★Brittany MaxeyBe careful if you're bringing your kids for extra curricular activities here. My niece didn't get to compete because they provided incorrect information, even after she confirmed. They didn't contact her when there was a registration issue, and said the reason they didn't contact her was because she was registered for another event. So she showed up thinking she was going to compete only to be told she couldn't. She was heart broken. Then the staff basically just said oh well and didn't offer a solution or a refund for the event that they failed to comminucate she couldn't complete in. They need better admin staff and processes.
★Justin HodgesCoaches are lazy. The country track event they hold for the school districts is chaotic and unorganized. When we brought a clerical error to the coaches attention instead of taking accountability they had several excuses and eventually said oh well. The kids are being punished this year and unable to compete because of the coaches laziness. To find all this out the day of the competition was incredibly disappointing for multiple kids. But hey they still get their $100 right?? no
★Krystle HodgesTheir youth sports programs are chaotic and unorganized. The coaches are lazy and their clerical errors punish the kids by not letting them compete for events they have paid to compete at. When you bring this to the coaches attention they refuse to take accountability for their errors and laziness.
★Chad WohlgemuthThis organization runs the county track meet for school districts. All students have to register online before competing but that process is difficult and full of glitches. Om parent information you can't even change the month for birthday. I speak on behalf of many parents when I say the process is extremely frustrating and has not improved in the recent years.
★Sherry AndreattaOn or around, the second day that their swimming lessons were available I signed up my grandbaby. I called on either July 27 or July 28 to verify her lessons and I was told they started July 24th. I was sure they started on July 31st. I realize that I missed the day and on July 27th or 28th I asked for a refund. I have called several times to ask where my refund was going to be issued. I have left several messages on the supervisor's voicemail. I was told today that I am not receiving a refund. I had every intention of taking my grandbaby to swim lessons, but life happens we had a new grandbaby earlier that week. DON'T MISS YOUR SWIMMING LESSONS WITH NOR BECAUSE YOU WON'T GET A REFUND. AND BY THE WAY, THIS GRANDMA IS ON A FIXED INCOME. IF I COULD GIVE THEM A ZERO RATING I WOULD HAVE.
