What parents say
"I've had a disappointing experience with this soccer facility, especially since Mr. James started working here. Unfortunately, his customer service and communication style have made things difficult. It's hard to understand why someone with such a challenging approach is in charge of group interactions. I also want to warn others—don’t bring your kids here. People are drinking alcohol all over the area, which is completely inappropriate for a family-friendly environment. I hope management takes this into account and works on improving the experience for future players."

"Very dissapointed with facility for an indoor soccer tournament. Aparently we are not allowed to record our own kids playing, but they have no problem having the facility record our kids and selling us the footage.. This will be the last tournament my kid plays here.."

"Great place to practice indoor activities. The turf is always in good conditions and the cafeteria is always open. Perhaps the seats for public could be improved a little bit. If I would have to choose, I would break my leg in this place over any other one. It's just too fun!"
