Joshua Nunez· 10 months agoGood sportsmanship from my brother, but as a same he scores and win like a king, end of the final he was doing good and we end like lost the final, but we back down and never give up and we accept the defeat and he will take it to a another level in the future. It was good short trip and we enjoy it peacefully
Mightymommy 101214· 4 years agoHorrible fields. Dry, dusty, uneven. The parents of the home team are rude and the apple clearly didn't fall far from the tree with the kids.
Mick Spillane· 5 months agoMy son plays for the Brandon broncos and we attended a football jubilee here and had a great time. Thank you.
TJ H· 9 months agoSoccer fields and facility are well kept. Quality soccer coaches.
SUSO DAVILA· 10 months agoFor some reason the tennis courts lights were moved during Hurricane last yr....don't kn why it's taking so long to repair so 2 inside courts are bad at night....maybe this will help get this done..
