I heard about BPA through a friend that had a great experience with their kids there. I took my son…read moreto try out a lesson, and liked it enough buy a 10 lesson package for $600. Since signing up, the coach has cancelled on us several times (letting us know just a couple of hours before the scheduled time btw), and after multiple attempts to get a hold of him to reschedule, he has completely ghosted us. We had a great interaction for the only lesson we had, so not sure why he won't respond to texts or calls. Due to that, I've tried calling the academy directly over a dozen times over the last 3 weeks, and no one ever picks up the phone. So, they've taken my money, provided no services, and I can't get a hold of anyone to hold them accountable. This is really sad to me given how small and tight the baseball community is here in South County. For whoever the owner or general manager is of the academy, I would love the opportunity to share my experience with you so you understand how you're paying customers are being treated. Also, I'd appreciate my $600 back.

Love this league and the reputation they have of producing talent year after year. RTGSA was so…read moregood to my family, that even after my daughter moved on to play travel ball, we stayed involved to help during tryouts and fundraisers. The sense of community pride can be felt during games and practices. In fact one time at Disneyland a parent saw my RT hat and he raved about his experiences playing against RT in tournaments and he always knew he would face some strong competition. As fall ball winds down and you are looking for a place to play in the Spring, I recommend RTGSA highly.

My experience with RTGSA has been nothing short of a nightmare. My daughter was being relegated to…read morethe outfield and I was not sure why, since her performance at games and practices was better than the players being placed in the infield positions in competitive games. When she was benched more than any other player during our first tournament, I decided to talk to the coach. I was surprised at how unreceptive he was. I was simply asking if he could consider my child for infield play in a competitive game. He said she had not earned it. I pointed out that she had no errors during the noncompetitive games, when he did allow her to play infield, while the other players had several errors in the competitive games. He said it wasn't based on games, but rather practice performance. I had been at every practice and was pretty sure my daughter performed as well or better than the other players; however, I was open to the possibility that I was wrong. So I payed careful attention at the next practice and filmed the drills and sure enough my daughter made more plays than the other players chosen over her. The coach had told me positioning was a group decision between the coaches and that I should discuss the issue with the other coaches. When I did, I was attacked and accused of "throwing kids under the bus." It didn't make sense that discussing my daughter's performance with the coaches, which was what they allegedly did before every game, was being characterized in such a negative manner. It was odd and confusing. Then it occurred to me that perhaps this was an attack because my daughter is the only black player on the team and how dare I say she's better than the white players. Although I asked for an explanation regarding this terminology, I never received one. Although the head coach had previously invited parents to approach him directly if they had a problem, rather than discussing the matter with other parents, so that the environment could remain positive, and despite my honoring his request, the assistant coach took my email out of context and sent it to all the parents behind my back. At the next practice my daughter got 5 minutes of infield drills while the other players had 40 minutes of infield drills. The very next game, that coach's wife manipulated the data in GameChanger omitting errors by the infield players. When I raised the issue with the president of rtgsa, he blew me off. He gave some lip service dismissing my concerns and did nothing to address how my daughter was being mistreated at practice or the manipulation of data on GameChanger. He refused to turn over form 990, which is required by law for a nonprofit organization and refused to turn over the "coaches code of conduct." Why would they withhold their own policoes I don't know how a simple request evolved into this heated battleground, unless racism is at play. My daughter was so distraught, asking me why does the coach say he's going to rotate us but he puts me in the outfield the whole game. She even wrote a letter to the president about the unfair treatment, but of course he was too cowardly to respond. If my daughter notices the mistreatment, I have to believe the other players see the only black player relegated to the outfield and benched more than other players. I wouldn't want that message sent to my child, regardless of color. There are lots of options for softball and I would be wary of how your child will be treated and what your child will be exposed to with this league. Just want to update what occurred after my post. At a scrimmage, the following evening, the coach began yelling at me in the middle of the scrimmage for filming the scrimmage. Then I was threatened that my daughter better not return to RTGSA in the Spring. To be clear, it's 2019, and they don't want the one black player on the RTGSA 10U Force team to return.

Since I just moved to the neighborhood and The Club is within walking distance I frequent the gym…read morehere often if not daily. It is a small gym and the equipment is older (especially the weights and the weight machines) yet besides basic leg machines you can find here everything you need. Since it is a small space it can get crowded very fast especially when teenagers decide to hang out (not work out). From time to time you will have a macho guy with an attitude show up but overall it is a friendly place. The lap pool is nice if you can visit during fall and winter. Once the kids are out- just forget it. I cannot even imagine what the summer will be like. With that goes the bathrooms- water everywhere. I hope they will have the maintenance people visit more often during the busy times. The hot tub is nice as long as you don't have kids making out in there- again- the school months are the most enjoyable. The tennis courts are nice but tend to fill up fast so unless you sign up you are out of luck. I have yet to try the racquetball but am planning on it. As for the staff some are real friendly and nice some grumpy and bitter. All depends who is on the shift. Overall not a bad place to keep in shape.

We're incredibly grateful for the coaching and encouragement our daughter has received at American…read moreBeach. The trainers invest so much time and care into each athlete, and it shows not only in skill development but in confidence as well. This season our daughter earned a varsity spot at her high school and was placed in the top pairing for her first match -- a huge milestone that reflects the foundation built during her time at American Beach. She always comes home from practice with stories about what she learned, encouragement from the coaches, and the fun of competing alongside everyone. American Beach didn't just help her improve -- it gave her a genuine love for the sport. We're very thankful for this community and the impact the coaches have had on her both as a player and as a person. Highly recommend to any family looking for great training in a positive, supportive environment.

