    My kid participated in the summer camp that runs 9 am to 1 pm. They are a beginner with some…read moreexperience doing Recreational Classes. They loved the coaches and the training and despite all the muscle aches couldn't wait to go back and learn more. The plan for the next Sommer is to sign up for more than 1 week. It does sell out fast.

    After spending several years in club volleyball across multiple clubs in the San Gabriel Valley,,…read moreour family can honestly say that Stormbreaker has been the best overall club experience we've had. What makes Stormbreaker different is that it was specifically created to solve frustrations that parents and players commonly experience in club volleyball. One of the biggest issues in club volleyball is roster size. Many clubs carry 12-14 players, meaning some girls spend large portions of tournaments on the bench, players worry about being substituted out after mistakes, and teammates feel like competitors fighting for the same playing time. Stormbreaker intentionally keeps rosters smaller, typically around 9-10 players. The girls are not only on the court more often, but they have a defined role and purpose. They are part of every match and rotation rather than wondering if they will see the floor. That consistency allows players to develop confidence through real game experience instead of constantly worrying about being replaced. Another major difference is training volume. Most clubs provide two practices per week. Stormbreaker provides three, plus additional opportunities for clinics, scrimmages, and position-specific development. More touches, more repetitions, and more feedback lead to more growth. Practices are also structured differently. Stormbreaker often has multiple teams training simultaneously with four or more coaches actively involved. Athletes are divided into position groups. Setters with setting coaches, hitters with hitting coaches, liberos on defense and serve receive, middles on middle-specific skills. The specialized instruction and repetition the girls receive is dramatically higher than what we experienced elsewhere. Stormbreaker also has something most clubs don't offer: a dedicated strength and athletic development area called The Vault. The girls participate in structured conditioning sessions focused on athleticism, explosiveness, core strength, injury prevention, and volleyball-specific performance. We've personally watched players become stronger, jump higher, and gain confidence over a single season. We also appreciated that development was built into the club experience rather than requiring constant outside lessons. Between three practices, specialized coaching, strength training, clinics, and additional opportunities for extra reps, our daughter received far more development within the program itself than we experienced elsewhere. Stormbreaker is also not built around a single coach. Jonathan, the club director, is deeply involved and genuinely cares about players and families. He has invested tremendous time studying collegiate, Olympic, and high-level volleyball development systems so coaches work from a shared philosophy. Unlike many clubs where your experience depends almost entirely on one coach, Stormbreaker has worked to build a consistent developmental system. The goal is that players continue progressing regardless of which coach they have because the training philosophy, skill development priorities, and expectations are shared across the club. What impressed me most, however, is the culture. The emphasis is not only on volleyball skills but on character, confidence, resilience, leadership, and personal growth. The club's mission and core values show up in how coaches interact with players, how families support one another, and how girls are encouraged to grow as athletes and young people. Our own team faced plenty of challenges. We had players learning new positions, several first-year club athletes, and periods of instability that could have derailed development. Instead, we watched the girls improve dramatically. They became more skilled, more confident, more competitive, and more resilient. Our daughter gained meaningful court time, developed confidence, and grew more in a single season than we expected. More importantly, she genuinely looked forward to practices and finished the season loving the game even more than when she started. We've spoken with many families from other Stormbreaker teams, and our experience is not unique. Parents consistently share that their daughters improved more in one season than in previous years elsewhere. No club is perfect, and Stormbreaker is still growing. But it was intentionally built to address problems many families have simply accepted as normal in club volleyball. They created an environment where athletes can develop, compete, build confidence, and genuinely enjoy the game. For our family, the difference has been significant, and we are grateful for everything our daughter gained this season both on and off the court.

    Stay away from this organization if you want your child to develope in soccer! They canceled all…read morescrimmages, games and practices because they don't have enough referees , we asked for a full refund after we where told no more games for us and they didn't want to give us a refund without them first charging the 150$$$ fee!!!! Stay away from this deceiving organization that is all about collecting the 150$$$ fee!!! You have been warned!

