J D (JDcountry)· 5 months agoVery old and dilapidated facility for this size city. With the amount of youth sports they are bringing in a lot of money. There is supposed to be a “draft” to make teams as even as possible but that is a joke. If your kid is new they are guaranteed to get put on the worst team and will get beat every game by 30+ points. The referees clearly know the “good” coaches and call the games accordingly. I will never put my kids back in this situation. Find a travel league if you’re new.
Allison Gregory· 4 years agoNot enough basketball courts for all teams to have adequate practice. And the referees are not trained at all and show favoritism. some of them I don't think even know how to play the sport. Very disappointed in the structure and organization.
Taylor Mays· a year agoFun but closed when I can go
Roy Heard· a month agoPickleball Courts
