"Good school for the clovis area. I have been bringing my kid here for 6 months now. It's not really a place for beginners. Coaches are overwhelmed and can't provide the needed attention per athlete.

"I've been taking my 3-year old daughter here for a few months now and it is definitely a highlight of her week. The staff is friendly & helpful and the facility is always spotless. I love that the class sizes are small which allows for more attention for each of the kids. I also love that they have an open explore hour, four times a week, which is included in the monthly admission."
