I'm not sure I understand all the negative reviews. It sounds like those people didn't do their research. NYS is a great program and my daughter has been in their volleyball league for two years. They don't provide coaches and never have - coaches are parent volunteers. Their website clearly states this as well as the fact that they don't provide practice locations. Do your research! Their sports programs are designed to let kids have FUN while learning. If you're looking for intense, crazy competitive and over-the-top pressure, this is NOT it.
