UPDATE - FRAUD WARNING When we were researching basketball teams 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. read more

See all

My son loved the basketball camp. First time ever. Learned a lot and enjoyed the weeks end games. He was even moved up an age group. Thank you Coach read more

This is a great place to go. Coach Conrad does great with the kids, and builds their confidence all while being honest with them when they mess up. My son knew nothing about basketball when he started, and even with a large disparity in skill, I see my son making massive improvements in both his skill and his confidence. He doesn't let him get away with being lazy or not paying attention, and even with all that he still wants to go. It's one of the only things my son has stuck with and he is not only getting better in basketball but also with his attitude. read more

worst experience with this coach, my kid hated this organization. They just want your money they care nothing about the kids or developing their skills. read more

My son played with the Warriors for 10 years with Coach Conrad This was the best decision. Coach Conrad is amazing and has amazing coaching style. My son always looked forward to practice and the games. I am now taking my grandson and he has now been with Warriors for about 4 years. I would strongly recommend the Warriors to your child. Kids will be taught discipline, responsibility, sportsmanship and of course have fun. The Warriors Basketball is a great method of keeping kids off the streets. Maria Mancilla read more

My son loves coach Conrad. He feels safe and supported by him in every practice and game. He improved his skills tremendously. We are looking for many more years to continue with our practice with the coach. Thank you. read more

Coach Conrad brings the perfect blend of humor, love and structure to his coaching and the game. He's competitive but models good sportsmanship. My son has been with Conrad for 2 1/2 years and he has improved in his skills and knowledge of the game tremendously. It's a great program. Great parents, great facilities, good times! read more

I hear them makes statements that are schooling these children on life lessons .... i really appreciate how they motivate them , and how they focus on team building , and Supporting one another ... i recommend this team read more

I took my boys for their first practice session. I have to say both my husband and I were really impressed with the training and program, it's high intensity and diligent on their training but the couches make sure to also make it fun. My boys really enjoyed it and we are looking forward to signing them up for the season. read more

Coach Conrad runs an organized, educational and fun program. He is amazing with kids. Great demeanor and very knowledgeable. We have used him for our ten year old son for private and semi private lessons and loved him so much we joined his competitive team. Highly recommend!!! read more

As a former players I would suggest this team to anyone who is looking to not only to improve as a player and go on to play collegiately, but to also grow as a person. Warriors Elite helped me build myself to who I am today, as well as well as gave me the tools I needed in the real world. Conrad really cared for all his players, instilling confidence, hard work, and grit. In addition being apart of the warriors elite team gives you exclusive opportunities to showcase your talents to scouts. We always participated in top tournaments, camps, and special invite practices, runs, etc. Conrad knows that exposure is an important part of the recruitment process and puts you in positions to succeed. Again I would highly suggest Warriors elite as a team to anyone looking to join a basketball team. read more

Love this basketball program. It's helping our son take his game to the next level -- and helping him become a better young man at the same time. Coach Conrad and his coaching staff know their X's and O's and are all good people, too. They teach basketball the right way and provide a culture where teamwork, consistency, discipline, accountability, character and family are all stressed. Can't say enough good things... Appreciate you Coach Conrad! Go Warriors! read more

I was first exposed to the warriors elite basketball program during my high school basketball years. Coach Conrad came in and took over for a coach that most of us were not fond of. So, we were all excited for a new coach. Overall, coach took us in and brought us into his program and taught us the ins and outs of the game in order to make us better players. But more importantly he pushed us to give it our all and never give up. He gave us life lessons that stay with me to this day. After my time of playing, Conrad still did an amazing job keeping track of all his players and watching them grow and become men and women that he was proud to send into the world. If you are looking for a coach or a program that will shape your kid to be a good basketball player and a better person, look no farther than Warriors Elite Basketball! read more

Growing up it was hard for me to find a team that would accept me and be a perfect fit , I was 12 years old when i started with conrad. I'm now a 24 year old man and can honestly say conrad has always been there for me the past 12 years of my life , on and off the court. Yes basketball is fun when you are winning (Which we did a lot , Multiple champions and state tournaments and NATION INVITATIONAL)... Winning all of those was amazing , but besides that conrad molded me into the man that I am today, he tought me how to hold my own, to believe in myself , he helped me bring out confidence I never knew I had. He was really there for me no matter what and turned me into a high level player receiving multiple offers all thanks to conrad. Conrad should be charging 10 times more than what he is , he would feed us , drive us to our games , drive me home , pay for my stuff when i didn't have enough money and he never asked once to be paid back for any of those things. All he asks from you is LOYALTY and for you to give your 100%. I appreciate conrad so much and when I have kids of my own I'm definitely enrolling them in warriors youth program. read more

My sons love playing with Warriors Elite. They are learning so much from Coach Conrad. Each time they practice they inprove more & more.

