Worst club we've ever joined--by far. Completely inconsistent across the board. The kids and…read morecoaches are intimidated and have felt bullied by the director, Mo. They end up quitting!! Communication is basically nonexistent, and the coaching situation is a mess--we don't even have a coach, and weren't told until after we paid. Everything runs "Mo's way or no way." Coaches seem to have little autonomy, and there's constant turnover--definitely ask around before committing. Also, if you're considering MLS Next, expect to pay an additional $1K on top of club fees. This wasn't disclosed upfront and only came up after we were pressured to sign within 48 hours. Would not recommend.

Hi Lamorinda Soccer Club,…read more I registered my child on November 9 but immediately requested a cancellation and refund after seeing the schedule didn't work for us. I've emailed six times and tried calling with no response. I have limited funds for kids' sports and need to register my son for something else, but I'm stuck waiting on your reply. Can someone please assist me? Thank You, Travis

8 year old birthday party venue review…read more My son went to a birthday party here and I hung around while he played with friends. The space is a pretty bare boned gym facility. The kids had an area where 2 high school coaches led a sort of "obstacle course" relay and there was a room where they kicked soccer goals at a screen and collected points. They had a table set up and pizza delivered. All in all, it was pretty bare bones. The kids had fun, but all in, pretty basic. The did have about 10 boys, so it was at a group capacity, seemingly. From pics, potentially more engaging activities like batting, with maybe less kids? Overall, I'm not quite sure how much it cost, but it was solid. I wouldn't book for my kid who is more active and athletic than what was provided and felt a bit bored, but it could be more fun for those not as into sports but still wanting an active bday party venue indoors. To note: it was a cold day outside and super cold inside.

Are you young, new to the city, and like meeting new people?…read more Then WAKA Kickball is for you! I've been playing for 5 years now. There are several days you can play, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Sunday. Each Day of the week has a different vibe and level of competition. I mainly play on Sundays which is a little less competitive than other days. And it gives me enough time to recover. After the games we head to our sponsor bar to hang out, drink, and play flip cup. There are usually 2-3 parties that happen every season as well. I've made some of my best friends playing kickball. You should too!

Really fun and really great way to meet new people in a new city (or when you want to make new…read morefriends in the city you've lived in for awhile). Every league is different, so it's worth trying a few if you don't like the first one you are in. The kickball is fun but it works really well when paired with the drinking games after. The most important thing is to find a league where the post-game bar is on a night where you can afford to drink and is easy to get home from (i.e. no driving necessary). A good post-game means it doesn't matter whether you are on a team that loses every game. There is a mix of players and some have played for a few years and understand the strategies and have experience, while others are just starting out. Signing up as a free agent is pretty random, so you can get placed on a completely new team or as filling out an established squad. Most people are generally friendly and welcoming (beer does that to you).

It teaches them to be a team player and to also take the lead if the ball falls in their court. My son has never really looked forward to any sports aside from Flag Football and gymnastics. So when he found out it was time to register, he was elated. He started off playing tackle at age 5 and he didn't like it at all. I made him play. His coach then and now is Coach Kevin. I am super elated we still have a bond from years back. Octavian trusts him in the game as they have that initial connection. I was team Mom for the Alameda Pirates circa 2013. Zaiah, my daughter is super elated she can still play. She loves to follow in her brothers footsteps all the while maintaining her own identity here and in gymnastics. I like the fact that they bond friendships with their teammates. Looking forward to another season of fun.

Inside Trail Racing is a AWESOME!!!!…read more I only volunteer with them but my boyfriend runs a few different distances with this race. He says that the aid stations are well stocked and have great volunteers there to help you if you need it. The trails are marked well and he hasn't gotten lost on the trails compared to other races he's done. My perspective as a volunteer is that all the runners seem to have a good time and the volunteers are fun. Some of them will work either before or after they race. There is still volunteers there till the end to cheer on that last runner in. Since there is usually around 400 racers it has that family feel. You see some repeat racers/volunteers and new comers which is great. The race director "Tim" is wonderful and will work with you either as a volunteer or if you need to get registered last minute he can squeeze you in. Great prizes for the winners and the t-shirts are "tech" shirts which most people enjoy! If you haven't done his race yet, you should come check them out

I mainly went for the pool, and I also used the steam room, sauna, cold plunge, and hot tub downstairs. Everything was clean and felt really nice. But honestly, the policies were a big downside. For example, we could sign up, but if we wanted other people to join under the same plan to save money, they had to be under 18, which just doesn't make sense. The guest policy was the biggest issue for me. You can bring a guest, but it has to be a different person every time. I'm paying around $330 a month, so it would be reasonable to at least bring my spouse once in a while, even just once a month. Not being able to bring the same person is really restrictive and doesn't feel practical. Overall, the club itself is great, but these policies are too strict, and that's why I decided not to sign up.
