PROtential Sports

This is the only sports program or camp I would allow my child to attend. My son has been in their soccer league since he was three. He is nine now and continues with soccer as well as their football and basketball leagues. The coaches are phenomenal and always make sure that they are not only training the children, but allowing them to play and have fun. He environment is kind and educational instead of cutthroat like many other sports programs. This program is wonderful! If you have a child you owe it to them to try it!

Please heed the warnings that you see regarding Protential Sports. I have had numerous issues with them, from my child's safety to billing and beyond. The kids are outside in the heat and the weather a lot. At the location my child went to, they were required to seek shelter under an awning attached to a clubhouse "snack shack" during thunderstorms. My child was refused a snack (kids bring their own) because it wasn't the official "snack time". Refused a snack after being out in the hot sun running around! My child came home with so many bug bites that we ended up at urgent care for treatment. They repeatedly over charged me and each time I had to make several requests to have the money returned. I am so sorry that I allowed my child to attend Protential Sports. The day that one of the coaches quit he told me that he couldn't handle it anymore and was leaving for a "real job". Um yes, I just trusted you with the care of my child and to you it's not even a real job. Please find another, any other, option for your child.

Fellow parents, I would stay clear of this summer camp. I am rating Protential Sports ZERO stars for the way they have handled my situation. I signed up my 3 children for the Waterchase 2015 summer camp prior to hearing any negative press from other parents about this camp.



I was required to pay a total of $465 to register my children. $150 was for application fees and $315 was for their first week of camp in advance. After I made this payment, other parents in my neighborhood began to tell me about their negative experiences with this camp. The biggest issue for me was the fact that all of the children have NO indoor breaks until 1pm in the afternoon each day!



After hearing about this, I became very concerned. I called Protential Sports to confirm the information that I had heard. They told me that the Waterchase Homeowner's Association did not want any kids in the clubhouse until the afternoon, but that the kids could take water breaks in the shade outside. I was literally outraged. I don't need to tell anyone reading this post about the extreme heat of Tampa summers, even in the morning.



I asked Protential Sports for a full refund of my $465 over 2 months ago. I have not seen one penny of it after sending numerous e-mails and making multiple phone calls. The only e-mail correspondence that I have received is a refusal to refund my application fees, but they have completely avoided responding at all about the refund of the remaining $315.



I have filed a complaint with BBB and I plan on taking this to court.

PROtential Sports is an awesome place for kids to go and improve their sport skills!
