About Nzone Sports CenTex
Nzone Sports CenTex offers outdoor sports programs for children. While some parents praise the general sports offerings (like soccer) for their engaging coaches, focus on basic skill development, and promotion of sportsmanship, the cheer program specifically faces severe criticism. Issues include profound disorganization, a lack of consistent and qualified coaching, the exclusion of younger/smaller participants from activities, and unprofessional management, including concerns regarding the program owner. A strict no-refund policy applies to all programs, which is a significant consideration for parents.

What parents say
"Don’t do this program! -1000 stars Made a 7 year old cry because she did not get to participate. Disgusting!! What programs does this to a little kids in cheer.! My daughter was excited to do cheer. She was ignored the whole time! The coach focused on the older and taller kids. My daughter was sat on the side lines the coach paid her no mind the whole time she was there, and she never helped her like she did the other girls. The last cheer she was sat out and was not allowed to perform, the one other smaller girl was also sat out of last performance. I want my money back from this scam and "

"Nzone sports Central Texas is a great way for the kids to to get active and have fun while burning off that extra energy the little ones seem to have. ⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️ I love how they have different experience levels we're on our third season with Nzone. from beginner learning the basics to more experience players. Only downside is there's no refund so make sure you're committed. But for right now this fits our family needs of teaching our children how play and have good sportsmanship but eventually we will be looking for something more advanced when my child reaches that level. It's a great start tho"

"We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Nzone Sports Centex! The coaches are fantastic—always interacting with the kids, helping them develop their skills, and making each session fun. They really create a positive, welcoming environment, and it’s clear they care about the kids’ growth both on and off the field. My child loved every activity, and we look forward to returning. I highly recommend it to other parents looking for a great sports program!"
