Our daughter joined only a few months ago and is already competing in tournaments on the girls' team, a real testament to Coach Harley, Coach Derek, and every one of the coaches. What stands out is how well the entire staff understands kids. They structure their training with the perfect balance of demands, held to a high level that pushes the kids to grow. And there's a place for everyone: advanced players can join the club team, while beginners can start in the recreational league and build their skills step by step. There's no forcing, no rushing, just patient, thoughtful coaching that develops each child as an athlete and a person. I've already recommended them to friends and family and will continue to, everyone I've sent for a trial lesson has stayed without exception. Irvine is fortunate to have a club this good. Highly recommend to any family!

After signing up as a Satellite Swimmer, I had to chase down the promised monthly workout files every single month. I got the workouts for September IN JANUARY after multiple e-mails to Coach Mike and anyone else I could contact. I mean, if you can't get the workouts to me, I guess that's fine, but after experiencing the total failure that is the Satellite Swimmer program, I requested to be removed from the team in January 2018, April 4th and again on April 26th. I was charged AGAIN, and they are now saying that they don't "issue refunds". Here we are almost in May and I'm still waiting for the workouts from February, March and April. I don't think it's considered a "refund"when I never got what I paid for in the first place. I am really understanding when people make mistakes, and my multiple e-mails over the last few months requesting workouts over and over again, show that I have a pretty long fuse. But when a group makes MULTIPLE mistakes without any remorse and then tries to scam me out of money and tells me they won't do anything to fix their errors, well I'm just not OK with that at all. There are so many amazing Masters Teams out there, I really recommend steering clear of a group like this.

Attending Wyse Basketball clinic for the first time impressed us so much that my son immediately loved their program. It was the perfect time that my son and Coach West met and worked together for a year because my son had the goal of playing for high school basketball. My son kept improving and he was always excited to learn everything Coach West had to teach him. It was another level of play for my son. He became more and more confident as his knowledge was increasing, that after a year of being in the academy, he went for the high school try-out and got accepted. Coach West helped him reach his goal. Coach West is very good in communicating with kids. He talks to them in a mild manner that makes the players feel respected. He taught not only basketball skills like defense and offense, but also respect and being humble in and out of the court. He encourages kids to prioritize academics and become responsible athletes.

I wish there were a zero star. I enrolled my son into Brea NJB and it has been a series of failures…read moreand disorganization by NJB. A week before the season starts they let us know that they hadn't secured any courts in Brea despite knowing for months that this season was going to be happening. Then they told parents that they needed a volunteer parent coach or the first game would be cancelled and continue to be cancelled without a volunteer. When no one stepped up they cancelled the game and I asked for a refund. I don't understand how they can't get these things organized before a season is set to start. I've asked for the refund one month ago and multiple emails where they had said my refund was submitted but I haven't heard anything. They've now stopped replying to me all together. So now not only are they incompetent they're straight up thieves. Do not support NJB.

We decided to try out NJB (Huntington Beach chapter) based on some recommendations from friends…read more Note: most of them tried it summer/winter season when I guess there's more participants and more volunteer help. However, the spring season for the Rookie division (K-1, 5-7 year olds) was super disorganized from the start and it hasn't gotten better after numerous parents bringing up concerns throughout the season with Coach Dennis who happens to be the founder of NJB too. This has been the worst sports league we have ever joined! 1) They shouldn't have 5-7 year olds play together and if they do, they should divide the teams equally by skill level but that wasn't the case. One team had much taller, more experienced players that would often dominate during scrimmages. Some of the younger ones would get upset, feeling discouraged which isn't a good start when introducing a sport. 2) The league should provide more coaching for basics and fundamentals as it was the first time for some of the kids playing. That being said, all practices are run by parents who volunteer to coach including some who reluctantly did so. Sadly, they are not given any instruction on drills so it's up to them how they want to structure practices. This happened the first time where the paid coaches just watched the volunteer coaches figure out how to coach the kids without giving them any guidance. After complaints, Dennis told us from week 2 week, we would have someone professionally give our kids instruction the first 30 minutes, then scrimmage the last 30 minutes but sadly that only seemed to happen 3x. The paid referees were supposed to come for all the scrimmages/games, but didn't. We had parent volunteers step in with some of the weekend scrimmages/games and referee too when no professional from the league showed up. This was so unprofessional. 3) Game times were sometimes changed 1-3 days prior to the actual game or from a Sunday to Saturday. One weekend we weren't suppose to have a game, then we were emailed that same week that we would have one. 4) Not all updated games have been emailed out. So some parents downloaded the NJB app (which only some knew about) and said that was more updated on there, but that still didnt show all the upcoming games. 5) Rookie division plays with 8 feet (vs 10 feet hoop). We found out in order to have practice with 8 feet hoops, we have to pay additional rental fees to practice at local schools that have them. When asked if we get a partial/refund, Dennis flat out said "no" because everything was done as promised, which wasn't. I'll be sharing my experience with other families and mom groups that I'm a part of.

Coach Curtis and Madi were outstanding throughout the season, creating a positive, competitive environment and helping the girls grow both individually and as a team.

BUYER BEWARE: High Cost, Low Communication. Read the fine print before committing…read more If you are looking into club sports, please do your research before signing anything. Based on our experience, here are the most critical things to verify before you commit: * Guaranteed Positions vs. Subbing: When offered a spot, ensure it is for the specific position your child wants to play. Do not accept vague promises of "potential playtime" or subbing opportunities. *Playtime Over Team Ranking: Don't get caught up in whether it is a 15-1, 15-2, or 15-3 team. A high-ranking team means nothing if your child spends the entire tournament on the bench, which causes immense frustration for both the player and the parents. *Coach Compatibility: Make sure you get a good vibe from the coach. A stubborn coach who refuses to listen or work with players will make the season feel hard, tedious, and heartbreaking for your child. *The True Cost: The base cost alone is incredibly high--around $7,000 to $8,000 and that does not include tournament fees or out-of-pocket travel expenses. Once you sign the contract, there is absolutely no recourse or refund. Save your time, money, and your child's mental well-being by researching thoroughly before joining.

For the training, it keeps our kids engaged and develops their skills. Although we've been in…read moreleagues before, the training offered is not as consistent nor as well thought out as UYP, which is focused strictly on training. We are incredibly pleased with their training so that when we play in the seasonal leagues the kids will have a better handle on the ball and understanding of the game. The basketball games that they play at UYP seems more focused on evaluating players for growth rather than chasing trophies since there are no tangible rewards for winning. It was a change of mindset we had to undergo as we continued on. Though I'm rating this at 5 stars for their academy, there are other issues present - including communication. The experience for parents isn't as streamlined since the space is rented from Momentous and I had to proactively reach out to be included in Telegram chats (the chat app of choice here). Since most sports leagues use sportsengine for sign ups, I was hoping this academy would make use of that app since the sign ups utilizes it anyway. Weekend basketball games for the club membership are about 20-30 minutes away from the gym they practice at and requires a hefty fee to watch.

They repeatedly used excessive physical contact, constantly running into opposing players. On multiple layups, they even came from behind and knocked players to the floor. What was even more disappointing was that some of the parents were standing on the sidelines laughing about it. This reflects very poorly on the culture of the team. The coach appears to do little to teach proper basketball fundamentals or sportsmanship. Instead, players are allowed to play recklessly and put others at risk of injury. This kind of behavior is dangerous and can easily result in serious injuries like concussions or even broken bones. I would encourage prospective families to read the other one-star reviews before joining. This does not seem like a program that prioritizes teaching young athletes how to play basketball the right way.
