SPORTSKIND - Houston

One of the best experiences I've had since moving back to Houston, such a great way to meet new people. Leagues are ran really smoothly, and provide a fun, competitive environment. Been playing in SK leagues for a few years now and I prefer them over Houston SSC mainly because the vibes are immaculate.

Overall, my experience in the basketball men's league has been mixed, leading me to give it an average rating. While our team celebrated a championship victory, several significant factors tempered my overall impression of the league. The primary issue stemmed from the quality of refereeing, which was consistently subpar throughout the season. There were instances where referees displayed blatant favoritism towards certain teams or players, undermining the integrity of the game. In one egregious example during Week 2, a referee kept his phone in his pocket, frequently checking it during the game, which directly affected their ability to officiate effectively. Additionally, I encountered an unprofessional incident with a female referee who responded dismissively when shown an injury sustained during play. Instead of addressing a legitimate concern, she reacted inappropriately, which was disappointing and reflected poorly on the league's standards of officiating. Despite these challenges, the league management's responsiveness and willingness to address concerns deserves acknowledgement. They promptly addressed our feedback and considered both sides fairly, demonstrating a commitment to improving the league experience. However, for the league to elevate its standing, significant improvements are necessary in referee selection and training. Competitive players, including myself, prioritize fair and unbiased officiating that prioritizes player safety and game integrity. In conclusion, while our championship win was a highlight, the league's average rating reflects the ongoing need for improvement in referee professionalism and consistency. I hope to see these changes implemented to enhance the overall quality and appeal of the league in the future. Sincerely, Mike Turner

First time doing this indoor volleyball league, super enjoyable. I joined as a free agent, some on my team were new and some have been playing here for a while but it is really welcoming. Fun season, great reffing.

I have played soccer in the mens 8v8 league for two seasons and both time it has been excellent! The pitch is great, the jerseys are nice, and the organization is overall very good! The only area they can improve on is more attentive and engaged refs.

Sportskind is the best league I’ve ever been a part of! I’m so glad that they offer indoor volleyball and are expanding their leagues to include even more nights. I’ve played with a work-sponsored team and signed up as a free agent, and I’ve enjoyed both. The venues/gyms are great, and the refs and other players are kind and fun to play with. I have had to reach out to the GM, Jacob, with questions a couple of times and he was quick to respond and very helpful. If you are looking for a new volleyball league to join, I definitely recommend checking out Sportskind!
