About Off The Wall Sports
Off The Wall Sports offers a variety of activities for children, primarily focusing on indoor sports leagues, bounce houses, and themed birthday parties (inflatables, video games, field sports). Parents value the generally friendly staff and well-maintained older facilities. However, there are notable inconsistencies in party organization and communication, alongside a past critical safety concern that was eventually addressed.

Insider tips

- For active sports, bring personal water bottles, towels, and a change of clothes (Review 3).
- Parents should proactively inspect bounce houses and inflatables for safety hazards, especially holes in mesh, as previous issues have been reported (Review 1).

What parents say
"Update to add: I spoke with the manager today. They have fixed the broken mesh. Adding a star back on for resolving the safety issue. This review is in regards to their bounce houses/birthday parties. I cannot comment on their youth sports. Our son was close lined in the neck by a hole in the mesh over a slide on one of the bounce houses. My initial feeling was that accidents happen, but the response was disheartening. I went to inform the manager of the hazard and my son’s injury. He acted surprised and stationed an employee near the hole to keep other kids safe. He promised to fix the hol"

"We love the staff and have had great birthday party experiences there! We recently had a video game party for our 10 year old and it was a huge success! Our 6 year old loves the inflatables and we’ve also benefited from the little kickers program! Cannot recommend enough!"

"Soccer, Sweat, and a Whole Lot of Fun: If you're looking for a place to get your soccer fix, sweat out last night's pizza, and maybe even cry a little (just me?) – Off the Wall Sports in Carmel is the spot! This winter, I joined their indoor soccer league, and let me tell you, it was a wild ride. I mean, who doesn't love running around like a lunatic, kicking a ball, and yelling at strangers (just kidding, we're all friends now)? Facility: 4.5/5 (would be 5 if they had a nap room) Off the Wall Sports has got the goods: nice turf fields, decent lighting (I didn't trip once!), and a concessi"
