US Sports Camps, Inc.

I felt misled by the website for Volleyball camps. I didn’t see the sideways «get the details» icon or if I had seen it before registering I wouldn’t have known to click on it. After signing up for a 5 day 9am-​9pm camp the registration confirmation came back and it turned out the camp is only a 3 day 9am-​9pm camp, there is little Volleyball happening on the arrival and departure days. Plus one night was off from sports and our girls were to bring extra money for a trip to an amusement park — one we are not interested in! Not mentioned on the web-​site! Worse yet, I called to cancel and not only did I have to pay $ 100 to cancel but the manager I spoke to was VERY RUDE! She was arrogant and patronizing to the point that I WOULD NEVER SEND A CHILD TO THEIR CAMP. If the manager is so bad, I can only guess that the other staff would be too. Be cautious and careful when signing up for these camps or better yet, just skip this one! It’s price would make you think they were serious about Volleyball but I think they are only serious about making money.

My daughter just returned from the US Sports Nike Soccer camp and I must say I am disappointed. The training schedule shows more training than what they actually get. They cut training sessions all together, they are not trained to play the positions they play in their league, swimming that is on the schedule is not allowed except for one day and the award ceremony on the last day was moved up without notifying parents. We will not attend another one of their camps.

I’ve been going to US Sports Camps camps for my whole entire life and have thoroughly enjoyed them all. I’m actually kind of sad that I am too old to participate in them because the max age is usually 18 on their camps. I’ve been to Tennis Camp, Golf Camp, and Baseball camp and loved every single one of them!

You can tell by the one lonely star that this business deserves to be on my «Run for the Hills» list. In fact, at this point the word «crooks» comes to mind. Let me expand.
In March, I enrolled my 17 year old daughter in a three day LaCrosse camp at Stanford this July. Unfortunately, my daughter injured her back and won’t be able to play lacrosse again. In fact, she’ll be living with this painful back injury for the rest of her life. A few weeks ago I sent an email to the company asking that she be withdrawn from the camp and that our money be refunded. I received no response. Today I called them, explained the situation and asked for a refund. They told me they don’t give refunds and that I’d have to find someone to take her place and pay me. Wait, you’re telling me that a sports camp doesn’t give refunds for injured players? You’re saying that you won’t refund our money for a camp that doesn’t even start for another two and half months, where you could easily fill her spot? You’re stating that even with a doctor’s note and if my daughter was in a wheel chair, we are still out of luck? Wow! You folks must get a lot of free money! What a great scam! Why didn’t I think of it?
I’ve been an athlete my entire life. I’ve had broken bones, twisted knees and ankles, strained muscles and a host of other sports-​related injuries that have put me out of commission. Never have I heard of any camp that would refuse to give a refund to an injured player. I’d like my daughter to get better and really wish I had that $ 510 back to help pay for her therapy. Guess it’s more important that the camp counselors keep it to make the payments on their Escalades.
TIP: Stay far away from these happy campers!