I stubbled upon Warriors Youth Basketball in October 2015 in a desperate attempt to find something for my teenage son to do besides playing video games. I had no idea that most sports are already in full swing by October...luckly Conrad was willing to add new students mid season. My son was able to join even though he had no basketball experience. Conrad has been working with my son diligently and its paying off, he's getting some skills and really improving. Luckily, my son is a fast runner and naturally athletic, so it's been just a matter of learning the game. I also appreciate that Conrad takes the time to explain how my son is improving and where he needs to work more. He really truly cares about my son and his basketball experience. We are very happy to be apart of this team! read more

The Warriors have an excellent basketball program, definitely recommend 100%. if you want to take your son or daughter to the next level in basketball this is the place. Coach Conrad and the rest of the coaching staff really care about the kids and are determined to improver their games both on and off the court. read more

I enrolled my son in Warriors Elite Basketball this past summer and he had a great time. He has always expressed an interest in basketball but after attending the camp his interest has multiplied. Conrad is a really nice and personable guy but he also gets down to business and keeps the kids disciplined and motivated. I am enrolling my son in the program next year and I hope you consider it too! read more

The best league. My son has not only increased his skill and ability. It really worked on his discipline and accountability. It worked on his confidence and is been an overall benifit. He is learning life skills that truly are impactful. If you want success in the sport it's up to parents to consistent and understand the it's not over night but it does make a difference. I am thankful to have found the Warriors. read more

I am one of Conrad's first players on the warriors. I was fourteen years old when I met him. Until that time, I had been playing in park leagues and for the most part I felt overlooked and underdeveloped. When I had my first practice with Conrad, I started to believe that I could get better. I got in amazing shape, I got better at basketball, and I started believing in myself more. This translated into all areas of my life as I got older because Conrad stayed involved as an active participant and really became a brother to me. He is one of the most loyal people I know. I'm now a parent and when my kids are old enough to play for the warriors they absolutely will. read more

Excellent program with great coaches! My son just started and really likes his team.

We started with Conrad less than a year ago. He has brought my son literally to the next level. He brings in guest coaches that specialize in different aspects of the sport. That kind of teaching gives the player a well rounded understanding of the game. Conrad thinks outside of the box. He is always trying to make his teams better and build character within the players. He brings excitement to the team and builds up each player individually. We are truly blessed to have been chosen to play on his team....... Tim read more

Coach Conrad truly cares about and takes care of the players. He has a vast background and knowledge of the sport.

I was looking for a basketball camp to enroll my son in. I'm so blessed I found this one on line. I enrolled my son in the 2 weeks basketball camp. I searched out there and this was the best price. I was a little worried at first because my son was one of the youngest and smallest kid in the camp. I was afraid he would get picked on or the older kids would not be nice to him. My son said that all the older kids were very nice to him. I would even catch the last 30 minutes of camp. I witness myself how these kids were there to cheer each other on. My son stumbled and got hurt and I saw how each kid went up to him and asked him if he was okay. I saw them rub his head as if he was their little brother. Honestly I almost cried. My son is now enrolled with the Warriors. I can see how much self confidence he has now. Conrad has a great program. He teaches discipline on and off the court. You can see it in the kids. He has great communication with us in keeping is in the loop in what our son has improved in and what else he needs to learn. I would highly recommend him. read more

Conrad is honestly the best basketball coach ever!! My two sons were beginners when we signed up. In under a year both of them became amazing players. Conrads program is built around giving confidence to the kids. He encourages them to be better and gives them the support they need. I highly recommend LA Warriors especially if your kid has a passion for the game like mine. read more

Greats coaches!!!! Good place for training and good games. I just get in the club and my son learn a lot of Basketball...

My son has been playing with the Warriors since this past summer and I am extremely impressed with how much he has improved as a player. He still has a way to go as far as skills but he loves being on the team and never wants to miss a practice or game. Coach Conrad has directed my son every step of the way on how to be a better defensive player and tools to be stronger offensively. I appreciate how he points out areas of improvement in real time, on the court, so the players understand what to do next time. Coach Conrad is professional, passionate and works to develop the team as new players are welcomed each season. Let's Go Warriors Elite! read more

I would recommend Los Angeles Warriors to anybody...the coaches are great, they are good with kids and they are young too, my son loves going to classes i finally fou d the right basketball camp for him read more
