams which is great for morale... rec teams getting beat by the travels teams. Children keep score and there is zero accountability. Save your money and time and don't go here. We stayed only because we made a commitment, but what a painful experience for the kids. read more

My son did the try outs and made the travel ball team. Paid the $225 per month and finally had enough when we watched my son continue to be benched at each game after traveling over two hours to get to them. They continued to have try outs throughout the season and always had new kids join the team that would immediately take the place of the kids who had been there from the start. Horrible coaching and even worse communication. They truly don't care about the kids. read more

My son did their summer basketball program and I can see they have a great and organized business the coaches are nice and if my son likes them that says a lot read more

Genesis Hoops is a great youth basketball program which teaches kids basketball fundamentals, building positive character, accountability, work ethic, and important life skill on an off the court. All of the coaching staff have a plethora and years of experience in coaching basketball. They are professional, organized, caring, and ethical. I have two kids, my daughter and son, in their program and have had nothing but positive experiences with the coaching staff and Genesis Hoops program. read more

Love Tai Brown... and Rodney, great place to bring your kids to learn fundamentals and personal training.

I love the camps and personal training. I felt the training and personal attention is worth the money. My daughters are very happy and had a great time! They learned a lot of technique regarding shooting, footwork, dribbling and driving. read more

Genesis Hoops - Fitness & Instruction Near Me - Temecula, California

Our son is enrolled in the basketball league. Prior to this one he played in the mybl. This is an advanced version with a smaller court and more experienced staff. On top of the league games and practices they also offer training clinics to help with specifics on improving skills. This is a great stepping stone for any kid that loves the game. read more

Genesis Hoops - Front door to the court house of Genesis hoops. - Fitness & Instruction Near Me - Temecula, California

I came here to leave a review, then noticed two reviews(from the same couple). Now I feel compelled to reply to their posts to clear things up. I am a parent and my son was on the same team as the son of YR and James R. Their review says to read the fine print of what Genesis is asking you to sign, as if there is something to hide. Nothing hidden there. Pretty straightforward, including the part that says there is zero tolerance regarding violence. YR, the mother, got into a heated argument with a parent from another travel ball club. This led to a physical altercation which she participated in. There is security there, contrary to YR and James R.'s claims. Furthermore, it wasn't a Genesis sponsored tournament, it was another club. So Genesis Hoops isn't responsible for any organizing, ref selection, or protection of any attendees. The police were called at the tournament and YR was asked to leave by the tournament sponsors and the police. None of this had anything to do with Genesis. Once The Genesis management team heard of the incident, they conducted a thorough investigation. They asked as many witnesses as they could in order to absolve YR and her husband, James. However, the facts were that they had contributed to a violent physical altercation. Genesis does care about the children and well being of the families of the players. This is the reason for the rules laid out in the contract. Would you expect them to take a chance that something like this would happen again and next time maybe put a child in harms way? They had to do what's right and enforce the rules and ask the family to leave the organization. If they only cared about money, wouldn't it make sense for them to allow the family to stay and keep collecting fees?? I understand that it is sad for the boy, but the parents need to take responsibility for being the cause of this. The assertions that YR and James R. made in their reviews are spiteful and vengeful, not at all based in truth. My personal experience is that Genesis is an amazing travel ball club. One of the best decisions I have ever made for my sons. My sons have grown and developed so much under the guidance of top notch, professional coaching. I am convinced that the proprietors Rudy and Tai look at the members as an extended family and I certainly feel it. I cant tell you how many times Tai has called to check on the kids if they miss a practice. The point being, they are great people and they make it a mission for our children to Be Great! read more

Overpriced, lack of staff attending tournaments to solve issues and complaints. Don't be good.. at complaining Be great...at keeping your head down and don't say anything. Their turn around to give you the players gear is very slow compare to how fast they charge the monthly dues. read more

I wanted a place for a junior high boy to improve basketball skills. This place delivered. After one day of ball handling and three days of learning position specific strategies, his level of play has definitely increased. The value for the summer camp days is definitely there. Enrollment was easy. Customer service was helpful. Coaches were engaged with each child and dealt appropriately with the various of ages of children. The gym and the team there are impressive. read more

Coach T was great with our second grader. The biggest benefit was the weekly practice which was very well organized and drills helped to improve their skills. We didn't know the extent of our child's growth until he went back to rec league, where we can definitively say he improved relative to his age group. Our son can't wait for their winter camp and wants to continue with Genesis hoops next year. Owners Rudy and Tai are class acts, give a great effort, and really care about the kids. read more

