The instructors made the boys feel extremely comfortable and confident. By the second lesson the instructors decided to take them out into the deeper water and challenge them more. I really appreciated that. Also, communication with setting up appointments was very prompt and thorough. LTR provides everything for the lesson. They have a great selection of boards and wetsuits.

We parents were quite impressed with their overall program, which we saw in action. At one point, I observed the intermediate group of youth at a camp/session that John was coaching picking up trash on the beach during a break. They clearly know not only how to cultivate community, but also how to care for it and the environment. Bravo! My sons can't wait to get back in the water tomorrow and give surfing another go! Thank you!

Truly a haunting time that I wish I had never been exposed to…read more A promise of growing all dashed in favor of the counselors getting to hook up with each other. That's truly what was valued here. Certainly not the campers and their attempts to better themselves. They're just obstacles in the way to hook ups according to this camp. And the casual cruelty. The yelling and the counselors allowing campers to turn on the weakest of them. You know my counselor actually joined in and cracked a joke about one of the campers touching themselves. You know there are actually nice and supportive places out there? Places where your kid can grow into a happier, more confident and nurturing person? Places where your kid can know support instead of having the facade of it crushed in front of their eyes, leaving them cynical, distrustful and with less hope of finding somewhere supportive? Well if you want your kid to grow even more jaded and feel like all promises of help growing are secretly a cruel lie, then boy do I know where you should send them! I really wish that I had never gone here.

He even took his time to remember everyone's name, which says a lot. He was very encouraging and helpful.

Trust me!

Anna is absolutely amazing! Our son has been coming here for a couple of months now, and has been…read moreworking on his interpersonal and social skills through the PEERS program, as well as continuing that training in the less formal LEGO club. Each program is designed to aid children who need assistance in developing and growing their social skills, and our son has been making leaps and bounds since starting here! Our son has Asperger's syndrome, and Anna has been wonderful in working with him. We did all of our homework, and her credentials all check out (which is something that we always do before working with a service provider.) Both of our boys come for LEGO club, and both of them look forward to it each week, even though we get up fairly early each Saturday to get there. LEGO club proved to be an excellent starting point for the boys, and allowed them to really grow comfortable in the setting before we got the PEERS program set up for our eldest. Now, to the details: the facility is absolutely beautiful. Build inside a dual use location in Carlsbad, the downstairs is set up for the program. Tastefully decorated, it is fun, light, and airy, with plenty of slightly subdued colors that look delightful without being overwhelming. There are plenty of toys, and the collection of LEGO's is constantly expanding. There is a good mix of special needs and typical children, which allows for real interactions that are all supervised and directed by Anna and her staff. Everyone is incredibly friendly, welcoming, and accepting. We truly could not be happier! Would I recommend her to family and friends? Absolutely, and have already gone out of my way to do so. If you have a child that is struggling with social interactions, if you have a child who needs a boost, if you have a child who just doesn't quite get it, this is the place to go. We have already seen honest-to-goodness measurable improvements (which as an aside is something that is also done through the PEERS program.) In summary, this program is excellent and Anna makes it all seem so easy. And, if I'm honest, I've probably picked up a pointer or two for applying in my own life as well.

When Sam came up finally to us at 12:15 she stated that they do not serve after 15 minutes and went back to her booth. Tonya declined us to attend following 1pm group orientation, so they could charge my credit card for 'missed' appointment.

My 8 year old loves baseball and wants to play so bad, but we can't commit to the 4 day practice/game commitment of Little League, and it's hard to find any other baseball programs around this area for elementary aged kids. My 8 year old was a little old for the 5-7 program, but Coach allowed him to still participate since there were other 7 year olds in it. He had such a great time! It was a very positive environment, Coach gave good tips to improve technique, and his assistant coaches were kind and talented; I think they were high school kids who play on teams. It's always great to see older kids investing time in the younger generation. I highly recommend this program!

We first heard about Phoenix Sports through my daughter's school enrichment program and are so glad…read morewe did. From the very beginning, our experience has been amazing. I spoke with Coach Donald Duck (Doug), and he was incredibly kind and willing to come out to our neighborhood to host a class. Unlike other programs we have tried that required a minimum number of participants, Coach Doug's main focus was simply teaching and coaching the kids. His passion really shines through. He is wonderful with the children. He is friendly, kind, and even a little silly to keep them engaged, while still having the right balance of discipline. He teaches the kids to listen, follow directions, and be kind to one another. Best of all, he actually teaches them real skills for the sport. It is not just running around. He designs fun games that incorporate the skills they are learning, which keeps the kids excited and motivated. Overall, Phoenix Sports has been such a positive experience for our family. We are definitely planning to continue with them and cannot wait to try out the other sports they offer.
