The most unorganized group I have ever been associated with.
My kids have been in cheer here for 5 years. The past 3 years have been mizerable! I only came back because I liked the head coach of the Jr Pee Wee team. However, this year she has brought in other coaches who are rude, they speak to the girls with disrespect, and make them cry at least once a week! The entire team is punished for the behavior of a few.
The girls never get their uniforms in time for games, and the ones they do get are used, from previous years, the wrong sizes, and incomplete. The boys got ALL NEW equipment last year and the girls had to wear uniforms from 15 years ago. I'm not exaggerating.
It is already mid October and the girls still don't have their uniforms. They have parts, but not all. The parts they have are the wrong sizes.
These girls were a first place team last year. They won THREE first places in competitions and they are still dressed like a bunch of rag tag orphans. We paid $350.00 for their uniforms and we won't have them until AFTER their second competition this year. This organization is an embarrassment. My children will NOT be coming back next year.
Most of the coaches are dedicated and the parents are trying hard to make it a good place for the kids to be, but the organization of the cheer portion is horrible.
The field they practice in is full of holes, there are over 3 homeless camps ON SITE! The kids are frequently confronted in the bathrooms and in the field by drunken high homeless people. I never leave my kids there without me. The coaches can't keep all the kids safe.
If you are considering putting your kids into Pop Warner cheer, it is a great association, but the Sunnyvale group is the worst.
We will be moving to another city next year! First place team or not, it's not worth the stress, frustration, the treatment of the kids and parents. The environment is unsafe and I am afraid to leave my children unattended. read more
