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.

If your player is good, they will make them great. If your player is mediocre they will make them good. For a player to be great they need it to be within. There is no magic wand here.

The staff goes over your eye orientation (whether right or left-eye dominant), provides you with an archery arm guard, and goes over the safety rules. They had multiple instructors who helped you orient yourself and your bow and arrows to shoot at the target. It felt like many directions, but as you go more rounds, your body and brain start to retain the information. I cheered when I finally hit the target! My only goal for the day, besides getting out of bed, was to hit the target! Maybe I didn't hit dead center, but an arrow (and even more arrows) made it onto the target! Yay! There is no good cell phone reception at the range where the public course is held, so if you're meeting anyone, try to make sure you decide where to meet beforehand. There is free parking on Saturday from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. through a fence to your left, a little from when you enter the park. The public session costs $5, and you must sign a waiver. Bring cash, as, once again, you will probably have no cell service. Thank you to Kevin and the other instructors and staff who helped me patiently. I couldn't believe how quickly the two hours flew by. Everything was well-organized, and this is such an amazing weekly event that Conejo Valley Archers hosts. Thank you again!

It was our first time…read moregoing here and we were confused as to where to go, but when we found a few targets and were then pointed out for us to follow this path to a different set of targets where everyone else was. Once we got there we immediately got told NOT to follow that path as it's very dangerous and "like walking through an active gun field". We were then directed to "go talk to a guy in the blue shirt" but as we are walking to him another man stops us and tells us to go into the trailer. Okay fine- then as we're walking to the trailer we are stopped yet again and told to go talk to a man in a brown shirt now! Fine. As we're walking the other guy is yelling "go to the trailer" omfg so we turn back towards the trailer and then again "No the guy in the brown shirt" ...... at this point i'm wondering what happened to the guy in the blue shirt that i allegedly needed to talk to. Anyways, I digress. So we get to the guy in the brown shirt to sign our waivers and he says that it's actually too late to sign the waivers because it was 10:25 and they stopped doing the waivers at 10:15 First of all, why couldn't anyone tell us that EARLIER and second of all, the website has no indication of this rule. Also the signage is terrible and if the path that we were sent down is so dangerous, why were we even able to go there?? There should be signs and closed gates not an inviting path that people are sent to go down and then get yelled at. Also I don't understand how everyone working there is so out of the loop with each other.

Judo/gymnastics area is very well ventilated, the fans do make it difficult to hear but minor trade off. It's so well ventilated that kids don't get hot when they run. I also appreciate how special it is to have this Simi Valley Judo Club. It is one big class, so lots of opportunity for mixed age and mixed gender interactions. Often there are parent and kids enrolled at the same time. The cost is low, and duration is 1.5 hours twice weekly, so it doesn't hit the purse as hard if you need to miss a few lessons or join late. No makeups, which are time consuming for parents anyway. Newcomers can often progress quickly through the ranks due to the 3 hour per week duration (no belt testing and no additional fees). New ranks are awarded by Sensei based on observation of their behavior and their application of techniques at the daily randori. Randori is limited to the last 15 minutes of class, everyone sits and observes as 2 kids are called up to spar. So glad we returned.