    Super disorganized AYSO league. We are past game 4 and some teams are playing without an uniform…read more There are no referees for the smaller kids so coaches have to referee and coach at the same time and then kids can even be bullied by other kids. Imagine, at that age when they are starting with their love for the game then be bullied in the field? Some teams have 5 players while other have 10 players so kids may have to sit half the game due to this level of disorganization. When you bring up your concern to the league then instead of an apology you get shamed for not volunteering (what if you have no time to volunteer?). I am grateful to the parents that volunteer but then the league needs to only absorb the kids they can pay referees for and for whom there are enough volunteers. In any case, I'm not sure where the dues went (over $100) if there are no proper referees and so many delays in uniforms. I will not return to this league and highly recommend that if you can look for a traveling team instead. Maybe look around and see if the other AYSO leagues are better, although I think this has to do with AYSO in general. If you join expect it to be very disorganized and poorly staffed.

    Beware! Unprofessional coaching and no regards for parents…read more I signed my 9 y/o up for her first year, which automatically put her into the minor league because of age. This meant it was a step above the farm league, to my knowledge because I wasn't informed on how the system worked. Our first day was about registration, try-outs and jersey sizing. Got the the park and there weren't any signs showing us where to go or where to start. I can imagine how most of the first time parents felt. In the email, they stated try-outs started at 10AM. We didn't even get onto the field until 11:30AM. Yes, there was a lot of 'farm league' kids who went ahead of us, but could there have been a little more organization? Such as, signs pointing where to go and a start time that was closer to what was stated in the email. The next email stated to meet again next week for try-outs. We showed up when we didn't have to! I only knew of this because I asked another parent, who was in the league the year prior. And, he said if I've already shown up last week....we didn't need to show up again this week. Again....with the disorganization and misinformation provided. Our third week was "first day of practice" with a professional major league from the Angels. Since my daughter was in softball, she didn't get the opportunity to practice with him because he was with the boys practicing baseball. So, we got to practice with the Alhambra HS girls softball team. Mind you, these girls aren't coaches nor do have any experience coaching girls softball. But, the league still trusted them to coach little girls. Another thing was there weren't any signs again, showing the parents where to go. During practice my daughter suffered a horrible injury with a ball being thrown really hard to her left cheek by another HS player. Luckily her glasses didn't shatter into her eyes! And like I said, these girls are not meant to be coaching nor should have the authority. But the league still trusted them to do so. There were a couple older volunteer coaches around but they were not apart of the practice, more of just sweeping the field. Lastly, as I sent an email requesting for a refund which took longer than it should have. I emailed them 3 times asking to speak with the head coordinator about the incident and got no response not even a phone call. Now this results in my daughter not ever wanting to play. And, anyone who is thinking of joining should check out what's going on with this organization(disorganization) before they waste their money here. This review is mainly for the softball side of the organization, I don't know too much about the boys baseball. But, from other conversations with parents, they seem ok.

The only ones paid are the umpires. The only thing my daughter complains about is that there are not enough teams to play against. It's sad that they keep on playing against the same 3 or 4 teams throughout the season. I hope they can get at least 2 more teams than normal together this year.

    One of my favorite parks in the area--…read more I originally heard of this park after a recommendation on where to host a baby shower/ park picnic. We ended up renting a large picnic shelter and it is actually in high demand during the summer time (rented out in June for an August date). Despite a very warm day (mid-high 90s) the shelter kept us relatively cool. The kids loved the space-themed playground and the large shelter can host up to 180 or so people whereas the smaller shelter can host up to 50 or so people. (+): experience with renting out the shelter- benches were clean, employees were nice (+): amenities of the park- tennis courts, large walking area, multiple parking lots, basketball courts Overall, I would come here again and also consider renting out the park shelters.

    Live Oak Park is one of the most popular parks among residents locally and visitors that reside in…read moreother cities. They have a designated walkway for people who are running/walking, basketball courts, tennis courts, pickleball courts, playground, and spaceship in the middle. It's newly renovated which makes the quality a lot smoother than before. Restrooms are available as well near the courts and also near the playground area. Parking is plentiful in parking lot but can fill up quick. Street parking is also available for free. There's 8 pickleball courts, which fills up quick these days. You can queue up with your paddles when it's full. The pickleball community here is great, on the weekends there's people who manage it voluntarily which is nice for newcomers. Overall, a great renovated park, very clean, friendly people, and spacious.
