OCX is the best baseball training our sons have ever received. Ruben and the rest of the OCX…read moretraining staff are very knowledgable when it comes to baseball skills & techniques, and most importantly they are extremely good at teaching them how to perform the fundamental skills safely to prevent injury. My husband and I not only appreciate what the coaches know, but we are also continually impressed that the coaches are good teachers and offer constructive & positive re-enforcement, and that they're tough-love kind of coaches. You can know a lot and be a crappy teacher, but that's not the case with these guys! While the facility offers cage time, private lessons, and group & team training - our sons have had the privilege to play on their OCX Baseball Academy teams. From a parents point of view, our boys have learned a lot from being on these teams. They fully understand the concept of "earned" playing time now. We are grateful for less of the political "BS" that goes on in the local rec leagues - and even more grateful to not be experiencing "Daddy ball" or "coach Dad" anymore.

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.

After a…read morelife-threatening injury, we were searching for a place where she could safely rebuild her confidence and skills. Sam and Blake welcomed her with genuine care, guiding her through both physical and mental recovery. Their encouragement and expertise not only helped her regain her strength, kicking, and jumping abilities, but also transformed her footwork, enabling her to play confidently out the back and even on the field. Every week, she looks forward to training and leaves feeling motivated and supported. Sam and Blake's advice has made a huge difference--not just in her play, but in her outlook on life. We are deeply grateful for their dedication and compassion. If you want coaches who truly care and make a lasting impact, I cannot recommend GRIS Football highly enough!

Despite it being $500/child, the camp wasn't staffed properly for the number of campers. My kids couldn't get "help" with their robots and creations despite multiple requests for help. When I called, I was told the project was "too hard" and "it's hard to help everyone" and it would be better the next day. The issue here is that they shouldn't have allowed so many campers in if they don't have the staff to support it. My kids still brought home creations that "didn't work" the rest of the week. On top of this, the staff doesn't stay on top of disciplinary issues - my son was hit in the face and told staff but nothing was done. We won't be back...and I get the impression this isn't isolated to my kids and my experience.

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.

The coach sat the entire time, simply giving instructions, which made it difficult for my daughter, who is brand new, to keep up with the warm-ups and across-the-floor exercises. Despite this being a Tumbling 1 class, they were doing back walkovers and front walkovers during across-the-floor drills. How is this considered a beginner-level class? My daughter didn't receive any spotting, even though she can't do a back walkover yet and was trying her best to keep up. I initially gave the coach the benefit of the doubt since she mentioned she wasn't feeling well that day. However, when we returned the following week, it was the same thing. The coach began the class sitting down, gave instructions, demonstrated a little, but again didn't spot or assist the new students at all. It feels like a Tumbling 1 class here assumes you're already trained and just need a space to practice. While the coach seems skilled, they lack the teaching approach necessary for beginners. A true beginner class should involve more hands-on assistance and spotting to help build confidence and ensure the students are learning safely. This is not how a beginner program should be run.
