★★★★Mark McCann

Nice facility for the players to compete. They do have a problem with the air conditioning. One game I attended had so much humidity the floor was slick and possibly dangerous for the players. But overall it’s a nice facility. The employees at the concession are very nice and very pleasant. They hire excellent youngsters for the concessions.

From my experience of coaching here the last 12 years: This used to be a great place for kids to play but in recent years it has really went downhill. The facility is decent, but the new management is extremely poor. It really seems petty to charge $4 per adult and $3 per student to watch any young age group play, let alone 1st and 2nd graders. New management only seems to care about the money and doesn't understand that creating the best experience possible for the players and families will generate revenue through volume instead of trying to pinch every penny out of attendees. I could go on and on about but just do yourself a favor and look at the other options in town.

BEWARE, after you pay to have your kid play in the league you also have to pay for each person to come in to watch your kid. Nice gym to play in but the entry fee idea is just petty.

★★★Angela Doehring

Enjoyed having my kids play recreational basketball here, but not a fan of this new policy to have to pay an entrance fee just to watch their games (on top of the registration fee). We will have to pay over $100 just to watch them play this season! Ridiculous!

My daughter has had volleyball and basketball here. Very nice facility, only downside is having to pay entry to watch our daughter play. After paying to have her play on the tram. It's only a couple bucks so it doesn't break the bank.
