Please be aware of paying money upfront to this organization, you will not be refunded. Multiple…read moreteams paid for tournaments last year that were never played...money was never refunded. Magistrate court order was awarded to the plaintiff, wages were attached, and he never paid. I guess when you write your own paycheck you can get away with it. Nothing but a thief...Buyer beware

I made arrangements on the Top Prospects website to rent a batting cage and pitching machine. When…read moreI showed up for my rental there was no one working at the facility, but there were two groups who regularly used cages there, who were likely to have unlocked the building themselves. I emailed the owner Tony to say I was there and there was no one there to help me or set up the equipment. He acknowledged my email and said he didn't know I have never been there before. No employees ever showed up so I left 40 min later. I emailed Tony again and told him I would be leaving and expected a refund. He eventually told me his employee was sick and couldn't come in and that I would be reimbursed. I am now 2 weeks out from this incident and still trying to get a hold of Tony to get my refund from this rental and previous rentals I had to cancel and reschedule online.

I have attended several fundraisers and a few conferences at the P.A.A. and I love the sense of…read morestyle and grandeur from the fireplaces, paintings, chandeliers and tall ceilings. The staff is very attentive, and the food is delicious. Some interesting details include a plaque on the side of the baby grand piano that states the great Byron Janis played here on this lovely old Steinway. On my last visit there were some problems with the heating in the dining room, it was terribly cold and they seemed unable to fix it, however it was extremely hot upstairs. I was surprised, because everything else seemed to be in proper order. There's parking in the back, so don't bother pulling up to the front of the building, enter on Lytton Ave. There's a coat check room in the front, across the registration room. There's a dress code for the dining room, and I believe it is enforced.

Wow. I've been at the Pittsburgh Athletic (PAA) a few times for various business breakfasts, and…read moredinners. It's a private city club, and the place is awesome from the minute you approach the building, which is a copy of a Venitian palace and sits on an entire city block. All cut stone is found in the lobby with high carved, coffered, and frescoed ceilings, paintings, a hugh stone fireplace, and polished brass elevator tambors. If someone invites you in, make sure to look at the main lobby ceiling. It's got carved wooden seals of all of the private men's athletic clubs that existed in the US, when the club opened. The club was founded in 1908, as a large brass plaque says, and on one of them is a list of past presidents, where I recognized a person my high school was named after. Cool. The dining service involves a lot of sterling silver and several forks, and turtle soup with sherry. If you want something not on the menu, they'll make it. It seems that there are always two or three dining areas to eat in, from one requiring coat and tie, to nothing but a jogging suit. My favorite is the Tudor Grill Rm, with it's vaulted molded plaster ceilings, that I'm told was once covered in tooled leather over the moldings. There's a hugh bowling alley, that includes duck pins, a gym with a canted track around the upper level, squash and handball courts, a large fitness center--never had to wait, large steam rooms-the kind in movies where deals are always done, saunas, massages, a barber shop with manicures, and a magnificent marble pool on an upper floor, with a walking track around it. And if you want to have lunch in the locker room, you can order and it is delivered. There are also sleeping rooms if you want to stay overnight, which we did after a late birthday party in one of the private dining rooms they have. There are even people who are full time residents. Like all private clubs there is a dress code (no denim for sure, on 1st floor and lobby), and no cell phones in the dining rooms, but I sort of like that. No one sits at the bar with a cap on. If you have jeans on, then you can eat in a sports bar downstairs off the bowling alleys, which is actually pretty nice. I'm looking into joining in a few months. You just need two sponsors who are members to write letters and say you are a good guy, etc etc. Meantime, I'm waiting for my next invitation to a workout and lunch.

IF you are looking for an AAU hot mess dumpster fire experience for your child, THIS IS IT! Daryn,…read morethe owner, has no shame. Website says games are played at multiple locations all over the Pittsburgh area. They are played in storage facility the owner has. It has some kind of red and blue plastic tile floor that has dead spots everywhere. Another added bonus, after you pay the fee for AAU and 100.00 for a 10.00 Jersey, look forward to paying around 15.00 per person per game to play in the dead spot gym every weekend. KACHING, KACHING for Daryn. Coaching is volunteers, so you know what that means. So what is the overall experience? There is a crap app you are told to download where videos of the games will be, expect no videos. So you look at the app Friday evening and see your child's game is scheduled for 9 AM and the second game is scheduled for 6 PM. Great! Next morning you get up and start to drive to the game and the times have been charnged to 1 PM and 5 PM or you get to the crap floor gym and wait, and wait, and wait. No other team to play until someone rounds up afew kids from other teams that might want to play. Or the team your 15/16U kid is playing against is an 11U team, or and this literally happend, your boys 15/16 year old team is scheduled to play a young girls basketball team. What, did not see that in the website. BSA, come play young girls or young boys. I called Daryn, he tried to double down on it was perfectly fine. I told Daryn, I will talk to him in person at the next game. Daryn doesn't come to the crap gym when he knows there are teams of pissed off parents that he has ripped off. This feels like a scam. Every kid in the BSA program is one and done. There are no repeat kids unless they are related to coaches or Daryn. Ask any school coach, any basketball trainer, any parents in other AAU programs about BSA, to a person they all will tell you to stay away, its a horrible scam and money grab. I learned the hard way.

Overall, so disappointing. If you are new to the process, I highly encourage you to search for…read moreother options. The ONLY thing that matters to leaders of this organization is the money coming in. That's it - if kids aren't matched well, too bad. If kids are in the wrong age group (happens all the time) too bad. If you are not getting your moneys worth from a coaching/mentorship/playing experience too bad. There is no recourse, no one to talk to, no remedy, no nothing. Someone said on this site that it's the puppy mill off AAU leagues and it is. Perfect example
