ZogSports NYC

I have been playing indoor volleyball with Zog in Jersey City and Hoboken for the past 5 years and only have positive things to say. Hence why I have been playing with them for over 5 years. I have met some of my closest friends thanks to Zog. Sure there were 2 or 3 times where our game was won by forfeit because the other team didn't show up, but I can only blame the opposing team for not notifying Zog, and not Zog itself. The one time that the opposing team did notify Zog, I received a notification from one of their reps ahead of time. Love Zog so much that I even signed up for fall bowling and looking forward to it!

8 years of NYC Rec.sports and this is the worst experience I’ve ever had. The league delivered on practically nothing it sold us. We had multiple last minute postponements. Never had a shot clock or scoreboard. Single ref and many more issues that weren’t resolved with costumer service who barely responded to my emails after multiple weeks of no replies (the season only lasts 6 weeks). For the same price as any other basketball league I’ve played in this is a colossal rip off. They also don’t offer refunds regardless of how poorly the league runs so save your money.

The Brooklyn Pier 6 volleyball league did not provide us a ball, cancelled games without telling us in advance, updated the last 2 weeks of standings & scheduled playoff games with less than 24 hr notice (and only bc we contacted them to ask), and did not provide a referee for the playoffs (he was reffing a VOLO game on the next court and told us to tell him the score at the end).

Zog’s gone way downhill and instead of doing anything to make their players happy, they just send groveling emails about how they’re stretched so thin right now. Been playing soccer with them for years, but these days they’re failing to do the bare minimum. No refs and the field where we play frequently doesn’t know we’re actually supposed to be there. Multiple times through the winter, the facility tried to kick us out despite having games scheduled. Then Zog has failed to be organized with their own schedule and made us replay games that they had already counted toward the league and not agreed to accept scores from games without a ref, even when both teams agreed to count the game. It’s not that hard to keep track of teams and scores. I’ve run tournaments with friends that were more organized. I’m not sure what we pay them for at this point and may be looking for a different league soon.

I really gave this league 3 tries to be a decently run organization for Jersey City Volleyball, and never once did it get better. No communication of cancellations amongst the teams (4 teams total), no referees for half the games, the staff have no idea who's playing who, playoffs only having 3 teams, this was just a poor excuse for a sports league. I wish I could take my money back and my time spent in this league, just delete this league and focus on other sports that you actually can run.

Their leagues are so disorganized and they had no refs for our playoff game, they’ve also had refs show up late consistently and refuse to refund based on it. This organization used to be way better before they cut their staff

If I could give less stars i would. Zog is horriibly ran especially for the Brooklyn sports leagues! This is coming from a person who has played at least 5+ years with them. All they do is make excuses and then are not attentive with anything they do. They do all of this while hiding behind their no refund policy so that allows them to push back season start dates months later then they were supposed to actually be. Communication is horrible as you can barely get in contact with anyone even going as far as to show up to games that you cant play because they never cancelled it and have no refs. This Spring season was the last straw with them pushing back the date after they took peoples money a whole month and half and still refuse to give refunds!

Have been actively trying to get refunded for a league that never happened for the past 2 years with no success.

I've played kickball with Zog for a few years and the experience has gone consistently downhill every season. This last season, they failed to provide a ref for 2 out of 6 regular season games, and again for the playoffs. We didn't receive prior notice that the games would be cancelled due to staffing issues, and showed up to the field each time only to be unable to play. Additionally, they are difficult to get in contact with, completely unresponsive to complaints, and have ignored all of our requests for partial refunds due to the mishandling of the season. Our team is actively looking for other rec options, and I recommend others do as well.

Id like to give a big shout to big mike and JJ for always coming thru for all of us. Making the tough calls.

Thank you. This is mike w the skittles

Zog was completely INACCESSIBLE throughout the entire league, we had NO WAY to contact them to let them know when we couldn’t make the team and we were NEVER contacted when other teams didn’t make it leaving us ALONE for 3 games. There was NO BUS that showed up to pick and drop us off as promised. Many games had NO umps making them unofficial. We Paid for 6 games and technically only got 2 out of the 6. There was no platform for us to contact the other teams directly which honestly would have resulted in a better organized league.

No organization or communication. You travel over an hour to games to find out there is no umpire, and Zog just says “oops sorry”.

BEWARE THIS COMPANY WILL TAKE YOUR MONEY AND RUN! Just like others they took our money, cancelled the league with no postpone date and refuse to provide a refund just give credit to you for a league that might never happen!

Zogsports took mine and 7 of my friend's signup fee (over $1500) in March 2020 and has ignored all attempted communications to have those funds returned to us ever since. They took our money to cover their own expenses over the last year instead of refunding people who signed up for their leagues before covid. Now they are marketing leagues that are starting up again without refunding the people who are still owed money. If you're thinking of signing up, don't!

Pre-paid for 2 leagues (my wife and I for one and solo for another). Leagues were canceled for Covid-19. No refund issued, only a credit. The credit does not mean a thing since my life situation has completely changed. A rep stated that there is no money available because of how they allocate funds to the future. My money is being held hostage for poor cash flow management. Crooks.

Stay away. Stay far away.

They will not refund us for a league (nearly $1500) we booked that got cancelled due to COVID. We do not want a credit, as everyone's lives have changed, many have moved out of the city, etc. Every other concert/ event ticket I purchased that got cancelled due to COVID has been refunded. They need to find a way to make right on these refunds. This is totally unethical and absurd.

Zog Sports and their reps are top-notch, professional and get the job done from start to finish. They made registration easy and painless.these guys are woke! (I hope bc of my age, I used it in the right context:)

Zog is an amazing way to make new friends, stay active, and have fun. I've really enjoyed my time in the leagues and owe many of my current friendships to the league. The games are well-run, competitive, and the league management is really good about following up with team during the season. So glad that I finally signed up for Volleyball!
