"We have been part of Pyramid Athletics for the last 1 1/2 years. We were happy with the program itself. There is a known bully on the team who constantly belittles, makes fun of, criticizes and is just flat out cruel and mean to most of the teammates. After multiple complaints and attempts to resolve this issue, the owner has chosen to ignore my concerns and instead cover up the known bullying problem. I was left with the decision to either stay and tolerate bullying or leave. We made the difficult choice to leave the team mid season. I would NOT recommend Pyramid Athletics due to the negative"
