1 star is even too high to give for this awful league. We wanted to play in a men's league this…read moresummer, were ok with the fee stated online, and registered early. Before the first game, which was moved to a later date than stated online because they wanted to wait for another team to join (which screwed the entire scheduling over), the league came up with referee fees that needed to be paid in addition to the original fee. This was never stated anywhere and was simply made up for the referees to breath fresh air for about an hour and stand in one place the whole game. Not following the rules of soccer and concussion protocols is another issue. We emailed Ryder, the Program Manager for this league, who often did not answer emails that had simple questions from our team. His scheduling was awful, originally stating that games would be between 8-10, and then scheduled us two games at 7, knowing that adults have work on weekdays. Everything that is written online is fake, and is only used to get you to sign up. None of these people can run this league normally. During our third game of the season, half of our team could not continue and finish the game. One of these injuries is was a Torn ACL (meaning no soccer for our teammate for over a year), another was a hamstring injury for about a month, another was a groin injury for about a month. None of these injuries were even called to be a foul. The refs just stand in one spot and could not care less about what happens on the field. Our teammate said that he heard his knee pop, but did not even hear a whistle. Two games after that, our goalie saves a shot and has the ball in his hands. The other team just runs at him and kicks it out of his hands, hitting him in the head while doing so, scoring a goal after that, while our goalie is down. Do these refs even do concussion trainings, or any trainings at all? Do they know what can happen if someone gets kicked in the head? Then in the playoffs, we played a team we faced twice already. We know every player on that team already. The game is already starting late as the previous game went to penalties, but the ref calmly waits until some of their players are getting dressed. They have more than enough players to start the game, but he waits until their new players get ready. These new players don't even have the team jersey (which is required as stated online, don't have shinguards, which is also required as stated online, and have shirt colors that conflict with us). Then when they win by cheating, they go and have very very poor sportsmanship while we simply quietly go back to our bench after losing (I know sportsmanship policies are also stated online). All of these games, the ref uses very very bad and insulting language to one of our registered players who is on the sideline, who partially acts as a coach. Overall, terrible communication throughout, rules online that are not followed at all, and the league runs a month later than stated online. If you want to have fun playing soccer, please find another league. You will thank me later.

Absolutely awful soccer league and awful people to deal with…read more The league started late, finished a month later than promised. Games were cancelled. Hidden fees came out. Little communication. Emails are not answered. Referees are just there to get paid. Lots of injuries, including many serious ones, as a result. Teams cheat by bringing unregistered players for playoffs. One of our players forgot the jersey and could not play, but in the next game the other team had 4 players in different jerseys (who were brought in for the playoff game and not part of the team) and they were allowed to play. The worst league ever encountered. Find another league. And the field is very small to play soccer, because BSSC tries to fit lots of games on a small field to maximize $$$. On top of that they just change the rules to accommodate their agenda and manipulate key calls to let the teams they know players on win.

Also as a Varsity Card holder, I get special invitations to private parties with free access and even free drinks! If you play on a league, you receive 10% off your individual team fee. The card can also be used at various venues for no line/no cover access and 10 - 20 % discounts on foods and products. Additionally, the card already comes equipped with $25 from BuyYourFriendADrink.com to use at participating bars! The best part is that I only have to carry one card to get all these discounts and special access, all the while doubling as my BYFAD card. Just a Note: SBS also offers a JV card as well with similar discounts and access.

If I could give zero stars I absolutely would!…read more I have never done this before.... But.... I am sooooo completely blown away by this customer service I had to! I am attaching a text thread that I had with the owner of the studio Bobby. I found him completely professional and insulting. If you like people like that you will love this guy. He has a business practice not to provide prices over the phone, you have to come into the studio. Ok totally fine, even though I explained that I needed it in order to budget and that coming in just for that info was inconvenient. He proceeded to tell me that if that was too inconvenient then it would probably be too inconvenient for me to take my child there 2 or 3 times a week. No - sorry sir, I am business owner and single parent who needs to manage my time and money wisely. If I went to every studio that I was interested in I would never have time to make a commitment. He then compared himself to jewelery stores and car dealerships... Which we all know, everyone hates dealing with these 2 types of businesses due to their shady business practices - though now a days - car dealerships have caught on and have their prices plastered all over their website... For what reason? Oh, to attract customers! Then knocked the name of a VERY reputable martial arts studio which has been in business for over 30 years! Take a look at this thread and then tell me if you want your child training under someone who is so combative, unprofessional and plain rude. He is the type of person I am trying to protect my child from. I mean he mocked the name of another studio to make his studio look better?! Who does that?! Then when I told him that this was going to be posted on Yelp and Google, he said people like me love to do that... No sir, I do not love to do that... It's my duty to inform those of extremely poor experiences so that I can save someone else from having a similar experience. If you look at another reviewer they also mention that he has shady business practices and would not honor the Groupon's that he has already sold! It's sad, I see he is a good instructor but integrity is everything. Also, isn't humility a characteristic that martial arts is supposed to teach? How can one learn humility from someone like this?

Months ago, I was looking to move my body more, and in a way that didn't feel like a complete slog. I've never liked running or hitting the gym, so I needed something that would feel more like fun to me. I knew Esh existed, and out of the blue it hit me that mayyyybe I could take classes there. That was almost 3 months ago, and I started with 1 class per week. Now, I am up to 2 classes each week and I am considering upping it to 3 classes a week in the fall. The people who work at/take classes at Esh are kind, supportive, and there are many ways to learn new things while taking it at your own pace. There are so many different class offerings - everything from tumbling to contortion, plus aerial arts and much more.
