RSP is a wonderful program that helps promising young players take the next step through a combination of private lessons, group training, and league play. Reyaan had a lot of fun and made tremendous progress in his table tennis skills throughout the program. What stands out the most to me is the growth in his confidence. He is now much more comfortable and confident when playing matches against other kids, and that has been amazing to see as a parent. A big thank you to all the coaches for creating such a supportive and encouraging environment. Reyaan is very grateful for everything he has learned and experienced through RSP, and he's already looking forward to what comes next. Highly recommended for young players who want to improve their game and gain valuable match experience!

This review is beyond late. Sorry for the length of this review, there are simply too many…read morewonderful things about Energy and I wanted to share in detail for those trying to navigate proper basketball training for their daughter in the San Bruno, Millbrae, Burlingame, Hillsborough, San Mateo, San Carlos, Belmont & surrounding cities. It is hard to describe the "energy" the coaches bring to this team of girls. Coach Dave, founder of Energy, is the heart & soul of this wonderful organization. His coaching staff and everyone who knows him raves about his character and work ethic. He's the type of person who will go out of his way to help those around him, even if his own plate is overflowing. Energy basketball is an all girls training league for 3rd-12th grade. The grades are split up 3rd-5th & 6th-12th. We call the 3rd-5th group the "younger side". The coaches are split up strategically to help balance the energy & needs on the different sides. The coaches on the younger side are a bit more gentle and they encourage the girls softly (but still with just the right amount of toughness) because 3rd grade is young and the fun aspect still needs to be very much present for them to be engaged. Then, you have the coaches on the "older side" (6th-12th), like Coach Brittany, Coach Sam, & Coach Anthony who are perfect for the older, more experienced girls who take the game a bit more seriously. However, don't get me wrong.. there are definitely younger players who take training seriously and sail past their peers with regards to skills and talent. The coaches at Energy see this potential and determination in players and will move girls up, as needed, to ensure they are always "training up" & being challenged appropriately. My daughters have been training with Energy basketball for a little over a year. Both of them went from not enjoying basketball to looking forward to their bi-weekly training sessions with Energy. Each training session starts with a quick dynamic warm up where the girls will chat with a friend while going back and forth on the court to stretch, in order to prevent injury & to help the girls get ready for training. Next, they run different drills & work on skills, ball handling, etc. throughout the season and end each session with a scrimmage. The last thing they do is gather in a circle and award one player on the younger side, one player on the older side, and a coach as the night's "Energy giver", the person who radiated positive energy towards themselves and others by giving high fives or saying encouraging things. Energy basketball has a motto: Attitude & Effort (being two things you can control on the court) There is a ridiculously fantastic coach to player ratio. There are some nights where there are 4 players per coach. The girls get a ton of individual attention which is great for their development because coaches are able to correct things on the spot or add a layer of difficulty for a particular player who seems to have mastered the current drill. If a player is really struggling to keep up or learn something, a coach will pull that one player aside and teach them separately turning the group session into a 1:1. The icing on the cake: Energy trains at Crystal in Belmont & Hillsborough. Both locations are clean, brightly lit, with bathrooms nearby, seating for parents to stay and watch, and my son's favorite part is that he never has to clean his shoes at the Hillsborough location because the court is simply that clean. One of my personal favorite things about Energy is they always play music. Statistics have shown music will push a player beyond their usual limits by giving them a boost in energy, pun intended. Doesn't hurt that I like their music selection and chosen level, not too loud but just loud enough. Another really amazing thing is that I've never seen a coach on their phone unless they are at the bench purposefully taking a break from interacting with kids. Unlike the summer camp with Warriors, Esface, or the casual games through Next Level. I've seen coaches eating while reffing and being on their phone within a span of 10 minutes with Next Level at Hillsdale high school. The director of the Capuchino all girls location is actually quite good and I would recommend that location to girls. Parents of girls: It's always nice to have girls train with boys because boys are (usually) naturally stronger, bigger & faster so they will be training up. However, our girls barely get touches on the ball during scrimmages so it's wonderful to have this all girl league where they are guaranteed tons of touches as well as constantly training up. To be fair, Energy is not for everyone. My daughter has a few friends who did not enjoy it because they are super competitive and want to play as many games as possible. Energy recently added Saturday recreational games for players so they get to play in a game, in addition to the scrimmages during training sessions.