I've never taken the time to write a review on any business but after reading the latest unflattering reviews on Genesis Hoops, I felt an obligation to clear up some misleading statements. I am a parent, with a child on the very basketball team that this family was asked to step down from. I was actually sitting directly in front of this family during said "altercation," that transpired while I was attempting to watch my son play in his basketball game. Now...if, as a family and basketball player, you are new to the world of travel basketball and tournaments, I understand the climate can take a readjustment period. It's not your school team or your rec league atmosphere. It's intense; in all the best ways. It's competition. It's hard work. It's dedication. It's commitment. It's emotional intelligence. It's winning big. It's losing graciously. It's training; both physically and mentally. It's teamwork. It's work ethic. It's restraint. It's everything that's good; when your child has a true love for the game of basketball. It's these values that the Genesis Hoops organization is working to instill into their players. It should go without being said that these values need to be extended to the players parents as well. Lead by example. No one EVER left a basketball game saying, "oh man that was the greatest ref ever! He/she made all the best calls! They are refs. They make unfavorable calls on both sides. Get over it. It happens. Just watch a NBA game on t.v. They aren't there to make friends with any teams, only to ref the game the way they see fit. They also aren't directly affiliated with any one team or tournament, you see the same refs at a small tournament in Corona as you do a huge tournament in Garden Grove. So the absurdity of correlating your child's safety and well-being to some idealistic picture of a perfect ref is beyond me. And if you've ever been involved in travel basketball, with any organization; you would be well versed on contract commitments. It's not about absolving the organization of any and all responsibilities but protecting the players, families and the organization. You sign the EXACT same type of contract when you release your child to attend an off campus school field trip. If you intend to be involved, there is always a code of conduct. It's disheartening that one would write a negative review that may persuade another family to not get involved with such a great organization just to save face. When in fact, as an adult and parent, it shouldn't be necessary for the existence of a code of conduct contract for you to behave in the same manner in which you should be raising your child to behave. It's embarrassing. To be perfectly frank with whoever takes the time to read this review.... If the Genesis Hoops organization hadn't decided that the egregious, disruptive behavior of this family during a basketball game, with all players, families and other travel basketball organizations present watching, was irresponsible and violated their zero tolerance policy, then I would have been ashamed to call me and my family part of Genesis Hoops. I was actually very impressed with how this situation was handled and how Genesis Hoops proved to place value in their mission statement, in their respect for the game of basketball, in their protection of the children that us parents place in their hands and in integrity and respectful conduct over the money they would lose over having to lose a player. This is definitely not a "money over everything" organization. They truly care about the kids and families involved and as for me and mine, we are proud to be part of the Genesis Hoops Nation #begreat read more

I am giving it 1 star because it's semi organized. We are doing 5th grade team basketball. In terms of training, it depends on who is coaching and for the price, coaching should be consistent. Your paying over $200 for a CHANCE for your child to get coached. We did Parks and Recreation before and thought this would be a step up but it's really not, it's actually a step down. Your paying more to sign up, they practice once a week for 1 1/2 hours (how much can a child learn with 1 1/2 hour of training) with one game on weekends and to top it all off your paying a entry fee (4 per person) for each game...yup crazy huh. Overall it's definitely over rated and your better off staying a bit longer with Parks and Rec or joining a travel team, which we will be doing next. This is definitely a waste of time and money. read more

Brought an outside team in for their league. Well run, on time and very flexible with scheduling. All of their teams are well coached and exhibit good sportsmanship. I have been coaching basketball at the high school and youth level for over 20 years and I highly recommend Genesis. read more

So happy with the program here. Our family has been to other sports facilities and this is the top of our list. The training and expertise for the fundamentals of basketball make the foundation for future players. You won't get volunteer parent coaches here with special interests in their own kids. There are no super costly long-term contracts. Only reasonable season to season sessions, seasonal camps, and short-term training packages. The coaches are experienced, professional, and know how to play. It's not just about making the basket, they start with the needed skills to play on a team, and work together. My shy, couldn't dribble, didn't know the rules 4th-grade son; ended the season with points scored, driving, rebounds, assists, and steals. They keep stats, official referees, training is available and they truly do work towards their motto "Be Great". This place is Elite and they are building their company that way. **Remember it takes more than the coach to be great, we as parents have to take what they are taught on the court and bring it home and motivate their home practice - reinforcing what they are learning in their practices with their team/coach. Yes nominal entry fee for games, this does not bother us as it keeps the crowd limited to the folks that are there for the right reasons, and covers incidentals for game support (stats, refs, etc..) read more

Absolutely LOVE the program at Genesis Hoops! My son just started playing organized basketball this year and the strides and understanding he has gained in such a short time has been remarkable. They have a great program with excellent coaching. Some are better than others, however, there is one thing that truly sets them apart from other programs in the area and in Rec leagues: the coaches NEVER yell, scream, grab, berate, belittle, or embarrass the children. They TEACH instead of thinking that they are an NCAA or NBA coach with college and professional players. They instruct children, and the children learn AND have fun without ridiculous pressure other coaches in other programs I've seen put on 7 and 8 year old children. They are not playing for scholarships, they are learning the game, and Genesis Hoops program allows them to do that. Big shout out to Coach Rudy, Tai, and the entire coaching staff at Genesis for what they do with not just my child, but all the kids. read more
