Bamboozled: we were desperate for our daughter to be part of a travel team since her high school is very competitive and she needed constant play time. I “believed” I was so lucky that Keith was willing to place our daughter as full time libero on his 16s team. Season cost around $3800. Practices were always cancelled. He would arrive late to tournaments. The girls didn’t even have balls to warm up with. The other teams would let us borrow them. He even left mid game one tournament because he was frustrated with the way they were playing. How about you actually coach them and have practice available?! The REFS would have to help with rotations! For a while practice was with locals because there was no coaching. This is supposed to be a 16s 1s travel team. This last weekend they were supposed to have a 2 day tournament in Anaheim, SCVA championships. We get a message saying he has made an executive decision to end the season early and has canceled the last two tournaments, including the big tournament which is the summer soirée. Come to find out, after someone investigated, he NEVER signed the team up. Which means he just pocketed that money! We asked for a refund since he decided the team was no longer going to have practices or games. He offered to move our daughter up to the 18s team. My husband wrote back declining. Keith proceeded to blame the girls. BEWARE!!! Keith only cares about filling his pocket. He will not take responsibility for his lack of professionalism and wants to call himself a coach. There was a lot of potential on this team, but he did not put any effort into them. His priority was the 18s team since his daughter is a part of it. I was warned but I never thought someone would be that greedy and lack integrity. Do yourself a favor and just pay for privates from other clubs, it’s not worth the risk and you are just wasting your money.
1st time here. Coach Keith is great, he encourages the girls to keep trying. He's helped my oldest daughter learn to serve better & helped with her foot work. My younger daughter is still getting a feel for it & is learning. Each week she gets better just like her big sister. Keith has taken time to work with each girl. Volleyball for 2 girls can be a bit much, so we do appreciate his league teams as it’s more budget friendly for us. Thank you Coach, both my girls are having fun & learning & can’t wait to return.
I wouldn’t let my daughter be coached by Keith. This guy should NOT be trusted around young women.
First off, I wish I could leave 0 stars, as that is how I feel about this league. I have a daughter who wanted to play, and from the beginning, it went well, I felt hopeful, my daughter was excited and I know she has great potential and talent to be on a team. I will say, the first time I spoke with Keith (league manager) he wasn't very welcoming, he was more straight forward and gave me dates as to when try outs would be for girls in my daughters age. The one thing about this league that was absolutely off putting and unprofessional, the coaches and staff were NEVER early or on time for the most part. There would be "clinic" which is practice, on Sundays and when we'd get there, there at 11:00am, some of the coaches would show up 5-10 minutes late, court or net was not set up. I am a firm believer that time is money. Second time we came to clinic, we were informed my daughter was not supposed to come on Sunday's, when Keith informed me that was part of practice for her age. There was no communication what so ever, that was strike 2 for me. Strike 3 came for me when we , again, showed up for clinic again on Sunday , mind you, Keith informed me and my daughter that she would soon be on a team and that she made the cut, but it was never communicated when , so we kept showing up to clinic on Wednesday and Sundays. We had already been with this league for about 3 weeks, and we had paid $299 already , which I was informed would cover practices and uniform. The last day I brought my daughter to clinic, I reached out to Keith via text because I was hearing there was going to be a tournament the end of the month, considering we were about 2 weeks away. I grew impatient, here I am thinking, she needs to build chemistry with her team and no one in this league, team managers, nor coaches has informed me which team she will be on. So of course , I respectfully expressed my frustration and concerns to the coach and this is what I got.... (attached pictures) I was very taken back and couldn't have been more disgusted. NOT A GOOD PLACE TO GO TO
My daughter was a part of this non-travel program & one club season. When I say do yourself a favor & stay far away I say it based off experience. The owner Keith likes to push that he has been the longest volleyball program in the Inland Empire, however no one stays. Ask him what his return rate is. My child started in clinics, moved into non-travel then participated in one club season. I also was a part of his staff. Myself, along with four other moms helped run the entire program. When I volunteered to help, it was because I too was becoming frustrated, along with all the other parents on the bleachers. Communication was horrendous, Practices were constantly being cancelled last minute, “tournaments” for his non travel program were a joke, & there was no organization. I thought I could help make the program better, because my child would benefit from it as well. I helped with making all the literature for the program (flyers, calendars, sign in sheets, ) & also helped with signing players in and speaking with families . I tried to arrange team bondings for the players (skating rink, beach bonfire) also helped organize fundraisers (serve-a-thon, Super Bowl squares) & holiday get togethers. I genuinely had high hopes for what the program could be, but learned from the very the beginning things would not change. Anytime we addressed issues from parents he didn’t care, he got annoyed. He would complain about parents complaining. He constantly kept saying how he was the cheapest program in the Inland Empire & they could go somewhere else. He didn’t value parent input even though without them, he wouldn’t have a club. We pushed the issue about practice cancellations, and constant rescheduling, & how we needed to be considerate of people’s time, but he didn’t care. Parents would come to us staff , pissed off, looking for Keith, because they wanted to speak with him directly and he would not show up . He constantly was sick, or had something to do . He avoided parents at all costs. There were times when we would show up and we were not given access to the gym. Hunt staff would require a conversation with Keith before we were let in. We knew why, it was because he was behind on payment , he would lie and say it was because they needed his updated insurance as if we weren’t told why . There’s a lot of reasons i could give on why he doesn’t deserve your business, the main one is he doesn’t appreciate it & takes full advantage of families. He will pretend he cares about you & your situation but he doesn’t. He also cries about how he feeds his family with this program but couldn’t care less about the families he takes advantage of. I’d also love to save you the headache . I’m not here to bash Keith, although i have MANY reasons why i could after the things he said about me once i decided I wanted nothing to do with him or his program. I didn’t care enough to come and update my review until i had friends come to me upset after they tried his program. A program they once saw me supporting. Enough is enough. There were five moms, who were all apart of his staff last year and how many stayed you ask? NOT ONE. Keith will try to defend himself and say he helped me because i didn’t have to pay for the club season as if payment was ever an issue . He’ll say he did sooo much for me during my time with the program, however fails to remember all of MY OWN MONEY i spent on his program, and on his players. He offered the free season because of the time I invested into his program . Countless days & hours while I also worked full time. I poured so much into this program, For what ? It was a waste of time if you ask me. Do yourself the favor please & avoid at all costs , do not let him take advantage of you & your hard earned money!
