Customer Testimonials
I like that’s it’s once a week and weekends only. It makes it easier for the whole family can come. I just wish that all the coaches would give the kids equal play time. I k ow that’s on the coach though not the company. All in all we love it.
I love that there are nice volunteers who coach, the weekly games are times that work for my schedule, good intro to the sport, and the reminders are helpful too of the games.
The coaches were great and nice
It is low stress for the kids
The staff is very friendly to the kids, but at the same time teach them about the specific sports. Also wether the kids win or lose, they teach them to be humble and keep their heads up.
Coach AJ was absolutely exceptional—10/10 across the board. My son attended his basketball program at the Gardens, and I was there each day, so I had the opportunity to see firsthand the type of coach he is. He was attentive, patient, encouraging, and genuinely invested in every child.
What stood out to me the most was the way he intentionally built relationships with the boys. Every morning while they stretched before practice, he would ask them about their day, what they did after practice the day before, or what they had been up to. It wasn’t just small talk—it was his way of connecting with them before practice even began. The boys laughed, talked, and felt comfortable around him, and it really created a positive team environment.
Another thing that impressed me was how quickly he learned every child’s name—in just four days. But beyond remembering names, he made every child feel seen. Whenever a child got hurt, felt overwhelmed, or became frustrated after not winning, Coach AJ never dismissed those moments. He took the time to check on them, encourage them, and help them regulate their emotions before moving forward. His patience, leadership, sportsmanship, and ability to connect with young boys were truly remarkable.
As a single mom, those qualities mean everything to me. My son attends different camps throughout the year, and while I typically stay for every practice or camp—even if it’s four or five hours in the heat—Coach AJ was one of the very few coaches who made me feel completely comfortable stepping away for a little while because I knew my son was in great hands. That peace of mind as a parent is priceless, and it speaks volumes about the trust he naturally builds with both the children and their families.
You can genuinely tell that Coach AJ loves what he does. He doesn’t just coach the game—he mentors, encourages, and builds confidence in these young athletes. I honestly wish he coached in the Galleria area because I would love for him to be my son’s primary coach. Coaches like Coach AJ leave a lasting impact on children both on and off the court, and I truly hope he receives the recognition he deserves. Five stars, 10s across the board. I highly recommend Coach AJ! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I like that it's on Saturday given we live in another county; however, perhaps every other Saturday would be nice to have due to people having summer vacations.

Instructors are great with the kids!
We love that you are able to practice and play on the same day. It helps so much with scheduling family activities. All of the information is presented clearly and helped us feel prepared for what we need to do and where we need to be. We also love the variety of options available for play and that young children can get early exposure to playing sports.

Communication - the text reminders are great!
My son enjoyed each day. He really liked basketball
Kids had fun
My daughter had such a great time and learned many skills. She was excited to go every day. It would be nice if i9 could offer their sport program throughout other schools in Chicago, this was a very far location for us.
