I was there today for a birthday party with my kid, there were around 20 kids in there. It went horribly! My kid got hit twice (with a basketball and a soccer ball) and the so-called "coaches" didn't do anything and didn't seemed like they had any training about working with kids! They smiled and walked away like nothing happened. Another two kids got hurt too. The court needs serious soundproofing because the noise alone was maddening. It was chaos. I will never go back to that place. If I could give negative starts I would! UPDATE: We got invited to another birthday party in this place. I gave them another chance. Guess what happened? Not even 5 minutes in and my son got hit, again, with a basketball right on his face and neck as we was approaching the cart to get a basketball and play. 😡 And to make matters worse the "coach" in charge brushed it off, showed zero empathy and tried to gaslight him into thinking that it was his fault and made a tasteless comment trying to be funny. They don't seem to know how to command and lead a group of kids. The so-called "coaches" desperately need training on empathy, how to solve a crisis and, most importantly, how to lead a group of young kids. If you're invited to a party in this place, I'd think twice before attending. My kid already told me that he never wants to go back to that place, and I must agree with him.

We had a wonderful birthday party at Global Sports Academy for my five-year-old son and his kindergarten friends. The kids played fun, active sports games with basketballs, and the coaches did a fantastic job keeping everyone engaged and excited. All of the kids had a great time, and the parents enjoyed it just as much watching them run around and have fun. Everything was well organized and energetic without feeling chaotic. Highly recommend Global Sports Academy for a birthday party—we’d definitely do it again!

My son is 7 years old and loves GSA and his basketball coaches. Classes are a good size with multiple coaches who.each can cater to each kids needs, making the class fun and the learning experience memorable. I highly recommend GSA to all parents in the area.

We just had another GSA birthday party and it was another one for the books. Coach Lee and his wife Dahlia put together another amazing and fun party. They plan every single aspect so that we just show up on the day of and enjoy! The coaches are all fantastic and were able to keep all the kids engaged even those that weren’t interested in playing sports. We also love the classes and both my children look forward to their classes each week. So happy to have GSA in our community!

Both my boys (ages 2 and 4) attend Global Sports Academy and I can honestly say enrolling them here is the best thing I have ever done for them. Coaches Lee, Georgie, Sari & Matt put their heart and soul into their work and make sure the children are engaged, encouraged and have an amazing time. The activities are so fun for the kids and my kids athletic abilities have grown leaps and bounds since they started here over a year ago. I love that their programs can cater to all ages. The coaches are constantly cheering the kids on and encouraging them. They do a great job at teaching them that you can do anything you want in life with a little hard work, practice and dedication. Our family truly loves Global Sports Academy and I believe Coach Lee and the rest of his staff’s upbeat and encouraging attitude is what sets this place apart from the rest. GSA is a diamond in the rough and I’m so glad we found it!
