Start the kid off right. Coaches are great and know what they are doing. Offense and defense drills every day. Thanks coaches

Multiple times have we showed up for scheduled training with the trainer never showing. So we wasted 30 minutes of driving each direction. Reached out to Cindi on team snap each time. No response every time. I have the messages still. Based on other reviews here, this seems to be a common theme. No communication and lack of organization. In the year and a half we've been coming here, the 'filtered' water machine by the bathrooms, the filter has been red, meaning it needs to be changed. The water clearly taste bad compared to actual filtered water because it's using a dirty filter and just shows the laziness and lack of consideration for the players, spectators, coaches, trainers, etc. Unfiltered tap water is safer than filtered water with a way overdue filter. I couldn't imagine running a business and not being embarrassed by something so simple to fix when it has to do with people's health. It doesn't cost much or take much time to change your water filter meant for athletes who need to drink a lot of water in the gym which is incredibly hot in the summer. (No ac) Laziness and lack of caring. Parking is also a mess, trainers are often rude to the girls and dismissive, training classes that are meant for grades 6+ have hordes of little kids running around that weren't signed up for that class, distracting my daughter and making the class more focused around the young kids as they are harder to manage. It's chaos in that little training cage half the time. They threaten if kids sign up for training classes and don't show they are only allowed to do one class next week, but it's NEVER enforced. You either have a tiny training class because half of it didn't show up or a massive, packed class because a bunch of kids decided to stick around and they need to buff their class numbers. It doesn't matter if the class was meant for older kids; the older kids will now suffer and have to deal with it. Occasionally there will be a way to check in at the front but that's so hit and miss like everything at this gym. There's nowhere for parents to sit during tournaments most of the time and it's an absolute zoo in there on tournament weekends. Incredibly disorganized and unprofessional. One of the trainers about 6 weeks ago pulled up, opened his door and was hitting it against my vehicle because they were parked so poorly there wasn't much room for him to open his door to get his training bag. When I called him out about it, he got extremely aggressive and literally was getting ready to fight me in front of the training facility he works at. He then walked in and proceeded to train a class. An unbelievable lack of professionalism. Eric that trains the younger girls usually is awesome and same with Ace. We really liked Leo as well. There's a few great trainers here that are surrounded by a bad organization and other trainers that don't care to the same level they do. Interestingly, we rarely see these three anymore. Unprofessional and organized from top to bottom. Do better.

We went there for a basketball tournament so I can't comment on their daily activities. I will not go back for another tournament. 1.) The place is very small. There are two courts in the building and no spectator seating. Then entire spectator section for each court is about eight feet wide by 50 feet long (the width of a basketball court) This section has to be shared by both teams fans and the next oncoming teams to play. It is standing room only and very hard to watch a game when everyone is packed in so tight. 2.) Charged entrance. They charge a $15 per person entry fee. This is on top of the team registration fee. This $15 dollars allows me to stand in a very crowded end of a court hoping to see around the people in front of me and dodge the kids trying to warm up for their game. For $15, I expect a seat. This place feels like it is all about taking in as much money as they can. 3.) Poor management. One of the teams parent base was very abusive. How abusing? One parent ran onto the court at a playr. She was removed from the building. One the parents was making sexual innuendo's about the 14 year old girls playing, several of the parents were yelling derogatory comments about the other team and two of the parents were trying to physically fight the opposing team. The parent based was warned by the referee and then referred to the management of the tournament. The staff did nothing about it. They staff clearly did not care about sportsmanship or safety of the players. My team was scheduled to play this opposing team in the final match but chose to forfeit the game rather than deal with the parents again, knowing that the staff were not going to to anything about the abuse. I expected a little more professionalism from the staff. 4.) Drug use. There is a small fenced half-court that is used for training. One of the training coaches came in reeeking of marijuana. He then proceeded to coach about eight 10years olds. The owner of Pacific Courts had to be aware of this as the owner talked to this coach for about ten minutes, chatting about life. No way he couldn't smell the odor of marijuana. Yet he allowed this coach to teach kids. Coaches should be sober when coaching. This isn't a new thing because a review about a year ago mentioned the same issue. It felt more like a playground than a professionally-run basketball organization.

Small, only 2 courts but good floors for basketball. Not much parking. Clean place.

I can't speak to their daily operations and lessons and teams, etc We came here for an AAU basketball tournament and it's a terrible venue for such a tourney. Parking is poor. It's very small inside but has two courts side by side, so close together that players can barely inbound the ball. Diving for loose balls on the sidelines is a no go. It's so noisy and close together that players can't tell which whistles are from their game or the game next court over. And no place for parents or spectators to sit except on tiny bleachers behind one one of the baskets. Maybe it's a fun place and maybe has great staff, but it's a poor choice for a tournament spot.
