I love NOR, I really do. My children play MANY sports through the organization. This particular…read morereview is about the tackle football program, lack of communication, and lack of organization. First, we registered our sons in our district under the Oildale Fury. We waited and waited and waited for a call from a coach. Nothing. Finally, two days before practice a coach from another area called and told us that Oildale did not have a team and our son had been placed on their team. No call or communication from NOR at all. If it was a coaching issue, perhaps we would have stepped up and either done it ourselves or changed leagues or asked for a refund. We now have to drive 30 minutes away to practice with a team that is not from our community. Also, during makeup day for helmets and pads we sat out in the 102 degree heat waiting, while two people fitted kids. I could, seriously, plan a much more efficient means of moving kids through. Then, a girl came out and said they had ran out of pads and helmets and they would take our number and call us when they came in. My son had already been at practice, not being able to practice because of a lack of pads, I was not going to wait another week for them to get pads in. I stayed in line, and low and behold there were enough pads and helmets for both of my sons. It was completely unorganized. They didn't give either of my sons chin straps for their helmets. This makes playing both dangerous and impossible, as they cannot play without a chinstrap. My husband and I have put out $700.00 in sports fees and "required equipment" that is not provided by NOR. This seems like a lot for a "recreational" football program. I would be fine with that if I felt they had a smoothly running program, but they do not.

Belle was outstanding! I would absolutely book with them again. A magical and stress free…read moreexperience. Belle was on time and arrived in character. The children were entranced and she gracefully found a good place to start entertaining. She told a story and sang. They did some dancing. She effortlessly captivated them and was also flexible with their interjecting. She made the birthday girl feel special while also involving all the kids. When we stopped to do cake, she switched to a magic show which was a good fit for the kids being seated and eating. She ended with photos. My daughter loved it and all the parents were impressed and wanted to know the company. The website and booking process was clear and easy. They were very communicative leading up to and on the day of the event.

Elsa was fantastic and engaging the entire time. My daughter was fixated on Elsa from start to end…read more I don't think she left Elsa's side for the whole party. We really appreciated Elsa's energy, clear singing voice, and focus on keeping the crowd that gathered around her entertained. She didn't break character at all and was very professional all around. She had a lot of tricks up her sleeve and activities to do with the kids. Several guests commented on how great Elsa was. We will definitely be booking with your company again in the future. Thank you Ali and Elsa!
