She has questionable coaching skills but uses the platform of "coach" to hide her maltreatment of girls which includes public demeaning, uncontrollable shouting, negative criticism, and she plays favorites with play time. We paid $3000 for our child to be on this team and it has been a complete disasterous experience for our entire family. I would strongly recommend avoiding this volleyball club to protect your child from serious emotional abuse by the current coach (TCVA 15-Black team). We reported the coach's unprofessional and bullying behavior to the director, who has done absolutely nothing. The purported mission posted on their website is a major misleading statement; they really seem to only be interested in your hard earned money. My advice: strongly consider your invest in this terrible organization (TCVA) as this will absolutely be the last time we deal with TCVA.

Kids as young as 4 years old can join provided they can swim the width of the Olympic size pool at tryouts . Basically Coach Bud, the driving force behind the Dolphins for the past 50+ years ,wants all kids to learn to swim, have fun while doing it and in turn this will build lifelong confidence. The chant is " I can do it"! If you are a die hard swim mom who thinks your kid is going to the Olympics because you are pushing them, please don't join this club. These kids are superstars in their own right. At the end of the season they swim a mile . Yes everyone, because at the end of the season even the most novice swimmer can!And they all get a trophy for it. There is a wonderful end of season banquet where all kids will be recognized. The Dolphins participate in regional and state swim meets. Some kids go one to get college swim scholarships.

I trained at this academy regularly, competed with the team, and for most of my membership…read moreconsidered the gym and its members an important part of my life. I learned a great deal, developed meaningful friendships, and previously had a positive relationship with the coaches. As a veteran, Jiu-Jitsu had become more than a recreational activity for me. It provided structure, community, purpose, and a constructive way to manage the transition out of military service. This context made the end of my membership particularly significant for me. Management developed concerns about my communication style, but I was not spoken to directly or informed that my membership was at risk. I later learned that the coach's wife had been discussing her concerns about me with one of my close friends for approximately one month. My friend repeatedly stated that she believed I was joking rather than intending disrespect and offered to speak with me about it. She was told that the coaches would handle the matter. No coach raised these concerns with me directly. And because my personality had never changed and had previously been accepted and interpreted positively, I had no reason to believe it was suddenly unacceptable and that a narrative was being built. When I later became aware that a joke in the team group chat had been interpreted as disrespectful, I sent my coach a private apology and explained that disrespect had not been my intention. I did not receive a response. This shows that once aware of issues, I was willing to adjust, apologize and communicate. It also shows that my coach and his wife are incapable of direct communication. Shortly thereafter, my membership was terminated by phone. The decision was communicated by my coach's wife. I did not receive a direct explanation from the coach who had worked with me most closely, mentored me, and had been preparing me to compete. During the call, I requested a conversation to better understand the concerns, provide my perspective, and assess whether the situation could have been addressed differently. I was informed that the decision was final and not open for discussion. I was not given a warning, a clear opportunity to correct the behavior, or a detailed explanation prior to the termination of my membership and my involvement with the team. I felt betrayed and discarded by someone I looked up to, admired and wanted to make proud. To have someone you trust not deem you worthy of even a single conversation felt like the cruelest abuse of trust. The last thing said to me during that conversation was "I hope your next gym gets your sense of humor", which was just an unnecessary insult and clearly a veiled insult driven by a personal vendetta that I was not privy to. I understand that a privately owned academy has the authority to determine membership. My concern relates to how that authority was exercised. Concerns were discussed with someone close to me over a period of weeks while I was not informed. An opportunity for direct communication was not taken, my apology was not acknowledged, and the matter was concluded without a direct conversation with the coach who had mentored me. I remain appreciative of the training and relationships I developed while I was there. However, I would not recommend this academy to students--particularly veterans or others who rely on Jiu-Jitsu for structure and community--if they prioritize transparent communication, clear expectations, and an opportunity to address concerns before membership termination. Update following the response: I understand the decision not to discuss these supposedly existent "private details" in a public forum. However, the central concern in my review is that they also declined to discuss those concerns with me privately. I was not warned that there was an alleged "pattern of conduct", my apology was not acknowledged, and my request for a direct conversation with my coach was denied. Their response does not address that communication process, which remains the basis of my review. Do better, Steven.

My daughter had a gymnastics competition here this past weekend!…read more When coming here we were met by a mini dust storm from the business next door! The staff was very friendly and concessions had lots of snacks and options. Upon entry we were crowded at the door to pay for entry . No breathing room . There is minimal seating for competitions as many had to stand. They did make efforts to get more seats but you can only fit so many seats in a small area. They did have room on the other side of the wall near the floor they could have used but had it blocked off. The set up was smooth for the athletes but not for videoing your children !

I put a deposit and everything. I still get $0 balance invoices. I'm pretty sure they are scamming people. Taking payments that are non refundable and never returning calls. DO NOT LEAVE YOUR DEPOSIT UNLESS YOUR KID IS FOR SURE IN.

We toured the facility in July and were told the wait was up to 3 months, that current teachers had…read moretheir kids there and that they had priority on the waitlist (understandable). However, they would all be moving up soon and therefore there would be openings in all the classes. We submitted a non-refundable waitlist fee of $150 (for 2 kids) on July 9th because we would be moving to Kyle in Jan. Since they never followed up I emailed them on December 8th and was told my younger child was 3rd on the list. I followed up again on Jan 12th and was told that he was now at the top of the list. I called twice in February and once again 2 weeks ago. We had to put the kids in other daycares. I called today and was told that the waitlist is longer than what I was quoted and there were people that have been on the list for 2 years. Overall not a good experience, the building is dated, and the yard is dry and bleak. The (residential) front doors can hardly be considered secure. When you enter the first thing you see is a glass wall with sun beat baby toys. If you want a daycare that will follow up and update you on the waitlist, or even return phone calls, just know it is not their policy to do so unless you are at the point of enrollment.

The foundation they received at La Casa helped inspire a lasting curiosity and genuine love of learning. They developed strong math fundamentals, and my son, who is dysgraphic, began discovering the learning strategies that best supported him as a reader. I have seen some of the negative reviews and serious allegations posted by former parents. I encourage you to do your own research, ask questions, and visit the school before drawing conclusions. In our experience, La Casa was a caring, community-centered environment that valued communication, partnership, and accountability among families and educators.

Kids are outside majority of the day ( outside time is needed but work and instruction time is also needed)- sleep for 3h. School do not follow Montessori protocol. Owner- yells and accuse kids. You don't have a voice as a parent. If you dare communicate something to the school that your child communicated with you- you will be told well " my staff and i didn't see it; so it didn't happen". Owner utilize fear to gain compliance even in parents. If you dare try different - you're done. Multiple sexual abuse/ aggravation accusations/ allegations made. STEER CLEAR. If you try to ask for funds that you paid; cops will be called on you and the location will be made a criminal trespassing ground. The owner claims she been working with kids for 30 years and she knows best but advise you to spank your kids. Scientifically proven that hitting your kids have long lasting effects. She is an older person, that acts like a child but demand respect from all. She only sees things her way and no other way. You're wrong if you disagree with her, your wrong if she feels threatened. You're wrong if you breath wrong. The co owners. God bless his heart. He is a good man and seems to care for the kids. Workers are great- they are all scared to speak their mind and will blindly agree to anything she says to avoid being in trouble. Now i am a single mother of twins. No where in this encounter was i perfect. I've had my flaws but communicating what my kids said to me- is not one of them.
