Many of Ohana Water Polo Academy graduates also went on to play in college and continue to get together when home on break. Thanks Ohana WPA for teaching my children discipline, loyalty and the benefits of hard work!

Thank you Ohana!

Those old reviews about not answering the phone, true…read more I have already paid my membership, so I am reviewing the provided service thus far. The advertising on Groupon stated this weekend was a great time to visit Oodles. The website is a mess, if that has been changed, maybe the owner has seen the light. I called, I get a voicemail suggesting I e-mail or text for faster response. People have phone anxiety, no grudges there though I would have preferred to speak to a person. I text asking when we can use our groupon, wondering if we need to book in advance for classes or if they're just on a running basis or something. NO AVAILABILITY UNTIL OCTOBER note: there is nearly a week left in July, we bought the groupon last week I respond to the owner that I feel a bit misled because the Groupon title said "Unlimited classes" but the fine print says "capped at 8 classes" like.... just say 8 classes, don't call that unlimited. But, I am especially upset that we cannot use the tickets at all until October and that there is no indicator of that until you spend time trying to call. (note, it took over an hour to answer the texts during work hours) The response I received is, "You may initiate refund with Groupon. We never advertised this ad with Groupon and already have a ticket open with Groupon as they opened up Unauthorized ad without asking our permission. They have discontinued the ads as of last week." I apologize for my contractors' mistakes, but I don't make the customer work to remedy the mistake; it's poor leadership, bad customer service, and makes me very nervous about what experience my children will have in an environment that is supposed to be safe. It is difficult to find good children's places, so we'll be keeping the groupon and maybe we'll see what it is like and adjust the rating and response if it unsullies the experience thus far.

"Mommy, if Mrs. Garvey were to have yelled at me the way she yelled at Sofia, I would have…read morecried..." That is what my daughters classmate said about my FIVE year old daughter. I thought my family and I had put this behind us, but after recently speaking with a parent also going through issues with this school, she mentioned that her daughter said this a couple of days after we left that school. The joy my daughter had when we told her she was going to another school still resonates with me, but knowing the headache, anxiety and stress my 5 years old went through still breaks my heart. I really felt the need and duty as a parent to let people know the experience my family and I had with this school. I know that perhaps other children are having great experiences, but knowing first hand what our child went through is one child too many. No child should be broken down to the point of uncontrollable anxiety and fear towards going to school, and knowing that after we voiced our concerns to administration and other parents are now having similar concerns really makes me feel that they clearly did not listen. Do your due diligence before you commit to a school like this. Perhaps the private school concept at a fraction of the price as compared to other private schools, seems enticing, but as we saw first hand, the emotional and academic well being of a child is not worth it. I really hope something changes within that school.

If you are considering signing your child up for SBD run the other way. I was very optimistic about…read morethis organization. My daughter had begged me to do cheer and I knew someone whose daughter went through SBD and had a positive experience. While there are many things I wasn't happy with, the worst part is how negative and verbally abusive the coaches are to the kids. One mom signed her daughter up to work on her self esteem and her coach told her she was being moved to the back because she wasn't good. Another time, my daughter's coach told them that they did a bad job and everyone in the audience will throw tomatoes at them. My daughter was 5 and didn't want to perform because she thought we were going to throw tomatoes at her. She would cry before every practice. I thought the coaches were just tough and it was hard so I encouraged her to keep going, but eventually through a lot of tears she told me all the mean things her coach would say and that is when we didn't continue. We did do a competition and while the girls had been going for 6 months, they didn't learn their routine until 2 weeks before the competition. It was hard to watch and very irritating. Here we were, coming twice a week totally committed while the coach for their team changed 3 different times and nobody seemed to give our team much time or respect. The coaches for the younger teams are kids themselves. They just don't have all the tools to be able to guide and mold 5-7 year olds and I wouldn't expect them to. Management has it set up this way and never watch a practice or monitor what is happening. They say that they're around and trust these girls, but it's a cop out. I never saw a seasoned older coach just stand a one watch a practice. I did complain about all this and more and was given a very kind and genuine response from one of the head coaches. The issue is that while this coach was nice, the culture of SBD is toxic and broken. After we left, I learned that 3 other families left for the same reason. It's sad because these girls really wanted to do cheer and now want nothing to do with it. Please save yourself the headache and pass on this incredibly unprofessional organization. I sincerely hope they're able to look at themselves and make some major changes.
