This is my son's first season of basketball here (after playing through other organizations in…read moretown), he's in 5th grade. We weren't sure what to expect, but we absolutely LOVE Game day sports! The atmosphere is great, we have a wonderful coach, and they are big on instilling values and teamwork in the boys. My son has improved his skills a lot, made friends, and is already asking me to sign him up for another season! It's very comfortable as well- plenty of chairs and space for parents to hangout and watch the practice, either on the court or in the quieter area off the courts. They have a food bar with a variety of items to order, tables to sit at, and vending machines. The basketball team practices twice a week- once on Mondays with everyone (split into different groups each week, so all the kids eventually get to know each other a little), and then an independent team practice another day of the week. I love the way they organize this, because come game day, most of the boys have already practiced with each other during the week (on the opposing team they play). At the end of the day, it feels like one everyone is on one big team here. I have nothing bad to say about this place overall.. however there is one coach I have heard drop the F bomb several times (not our coach), and I would love to see him clean up his speech. Anyway- my son loves it here and wishes he could come more than twice a week. I'm really glad we found this place! Shout out to coach Henry- he is awesome with the boys and goes above and beyond to help out, say hi to parents, and pep talk the boys. If you're looking for a sports place for your kids, this is the place! Bonus points for being a vendor for Heartland charter school!

Former member here. Took time off for family and work obligations but came out today as a guest…read moreand experienced harassment for being a guest by Sandy S. And it was not just myself but other guests who are also former members. She made crass comments about us going to the office and paying our fees for being guests and proceeded to take pictures of us, without our consent, being in the waiting area and playing in the court. We were invited guests who did indeed go through the required protocols. It was completely unnecessary behavior and honestly, it was not that great of a place to play. There are only four courts and you can't get 3.5+ games unless you go on certain nights and even then the cliques won't let people they feel are their caliber play. Sandy S. has been suspended from the club for the very same behaviors demonstrated today. BRC needs to reconsider people (Jim B. Sandy S.) who think they own the club. Until then, it will never truly be an inclusive place where everyone is treated with respect and can enjoy the game.

Not really sure but I believe they have 10 or more fields available to play on. I noticed the fields are pretty much separated by age groups. Atmosphere is calm and serene, at least at the 8 year old level. They have snack bars where the offer non alcoholic drinks and a variety of snacks as well as a few hot dog stands to indulge oneself if so desired. They do have seating but very limited. We'll be back. it is fun to watch !!!

It was great to see it a buzz with a large family gathering bumping good tunes, individuals escaping the heat in a similar fashion to myself, and folks taking pictures. It's cool to see the city continue to invest into this park with the pickle ball courts and upgrades being done for the pavilion. I need to come back to get some time on those pickle ball courts!

Places to sit and eat, many garbage cans, never overflowing. Lots of shade. So many amenities I'm likely forgetting or have not seen yet. I will be better versed on the rules with this park as I just moved to this area and will update! Doggie bags provided so I guess our furry friends are welcome! Please pick up after them if you visit so we can keep it so clean! I have found that there are more dogs that visit first thing in the morning. Nice owners too! I have yet to see any poop not picked up. Bonus!

But when she fell last week and the coach did not even bother to check on her was funny to say the least. It was a hard cry and she wont move her right arm. She was so guarded and wont stop crying the whole place can hear it. We decided to just go with our instinct and took her to ER where they diagnosed her with right elbow fracture. Yes it is not their responsibility. But in this kind of space, IMO coach should be train to evaluate situation and guide parents. Heck! I am not even expecting first aid but to at least evaluate situation lol All we got was a generic email that she will be missed and that they understand life gets busy and that they offer other classes. And pay extra 139$ once life not that busy anymore that we reenroll Lmao Of course! We had to hold off their auto monthly enrollment since we do not have an idea about how she would recuperate! Ortho peds soonest appointment is tomorrow, so a temporary splint is on. I was not gonna say anything , until i saw their email! That just blow me off! This place suddenly just feels like a joke!

There wasn't enough time to drive home during class time to get them so I kindly asked the front desk if they by chance allow me to borrow one. They obviously have some for the employees here. The lady said "you can buy some" and pointed at the shelf where they were located. I'm sorry, but I find this inconsiderate. How can owners/managers not train employees to empathize with a parent in a situation like this. Especially when it's 50 degrees outside and even more when paying the money that is spent for tuition.
