"My son plays for Nemesis and loves every coach he trains with! Coach Flotte, and Coach Ryan have been such great role models to him and push him every practice. Monty, Tina, Angie and Judy are all such wonderful people that are always accommodating and welcoming. You feel like you are part of a family at Nemesis! It's been so great watching my son grow in his skills and love for the game over the past year we've been with Nemesis" read more

Before you join, make sure you read the negative reviews. Despite reading them, we thought we'd give it a try. Be sure you are clear that in addition to the stated charges, there is a fee of $15 per person per day to watch the games. This is on top of the $35 one day tournament fee, which is higher for multiple days. Playing time is not guaranteed. If your player is a sub (more were subs than not) and you have 4 family members attending. The cost is 4x$15=$60 door fee, $35 tournament fee, lets say $5 for gas/food. Total $100. One mom said her player played 8 total minutes for two games. So you would have to go to 7 1/2 tournaments to see an hour of play. That would cost $750 ($100 x 7 1/2) to see an hour of play. This is NOT listed in their fees, which also includes practice fees, annual fee and uniform fee. My granddaughter joined and was in the Nemesis organization for five months. Many, many promises and excuses, but NEVER played a game, not even a practice game. During that time she missed one Tournament due to vacation. The team took 12 players, so the team consisted of a lot of subs. Why not form two teams and let everyone play more? The $300 uniform is non refundable and has been worn once on a Uniform Day at School. The league fee is non refundable even if you never play a game. If they do a fund raiser, read it carefully. The one they did while my granddaughter was there said the funds go to them with no benefit to outside charities or to your account. I've been around youth sports for over 50 years, I've never ever come across a sports organization, that doesn't conduct games in their respective sports in a timely and repetitive manner for all players. Doesn't have to be a fancy tournament, in basketball, all it takes is a ball and 10 kids wanting to play a game. Practice days and times may change after you sign up, so don't count on them staying the same. I've omitted other subjective issues and I've tried to make this review as factual as possible. If you are comfortable, with all these facts, then consider joining. Edit for business response - Of course our views are different I paid $600 (excluding other practice fees) for my granddaughter to play basketball games and she never played in a game - NONE. On the other hand, you received money to provide games and kept the money even though she never played in a single game. Bad for me, good for you. Please be specific and state what is inaccurate in my post and I will fix my post. I brought you two players that could have been with Nemesis for 10 years, but it's a fact in 6 months she didn't play one game of any kind - not a single attempt for a practice game. When I asked for the squad to be broken into two groups and play each other in a practice game, I was quickly told not enough players. We had 12. Even now with 14 players, why not enter two teams and let everyone play. There were many ways to provide game play and keep us in the program. Keep in mind that the future splitting of the team is only the most recent explanation (excuse?) we have heard for no games. For the first 3-4 months we were always told "soon". Now upon exiting, we're told there's a LEAGUE FEE we didn't pay for her little sister in Lil Crushers for which there is positively NO games. We are not the only parent/guardian of Lil Crushers surprised by this. If your a basketball club that can't provide games for some players, why not encourage them to play elsewhere while you execute your "process"? When Willow considered playing a few games at MaxPro everyone was offended. Did you also know that Coach Pam told Willow she was going to be captain of the team? Then I have to explain to Willow, they probably said that to everyone. At the last practice, we attended. I was wondering why are we still here at Nemesis. I asked Willow at the water break, "Do you want to stay?" She said, "No, I want to go home. Willow spent 6% of her life waiting to play a game at Nemesis. On the positive side, the $8,000 a year I had budgeted for Nemesis is now free for other activities. read more

DON'T Recommend!! Poorly run, not structured, Untrustworthy! Sadly 4 times was enough for me. On the second time showing up, Nemesis sales front ladies gave me the sales speech and sold me a $50 tournament under the verbal understanding that my 4th grader team player (who was playing a tournament for his very first time) will be in the "Raptor Team" a 5 player team playing games 5 on 5 and was going to be paired with a very skilled player to make his first time tournament games a rewarding experience. My 4th grader showed up to a 3 player team with a different name & different team players that were also beginners. The 3 beginner players lost all games, furthermore one player left after 3 games and the other player was in tears in the second game. My 4th grader did not wanted to play ever again! After 2 weeks of talking to my 4th grader into not giving up and give basketball (what he loves to play) another try, we showed up for what Nemesis call "Scrimmages" on a time that was previously provided in writing to us and verbally confirmed at time of drop off, of 6-7:30pm on Fridays. Since we showed up early, Nemesis put my 4th grader into playing an already in progress scrimmage, charged me in full and my child played for less than 40 min and the place closed. Since we dropped off, My child waited outside in the parking lot with the owner for over 30 minutes waiting for me to arrive and the owner did not called nor could find my contact information to call me. When I shared my discontent as a customer and requested my money back, they did not care to listen. Be aware, Do not drop off your child, there is No refunds, there is extras charges for every spectator in tournaments that they don't tell you upfront, they don't keep the same teams they sell you upfront, they will use your child to fill up spots. If your child is young and a beginner this is Not the place. read more
