We stayed at the Hilton for a few days not knowing anything about the Giavara brothers or the…read moretennis facility at the Hilton. To my surprise, the Hilton had 5 lighted courts AND the Giavara brothers running lessons and clinics in the property. I setup a lesson for my 17 year old daughter with Jason. Jason, or Jay, was absolutely fantastic. He was motivational, energetic, professional, and a great coach in general. We setup 3 lessons with Jay and each day was just as good as the previous. He really came off showing that he cared about improving my daughter's game. I have NEVER seen such enthusiasm in a coach in the 6 coaches my daughter worked with over 10 years! Superb coaching. Superb coaching style. I wish she could work with him longer. The commute from San Jose to San Diego would be a little much!! If we are EVER back in San Diego she will definitely be back. I spoke to Jay's brother, Ken, briefly, and he was very helpful offering advice for college recruiting and even offered some contact info for some local schools. These guys are really awesome. That's my honest opinion in the 3 days we were out here. I'm a little sad to leave so soon.

Shannon never picked up the phone or returned calls/voicemails. My tennis partner, to whom I gave…read moreShannon's phone was able to reach her. She scheduled date/time to come and pick up his racquets, but never showed up. Doug was rude and arrogant on the phone. Did a ton of talking, proclaiming himself to be the best in the world, but would not listen or answer any questions. On the phone I ended up listening to several 5 minute long speeches, but as soon as I'd try to respond Doug would cut me off after like half a sentence and continue to talk over me. He hung up the phone on me after like 10 minutes of talking by himself, without letting me say even a couple of sentences. Really unpleasant experience with both. Customer service and having respect for customers is important, so regardless of the quality of his stringing (which neither I or my tennis partner had a chance to find out) I would recommend going elsewhere for your racquet stringing needs.

Another year, many racket stringings later . . .Doug is still doing a remarkable job stringing…read morerackets. Perfection. It's rare to see someone take so much pride in every job. That's Doug. Text his wife Shannon to coordinate how you can get your rackets strung. She's at 858.776.7506. She's a gem of a person, too. Responsive and nice. Great local business.

Coach John runs a pretty good little program here. I've had both my boys go through the program,…read moreand both kids asked us to let them play again the following season. Thats huge, in my book. Why? Well, my boys are built like 1967 Refrigerators... short in height, super heavy in weight, and take a lot of money to run.. The amount of money I throw at these two little Baby Huey's is amazing, and honestly, there is little to no return on my money. "Dad - I need these Jordan 58's with the silver blah bling and limited dumdum" -cha-ching $250..- and they still cant jump. "Dad - I need this new self-bucketing basketball to improve my jump shot" -cha-ching $75-.. and they still cant score. With that being said - the SDNBP is cheap! John is so easy on my wallet for this program, its amazing. For your money you get a jersey and then a couple months worth of games and practices to keep these little slackers off the video games after school. Depending on the coach you get, my kids were practicing 3x a week for a couple hours, and then game night.. we cut down our cost on batteries for Xbox controllers in half by enrolling them in this program. In fact, if I do the numbers, I think this program actually saves me money overall! The coaches are awesome.. Good guys who volunteer their time to work with the kids.. John is also awesome, he runs this program and still has time to work with multiple teams as their coach as well. As far as skills and talent and all that stuff - man, I dont know anything about that stuff... I do know the kids all have fun, literally leave the house early to go play, and continually ask me to sign them up for the next season without me forcing them to play. That means a lot more to me than if Dumbo #1 learned how to slam-dunk or swoosh a 3-point shot. In todays world of "E-Sports", where you dont have to know how to really play to be good at a "sport", its refreshing to see these big couch potatoes running up and down the court, sweating their butts off, and crashing for the night once they get home. That right there is worth the price of admission.. All in all, if you want to keep your kids busy, let them play Rec Basketball with other real live kids, and keep them off your TV and Xbox - its well worth the money. Good job, Coach John! Go Ballers!

Mario deserves credit for promoting and providing Futsal opportunities for so many infantile soccer…read moreplayers in San Diego. My personal experience with Mario started out very good like so many skilled aspiring youth soccer players and parents. Mario did a great deal to help develop my sons early years of technique and touch on the ball. If it where not for SDFA my son would have not had those opportunities in the early years of 5-6 to play Futsal and develop important fundamental soccer skills. San Diego Futsal Academy is one of the only options for beginner players to experience hard surface Futsal in central and south San Diego. I would recommend try it for yourself and make your own decision before you listen. Mario has a reputation as a guy parents either love or hate. Try the program for yourself so you can decide for yourself.