FUN Kids need to have fun and enjoy themselves. My two kids have come home wanting to go back for more! Yes... they loved it and enjoyed the staff and training instructors. Fun is critical for kids... Yes, they are serious about volleyball but understand that kids needs to have fun! SKILLS TRAINING Our two kids 16 and 14 (boy and a girl), have come home with a better understanding of passing, hitting, serving, blocking, defense, setting, serve/receive, defensive strategy, attack strategy, service routine, serving strategy and more. I can not say enough about this club. LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT My kids have come back understanding more about being a good leader. The talks and feedback that the training instructors and staff have given my kids has been so positive. Highly recommend! BOTTOM LINE If you are looking for a volleyball camp for kids who are serious about volleyball, has an element of fun, and is taught by people of integrity and leadership skills... I highly recommend the American Beach Volleyball Club!

My son has played soccer for 6 years, 2 seasons with AYSO and 4 with LNYSA, and we've had amazing…read morevolunteer coaches, fair play time and both fun and competitive WINNING seasons. This year we decided to try Elite soccer league to play closer to home, and it turned out to be one of the worst experiences we've had in youth sports. Starting with fees: we paid the standard league registration fees, but right before the first practice we learned we had to pay separately for uniforms and the coach, something no other rec league has ever charged us for, and none of this was communicated upfront. Ironically only league that charged for uniforms and at the same time did not enforce uniforms, there were kids that never once wore the uniform and the coach never addressed it. Now the coaching: they surprised us with a charge for a "pro coach" but what we got was worst than any parent volunteer we've ever had. The coach did nothing but scream the entire season, shouting confusing instructions while the kids were mid play, constantly criticizing and berating them on and off the field for everyone to witness rather than 1 on 1. It was toxic, chaotic and discouraging to watch. The "pro coach" also rarely rotated positions, and never rotated certain kids out. The same kids played the same positions week after week, while others barely got play time. That's unacceptable for a recreational league. It would've been one thing if he had a winning strategy, and kids were positioned to win games, but this wasn't the case, these kids not only lost all but one game; they were absolutely obliterated by HUGE margins (1-9, 0-8, etc.), and he still wouldn't make adjustments. One kid in particular who didn't sit out the entire season, couldn't run, tripped on his own feet and moved like molasses, and no he didn't score one of the 4 goals this team made ALL SEASON, also never wore the uniform. This team played defense the entire time, and never worked on basic offensive skills. It was painful to watch and even worst for the kids' morale. Losing is part of sports and part of learning, that wasn't the issue, it was the constant chaos, negativity, the way these kids were coached (if you can call it that), poor leadership, lack of support, and a toxic tone that made it unbearable. We couldn't wait until this season was over, this was by far the most disappointing program/league we've ever encountered, and any pleasure in attending games was out the window by week two. This was a completely wasted season for my son. We were warned by another mom whose child tried Elite last year, after playing with us at LYNSA the previous 2 years, the experience was so bad her son, he lost interest in soccer all together and hasn't played since; but I never in a million years imagined it could be this bad. I can confidently say, do not waste your money and your child's time with Elite Soccer league. Overall a horrendous experience.

I asked for the advertised practices, and Elite said they'd set something up--but after that, they completely ghosted me despite multiple emails and texts. My son only went to one game, and it was such a disaster that he actually lost progress in just that day. Coaches were running around on the field with the kids, shouting instructions as they tried to figure things out, and the coach admitted she didn't know what she was doing and was only volunteering to avoid the cost of hiring a professional coach. This program is misleading, disorganized, and not at all what they advertise.

1 Star - Not a Suitable Venue for Tournaments…read more I would strongly caution any club considering scheduling a tournament at Prime Volleyball Club's facility -- especially teams traveling from out of town. The space is extremely small and not equipped to handle tournament traffic. There is no seating for spectators. Between games, parents and players are not allowed to sit outside on the shaded grass. There is simply nowhere to sit and no designated rest area. Parking is very limited and chaotic. The heat conditions were unacceptable. We were on Court 5 and the air was stifling. I personally asked multiple times -- and even called and left a message -- requesting that the AC be turned on, doors opened, or fans used. Two players suffered bloody noses due to the heat. When leaving, I saw several large industrial fans sitting unused in a corner. That was extremely frustrating. Travel volleyball requires a significant financial and time commitment from families. Facilities hosting tournaments should meet basic standards of comfort and organization. Officiating was also concerning. On Court 5, the referee appeared to have familiarity with one team and allowed repeated violations that affected the integrity of the match. Multiple parents -- from both sides -- commented on it. It impacted not only that game but the energy going into the next one. This venue feels more like a converted office space than a proper tournament facility: limited parking, no seating, minimal climate control, and little staff support. Families invest a great deal into these events. At minimum, we expect safe playing conditions, fair officiating, and basic accommodations for spectators. Unfortunately, this location did not provide that. DO NOT GO HERE!!

As a 5'2 mom, this absolutely sucked having to pay $20 and then not even getting to see my kid play because of the taller people standing in front of me. Seriously the planning could not have been worse... Additionally you can't bring a cooler inside, which means extremely limited food...but they don't serve food (besides pizza) and there are no food places within walking distance. It's a little annoying. But the seating annoys me most.