I loved my time as a player on Energy. When I began playing for Energy, it was the club's first…read moreyear as a team. I was an incoming senior at Burlingame High School and I wanted to be ready to play at a varsity level for my high school. At this time, I had been struggling with confidence in my basketball skills and I wanted to feel prepared for the incoming season. The coaching staff was a prominent influence towards the increase of my self-confidence. They worked tirelessly to adjust to each player when it came time to help them improve as a player. I personally felt they had a great balance between looking at the team as a whole and as individuals. They recognized I needed training in my ball handling and point guard skills in order to better contribute to the team and take advantage of my strengths. Not only did the welcoming and motivating environment push me to be a better player but the drills pushed my abilities to a point where I began to exponentially grow as a player. Coach Dave, Coach Jeremey, Coach Laura, and Coach Anthony complement each other and fill in what the other coaches lack, which creates a very diverse and successful coaching staff. They also created a team that was genuinely bonded through not only basketball but school and life, which helped create a team comradery. Lastly, I was very grateful for how they understood that I had school work, college applications, and other extracurriculars such as volunteering to do next to Energy. They helped me feel I was capable of balancing all the aspects of my life along with Energy. I recommend Energy to basketball players that want to refine or build their fundamental basketball skills along with having a motivating yet challenging coaching staff to help them along the way. The team is fairly new so it is still working on building its reputation in the AAU community. Besides being new, Energy has so much potential to be a successful club team

Over the years, I've seen firsthand how intentional and thoughtful the coaches are in how they engage with the players. This isn't a program where things are handed to you--players are expected to work hard and push themselves to reach their full potential. What I value most is the program's core mission: to build character and maximize athletic potential through high-level training, a supportive community, and a culture that inspires growth. I truly believe Team Esface lives this mission--not just in words, but through consistent action. At its heart, Team Esface is all about player development. Just my two cents: There are a lot of AAU teams in the Bay Area. When choosing one, take a close look at how they develop players and whether their mission aligns with how you want your child to be coached and mentored.

I recently had a terrible experience at this facility with my daughter. After reading similar…read morereviews, I realize this was not an isolated incident. My daughter has attended several classes here, and she has complained to me about the constant switching of coaches, which has made her feel uncomfortable. At her age, she wants to have some familiarity with her coach and build a relationship with them. Completely understandable. The coaches appear to be young, with some being attentive while others seem disengaged, even using their phones during her class. This is understandable to some degree with teenage coaches, but the lack of proper management is alarming. Initially, I wasn't sure who the manager was, and when I asked to speak to one, I was told she was unavailable, handling something in the office. I politely waited, but after about 20 minutes, she never came out, so I had to leave. I was given the manager's name, Charisse, but she appeared to be laughing and joking with others while I was waiting, making no effort to address my concerns and come out to speak with me. The worst and most unprofessional part was during my next (and last) visit, when I made a point to speak with the manager, Charisse. She demanded I speak with her outside, for reasons unknown (maybe to avoid being in front of other parents). She was incredibly rude and unprofessional, refusing to listen to the concerns my daughter had the courage to bring up. Instead, she mocked me and belittled my daughter's skillset, claiming that if she didn't like the coaching changes, she should look elsewhere because they didn't need our business. I was shocked by this situation. I strongly urge all parents to reconsider entrusting their children to this poorly managed establishment. As Charisse advised, please look elsewhere - this organization does not need YOUR business. (This happened a while ago but held off on posting a review in hopes of improvement.) I also know of a ton of families who have switched gyms for similar situations. Management needs to address the unprofessionalism of this manager and begin to have a more routine coaching schedule for the gymnasts to feel comfortable.
