UPDATE - FRAUD WARNING When we were researching basketball…read moreteams for our son, joining an AAU (Amateur Athletic Union) affiliated team was a top priority. The head coach fraudulently misrepresented that his was an AAU program. He enticed us and took our money, charging us for a full season up-front, then immediately dropped our son's team from participating in any games, when we started to question the "league games" that consisted of primarily playing against the same one or two teams. There are plenty of legit teams around. AVOID THIS FRAUDULENT ONE AT ALL COSTS, and spread the word. (See attached email pics) --- ORIGINAL REVIEW: BUYER BEWARE A short while after our kid had joined the Warriors team and played some games and scrimmages, we realized they had played multiple times against the same, much more advanced team, losing by 20-30 points each game. Other AAU teams make it a point not to play the same team twice, we have since learned. It is a big league, after all. After hearing numerous parent and child complaints about this one day, I emailed the coach, asking if the Warriors had plans to play against more evenly matched teams--or ANY other teams, stating also, "I agree winning shouldn't be the main focus, but I also know our child is not the only player who is disheartened, losing by so many points every game. It's just not an even match with that particular team." The head coach, Conrad, responded by canceling all our child's games "until further notice", and refused us even a partial refund. Then he claimed that all we cared about was winning (not true at all). He also falsely claimed that we had major concerns about our son's playing time, when we had never remotely raised any such concern. Despite being given multiple chances to do the right thing, clearly head coach Conrad was reaching for excuses to justify his operating in bad faith. What child would want to practice on a summer team that doesn't play any games--especially after having previously participated in the games? When I suggested the coach should take accountability for putting our child in a position to want to search for another team to join, he instead deflected and completely distorted the facts of the situation, and hid behind a "no refunds" policy. So be it, but the community should be warned. We did not press the coach for a refund for the team jersey once he stated his policy; however we felt that it was ethically questionable to discontinue our child's games shortly after charging us $100 for a uniform--and not to offer any partial refund for unused future practice time in good faith, despite HIS decision to cancel the games on our child. We did share what the consequences would be, if our request for a partial refund was denied, for unused practice time starting after Conrad canceled our child's team. When Conrad failed to respond, we eventually had to put a deadline on the response before taking this public. As stated above, there were multiple chances for this coach to do the right thing. We have been involved in many sports with different coaches, and this is the first time our child has ever reported feeling that the coach's style was abusive--specifically the head coach. There were times during practice when our child asked what he had gotten wrong during a drill, and, instead of teaching or correcting our child--the coach just screamed at our child to go to the back of the line. We also witnessed another child fall and slam his head against the concrete block wall of the gymnasium one time, crying afterwards--with very little, if any, concern shown by the coach. Avoid this basketball club. It is not well organized and the communication with parents is poor. The head coach does not embody the values he claims to impart on young, impressionable students of the game. He'll gladly take your money when the team is clearly maxed out beyond reasonable capacity, and won't think twice about kicking your kid to the curb, if you raise a simple concern.

I am writing to express my deep disappointment with our experience this past season at Lava…read moreVolleyball Club. While I had hoped this would be a season of growth and confidence-building for my daughter, it instead became a frustrating and disheartening experience -- not only for her, but for us as a family. From the very beginning, it was apparent that the head coach fostered an environment where mistakes were not used as learning opportunities but as reasons for ridicule. It became clear that when players made errors, they were often met with sarcasm or mockery. As a parent, I wanted to speak up earlier, but out of respect for my daughter's wishes and her fear of retaliation -- which, given the environment, I believe was a valid concern -- I refrained. Communication from the coaching staff was minimal and ineffective. In fact, parents were explicitly asked to direct any questions through the players themselves, which put undue pressure on the kids and left parents out of the loop. There was also never any mention or effort made toward team bonding, which is so important for a positive and cohesive experience -- especially at this developmental level. When the head coach was absent, the assistant coach maintained a more positive dynamic. However, even then, the tone among the team seemed immature and cliquish, which I understand may stem from the young age and inexperience of the head coach. The final straw for me, and what compelled me to write this letter, was our trip to Las Vegas. While my daughter played the first day, she was benched the second day after missing one serve -- a single mistake that immediately led to her removal from the game. To make matters worse, the head coach was overheard telling the assistant coach that she wouldn't be playing my daughter anymore -- loud enough for her to hear. She didn't play the rest of that game or the one after. When my daughter respectfully asked why, she was told it was because she missed her serve. All players missed serves throughout the tournament, yet none were sidelined as she was. She was later told she might play again -- but not in her usual position. In the third game, she was put in a position she had never played, clearly unprepared and set up to fail. Despite her effort, it felt punitive, not developmental. If statistics were kept, I am confident they would show that my daughter was not the weakest player on the team. Additionally, she was reprimanded for being on her phone before warm-ups, yet others who did the same were not held to the same standard. It was inconsistent and unfair. What hurts the most is that instead of building her up, this coach tore down her confidence. She took what should have been a highlight of the season and turned it into an embarrassment for my daughter. This is the opposite of what a youth sports coach should represent. I sincerely hope that my voice is heard, not just for my daughter, but for future players. If I am the first to bring this to your attention, I doubt I will be the last. I urge you to reevaluate the coaching approach and the emotional support being offered to these young athletes. They deserve to grow in confidence and skill -- not be made to feel small for trying.
