Disorganized Chaos on the Pitch

I'm extremely disappointed with our experience at Junior Cricket Upper Hutt. As a parent, I was initially excited to see my 9-year-old son join a club that emphasizes inclusivity and fun, but what we got was disorganization and a lack of clear communication. The playing grades seemed to be determined arbitrarily, and there was no clear explanation of how they decided which kids would play in higher grades. My son was put in a team with kids who were significantly older and more experienced, which made it difficult for him to enjoy the game. The facilities at Trentham Memorial Park are great, but the logistics of getting the kids to the right pitches on time were a nightmare. The committee and volunteers seem nice, but they appear to be overwhelmed and understaffed. We've had issues with the Sporty NZ app not updating scores and schedules correctly, which added to the frustration. For a club that values community connections and sportsmanship, I expected a more supportive and structured environment. Sadly, our experience has been a letdown, and we're considering looking for a different club that can provide a more enjoyable and organized experience for our child.
