My child did a 3 day camp and a small additional clinic. They had a great workout to begin. Though rigorous they still managed to have fun and laugh as well. The coaching was superb. The kids were able to train with different coaches and each were fantastic!

I joined GSI today. Great facility, 12 beautiful new courts. Loved the flooring and my knees don’t hurt after playing.

I signed up for intermediate play tonight and had a blast. About 12 people showed up, all were friendly and we all enjoyed playing together. Even split of men and women.. and we rotated players. Also, the AC felt great! Highly recommend.

Unfortunately, our experience with the volleyball program at GSI was deceitful and unethical. We were open to having our daughter play for this team and were given practice and tournament schedules verbally after her tryout. When we signed our contract, it was with the understanding that our practice and tournament schedule would be as we were told after tryouts - we would go to 2 out of state and 4 in state tournaments with 1 out of state being decided with parent input (parent input never happened). The actual tournament schedule has 6 out of state and 9 in state tournaments! Also, the practice schedule was much different with more weekday practices that are later in the evening than we were originally told. We attempted to communicate our concerns for our daughters' well-being, but not only did we not receive any compassion from GSI, we were also demeaned for advocating for our daughter by a parent on a group chat. We requested a refund for payments made thus far (she has not received any training, been to a single practice, or tournament) but were denied our refund of $2,368.20. Parents, we wanted to share this experience, so you don’t make the same mistake and entrust your children to adults who are unethical and don’t have the wellbeing of kids as their primary focus. Also, don't put your credit card in sports engine until you see the finalized practice and tournament schedule!!!

The best way I can describe GSI is “World Class”- World Class coaches, world classes facilities, aiming to develop world class athletes. As a volleyball mom of 2 athletes who aspire to play at the highest level, having the opportunity to train at GSI is a no-brainer.

What a wonderful facility! Donald and Yury have been great with Kate this summer. My daughter has done several camps and we are very excited for volleyball club season.

Michelle Gratton

My daughter is joining the volleyball club. She has done a couple private volleyball sessions. Beautiful facility. Exceptional coaches! Great communication and friendly staff.

I Join GSI for pickleball. Here are my suggestions:
* Get better lighting so you can see the ball.
* Have specific courts designated for beginning, intermediate, and advanced.
* For booking, show the actual court (whether it be beginning, intermediate, or advanced) with the number of people signed up.
Right now it is hit or miss whether there is even enough people to play let alone at your level.
