Stream Valley Volleyball was a complete disappointment from start to finish. There was zero…read moreconsistency, zero communication, and zero structure. Coaches rotated constantly, players were shuffled around, and no one ever seemed to know what was happening from week to week. They claim to prepare kids for competitive play, but it was the exact opposite. Instead of developing athletes, they left them confused, unsupported, and unmotivated -- no feedback, no progress, and no real coaching. The final straw was being offered a team spot, only for them to later decide my daughter "wasn't ready for the competitive environment." That's not a reflection on her -- it's a direct result of their disorganization and lack of coaching consistency. My daughter went on to make another competitive team with no issue whatsoever. Stream Valley desperately needs to fix its communication, structure, and accountability before calling itself "competitive."

My daughter was bounced between multiple coaches, each running things differently with no structure or progression. Every week was the same beginner drills and no gameplay practice. By week eight, she barely knew the court zones and still had no idea about positions or their roles. Communication was awful, and players who were ready to advance were held back. Coach Alex and Coach David did their best when they were finally brought in, but it was too little, too late. Save your money and find a program that actually teaches volleyball.

I was in need of a gym and having a pool was one of the requirements so that limited the options in…read morethe area for me that wasn't a 20 minute+ drive way so I decided to check out Equinox first and ended up really liking the vibe. The classes feel like studio classes (like barre or spin, etc.) that you'd be paying almost $200/month for without any amenities or regular gym equipment. I've been to other gyms in the past that had a lot of hm, lets just call it people watching and social hour. Folks here are definitely here to workout, do their own thing and friendly. Definitely a no judgement zone. I also had some hesitations based on other reviews about not being able to freeze or cancel membership within the first year especially if you have an injury and what not but decided to go for it anyway despite that, more on that later. Some other other gyms didn't seem to be any better based on those reviews so it probably would've been similar issues elsewhere anyway. When you initial sign up, they give you some comp sessions with a trainer (to obviously sell you personal training) but it's something I wanted to try anyway. I thought, why not, let's give it a go for a few months since I thought it would be good to get an extra boost and back into a routine. Well, a few months had passed and then I had some travel plans so I was away from the gym but then came back from my travels with a severe knee injury where I could barely walk. It sucked but I showed up anyway. Not because I couldn't cancel my membership due to the contract terms but because I needed movement for rehab. I was initially hesitant about returning to training because I felt like I wouldn't be training at 100%. And let's be real, the training sessions aren't cheap. After some discussion with physical therapist for a rehab plan, I decided to return to training with Summer and it was honestly one of the best decisions I've made. Summer programed exercises for me to supplement my PT. She has been really awesome to work with, because my program needed a lot of re-working along the way to adapt to my rehab progress. She's also open to feedback and really great with listening to my input on things that I want to work on. While I am still ways away from being 100% recovered from my knee injury, I already feel like it's night and day compared to just a few months ago. So why only 4 stars? Well, only taking one off is quite generous despite some issues with their app, specifically for training and the so-so amenities in the locker room. The app isn't the best and there were some miscommunications with it that led to a lot of frustration but the training manager Matt was really nice and made it right. The other reason for taking off the star was the amenities which they finally changed to something that smells way better. The previous products didn't smell good and it seemed like the shampoo, body wash, and face cleanser seemed like it was all the same soap in the shower. Didn't feel like there is anything different between the stuff in the bottles. It wouldn't even upset me that there was just one multipurpose wash but the same soap in the different bottles is just confusing for me. Like what's the point? Anyway, good riddance with the old stuff. I haven't tried the new stuff yet aside from the lotion that smells heavenly. I haven't been to the other locations to compare but this one is sufficient for my needs.

He'll say all the right things to get you to sign up and then you realize it's all just hot air and broken promises. New kids are constantly brought on to the team well after the deadline, presumably for less money than you paid. That is not verified but I don't see why kids would pay the high season fee if joining 2 months into the season. He recruits the best players he can possibly convince to play for him -- which is fine if it wasn't such a revolving door. Adding kids every week means there's no stability or chemistry. During the games, it's just street ball without any sets. Every kid for himself. One reason to join AAU is to get games that are a cut above runs at the park. Not here. If you're at all tempted, I'd watch a game before you join to see how he coaches. It's all about him. Classic narcissist -- gets in the kids faces berating them with spittle spraying out. Then he'll sparingly throw in a compliment to keep his hooks in. And the feedback isn't even useful. It's all about him. "Don't sit on the bench like that. You look lazy." If you're looking for all the downsides of Bobby Knight, without any of the upside, this might be your team. Otherwise, you can do much better with any other AAU team in the area, even if it means a commute. Keep in mind you'll often be driving to practice in Hayward - playing in tournaments all over - so don't let proximity to the listed address be a factor in joining.

Tony and Lou have it down to a science.......every single minute of every single session is instructive, productive, positive and motivating. They not only teach skill development and conditioning, but also emphasize respect (for self & others), responsibility and the importance of academics. Total player development......I couldn't ask for more. And my child LOVES going because she actually sees and feels herself improving. Recommended for ANY child, 5yrs. through college.......sessions for all grade levels. (Especially good for high school kids trying to make a team, or hoping to play in college.)

The class always starts with a quick session talking to kids, showing that they actually care about each child and makes the kids feel special. The drills are highly effective and I can see the actual moves my son has learned being used at game time. He came off the court so excited and proud to tell me "what Coach Mike told me, worked!" His confidence and love for the sport is growing with each class! I can not thank Tony and all the Triple Threat coaches enough for what they have given my son. We now take classes year round and we cant wait to see how he takes what he has learned at Triple Threat to the court, in the upcoming basketball season! Also wanted to mention how fairly priced the programs are especially given the level of skill the coaches bring. Often in other programs we have taken the teachers have no real experience in the field but were just taught to run that class. At Triple Threat the coaches are actual basketball players and coaches themselves and this difference is immense. The quality program you will receive is immeasurable. Have know doubt that your child will develop their skills in a positive and motivating environment.

It's clean, easy, and works well for group gatherings. Only downside is the restrooms were available but not very clean, and parking can get a bit tight. Overall, a reliable spot for things like birthday parties without feeling chaotic.

I've rented the picnic tables under the shade with the bbq pit near the playground when we have our Family get togethers. It's best to rent the picnic tables during the summer time so that you have that spot reserved for you and your guests. If someone tries to take your spot you just show them your permit and reservation for that spot and they have to leave. It was funny watching kids making the big slide into a water slide they were all lined up passing the bucket of waters to pour down the slide. We always have playdates here the kids love it.

Before we discovered DUBs, he had a deep passion for the game but lacked consistency and direction. Since training with Coach Bashir, he's experienced tremendous growth - not just in terms of skill development, but also in his understanding of the game, his mindset and the way he carries himself both on and off the court. He's become more focused, disciplined and confident. That's entirely thanks to Coach Bashir's incredible coaching approach. As a parent, I truly appreciate the high level of professionalism within the program. Communication is consistently clear, practices are well-structured and every coach genuinely cares about the growth and development of each player. The program stands out for its strong basketball expertise and the way concepts are broken down clearly, helping players stay both motivated and involved. My son's love for the game has only grown stronger and his skills have advanced significantly - all thanks to the amazing coaching and the supportive, well-run environment created by the entire DUBs team. This program is a must for any young athlete - I fully recommend it.
