"We absolutely love the fact that Norm's Albany Sports Camp is truly non-competitive and a lot of fun for our 4 year old.  He's learning how to play sports cooperatively as all kids should.  What we've seen is that the staff consists of professional young coaches, some of whom have been through the program when they were younger.  They treat all the children in an even-handed manner."
-Jacquie & Marc Kriguer, Oakland, Spring 2002

"Jasper is now 9.  We are back for soccer and our son's first experience learning baseball." - Marc Kriguer, Spring 2007

"We were introduced to Albany Sports Camp by a friend last year. We've enrolled our daughter in two sessions of Sunday Soccer because she has a really good time playing soccer. The program is great - the development of basic soccer skills, the building of kid's confidence, the coaches enthusiasm and wonderful rapport with the kids, and the overall fun and excitement they all share. We would highly recommend Albany Sports Camp Sunday Soccer program to parents."

- Banjo Bolos, Hercules, May 2006

"Our son Griffin really loves the Albany Sports Camp programs. The staff teach real skills in a fun, non-competitive manner while still totally capturing and engaging the kids. After a session of soccer he begged us to stay for baseball too. 
- Guthrie and Jennifer Dolin, San Francisco, July 2005

"My grandson Griffin has been going to the Sunday Soccer & Baseball program since last summer when he was only four.  He always seems to have a good time. The staff's handling of the children is terrific. It makes me wish I was young again!"
- Lenore Dolin, Lafayette, April 2005

Director's note: Griffin's sister, Nora, having watched her brother play since she was two years old, joined us for soccer in September, 2006, when she turned four.


"My son has been attending Sunday Baseball for more than two years. 

He's in  Norm's group. When Daniel (now eight) comes home after

baseball, he's so pumped up that he can't wait for the week to go by and

for next Sunday to come."

- Pam Moreno, Albany, April 2004

Director's note:  Like so many others, Daniel has graduated to the Albany Little League.


"My son Max, now seven, learned more fundamentals during Albany Sports Camp's Sunday Soccer two years ago, when he was 5, than he did last year in the El Cerrito Soccer League.  This September he's coming back for Baseball.  Joel is spectacularly kid-friendly!"    - Danielle Castro, teacher, El Cerrito, September 2003

"My 6 year old daughter, Isabella, is currently in her 3rd session of the Albany Sports Camp's Baseball program.  Her game skills have improved progressively since she started.  But perhaps more importantly, the instruction is given in an environment that emphasizes fair play and sportsmanship, and accommodates all the kid's skill levels.  She looks forward to going to Baseball Camp on Sundays."
-Richard Carillo, Oakland, Spring 2002

"My kids have been attending Norm's Sports Camp activities on and off since 1995.  They love soccer and baseball, and the counselors are terrific.  It's great the way the boys and girls can play together."
-Lisa Johnson, Albany, Summer 2003

"Albany Sports Camp? We call it Norman's, as my boys Adam, Eli, and I have been regulars for over six years."
-Janice McCloud Berson, Kensington,  Summer 2003


 

"My son, Hamadi, started three years ago when he was four.  We like that the camp is of mixed ages and that the children learn to compromise.  Hamadi really enjoys the challenge of playing with the older children. He is active all day and he comes home tired, but happy."
-Na'imah Robinson, Richmond, Summer 2003

"I like 'Capture the Flag' and 'Connect Four'. Joel plays everything with me. Norm gives us lots of choices."
-Hamadi
