Between me and my kids I think we take tennis at most clubs in the North Shore. We've taken…read moreprivates here with Maria Fernitz who is fabulous when it comes to teaching both kids and adults. It seems to be easier to get a court here than some of the other nearby clubs (ex: North Shore Racquet Club) and it's always pretty quiet. In fact, there's many Friday mornings (during this pandemic) where we've been lucky enough to have the club to ourselves. The billing system is a little confusing. They invoice you and if you do a semi-private lesson with a few kids they can't seem to split the cost. Sometimes they invoice me and sometimes my son's friend so there's lot of consistency. We figure it out between us, but would be great to just pay for half the lesson each week, which doesn't seem to be an issue at any other club. For example, I take a lesson at Northbrook Racquet Club with 2 other friends and they split the cost between us at the front desk. Overall, been pleased w/ their covid protocols from masks to hand sanitizer at the front. It's also an easy drive from our house in Glencoe. I haven't taken any of their classes or from any other instructors, but Maria herself is 5 stars.

They will never talk to you and never acknowledge you.(pathetic individuals). Your kid will only play in low league tournaments and games with no taste to real soccer, MRL League, because the Kuba the Owner thinks the other teams will steal his players. The Kuba Soccer is great for your child till age of 10 y.o. after that, leave and don't deliberate.

While pickle seems to be all the rage, it's difficult to find places that offer pickle classes to…read morekids. My daughter and her wanted to try pickle and after attending a fun (adult) pickle party here I noticed they offered kids lessons. My daughter and her friend took 2 sessions of lessons here during the winter. They were in the 13+ group and said there were about 8 kids in the class. They seemed to enjoy it. Once it got warm enough they opted for lessons outside at our tennis/paddle club (can't beat being outside), but said they would definitely want to take more classes here next winter. I also noticed they have younger classes geared towards my 8 and 11 year old boys so may consider for them as well. I hung out in the waiting room one day while they played and there were many groups of adults coming in to play pickle as well. I'm just jumping on the pickle bandwagon, but would also consider for myself next winter.

There is an emphasis on teamwork, sportsmanship and character, all taught within the context of learning the skills of the sport. The practices are well-organized and well-run. Kraig oversees the program and communicates well with parents and makes a strong effort to accommodate families' needs. I highly recommend NVA for young kids starting out trying new sports.

We have been really pleased with NVA. We moved to the area almost two years ago and we are so…read morefortunate to have found such a great organization. My son has participated in baseball, soccer, basketball and summer camp. The coaches are patient, kind, respectful while teaching the foundations of the game. Sportsmanship, team building and foundational skills are the focus. This has been a great environment for my son to learn each sport and really has allowed him to build a passion for each sport he has played. I cannot say enough about the coaches. Coach Kraig, Coach George, as well as all the other coaches we have had between all the sports have been focused and positive. They build a positive environment in which each child can build confidence. My son is always learning something from each game/skills session/camp day and is always so excited to play. Coach Kraig is in charge of the program and really gets to know the kids, the parents, and puts in extra effort to make sure things run smoothly. He communicates well and is prompt to reply to questions as they arise. We trust him whole-heartedly and will continue participating with such a nice organization for our son and eventually our daughter. He is a great role model for our kids.

FSA = a well organized frat party for little kids... My son…read moreabsolutely loves his schoolyard sports class he takes at Joy of the Game (they teach at a few different locations). He's in good company because I don't know any kid or parent who doesn't love FSA. And what's not to love? The coaches are high energy, friendly & have the ability to keep the attention of dozens of pre-schoolers at once. I don't know what happens at half the classes my kids attend due to lack of communication from the teachers, but FSA does an amazing job communicating via email with us. We receive weekly updates, they post a ton of cute pics and my son loves their monthly challenges. The February challenge was to take a picture of your kids eating veggies and they'll give them a piece of candy. My son was almost as excited to eat his veggies at dinner that night as he is to go to FSA every week. Between the emails I get from FSA and the limited info I get from my pre-schooler it seems like they are introduced to many different sports, but most of their time there is spent playing game after game (including a lot of different versions of dodgeball). While dodgeball may be my worst nightmare, throwing balls at each other is a dream for these little boys (or even the few girls who sign up for their classes). My son comes out of FSA with a huge smile on his face and always sleeps well that night...so that's really all that counts! The schoolyard sports class consists of the youngest kids, but they have sports leagues (flag football, basketball& baseball) as the kids get a little older. They also have a summer camp that is extremely popular among the elementary aged school kids And their bday parties are also always a good time. Basically FSA is "strong" when it comes to everything they do and I know my son is in good hands with them!
