PSA Murphy

If you want your kid to love sports, run away from this place !!!
We enrolled our kid in soccer in September.
First, I had to go there 3 times to know if there was still some spots available and to be able to enroll him.
Then, while the games are on Saturday, the practices are on… Sunday !!! Where is the logic in all that? (except, certainly that it arranges the coach…)
Games have been cancelled several times, without any reason given, as well as the practices.
And at last, the cherry on the top of the cake, we got the right to a coach with no patience at all, no pedagogy at all, and definitely, with 5 yrs old, it doesn’t work… too bad for us !
So, yes, this is cheap, and this is the only positive thing of this whole experience :-(
JUST STAY AWAY !!!

After reading all the dissatisfied parents, and reviews on other sites. I have decided to provide my most recent letter sent to PSA. Dear Psa,
I have overall been exceedingly happy with the services at your facilities. However, while observing basketball games, I have noticed despicable behavior exhibited by the coaches. Being a mother of 4 and an avid basketball fan I know good defense and obvious over exertion of physical force. Lately I’ve been noticing an increasing approval from coaches to promote aggression however this leaves the interpretation to the children to understand their meaning of aggression. Therefore the coaches promotion and approval of kids being aggressive on the court leads to extreme violence. I find it extremely irritating hearing the over zealous coaches scream to ten year old players «put your elbows out» «get tough» «get mean» «trap him» «push him out». Therefore I find it in the best interest of all parents who enroll their child in your programs to write this email to you. I fully understand the waiver I sign and in no means attend to break it. My purpose is to draw attention to the matter. A prime example would be today, Saturday (5÷16÷15), my son was injured due to aggression by #32 on the team «Team First». I don’t assume that he meant to purposely hurt him. However the aggression presented by the player was identical to what the coach was promoting. I find that the injury was caused by support of extreme aggression shown in the coach. Throughout the game extreme aggression from their team seemed to be pleasing to the coach, he often greeted the sight of over aggression with hand clapping, cheering and jumping. I understand basketball and the way of the game. However, I don’t understand the need of extreme aggression found in 5^th grade basketball games. Please take everything I’ve written to heart and expand on the problem I presented.
Sincerely,

First year ever playing our kids In this league and it will be the last. Heard bad things but decided to try ourselves… gym is extremely warm every game. Refs are terrible, they do not call consistent two way games EVER. Not good for teaching kids the rules of basketball due to the lack of inconsistencies across the board. Team we are on has less players than any other team we have played so they obviously play favorites with coaches or do not have enough kids to equal divide teams. Allow for parents to scream and yell at refs. Very unprofessional league!

Great facility and close to home. Our son has played in the basketball league here and really enjoys it. It has a snack bar in case you don’t have time to stop for water or snacks.
