Just finishing the 2014 winter indoor soccer league…read more Refuses to issue refunds for the U6 program that did not culminate. Revised game schedules in last few weeks without notifications causing chaos. Promised champion shirts for winners of divisions and decided not to buy them. Did not honor early bird fees promised. Is this Mooresville Indoor (Marie Quinn) or The Fieldhouse (Damien Arquette)?? One blames the other for everything going wrong. Marie Quinn from Mooresville Indoor takes ownership of the program when it comes to keeping the money. She wants to credit forward programs even though her company is no longer there. The Fieldhouse management wants to blame her for not having the champion jersey's even though they put on the program and seemed to be payed for it. . For me, just a big management mess. Last straw for me? When they cut championship game times so adult soccer could stretch out. What did we pay for and who did we pay? Still not sure. The companies bottom line is more important than it's customer service.

After hearing one of my friends who is also a parent talk about this place, I decided to give it a…read morelook. Here is what I found out. First of all, there are NO staff members who hold any kind of degree or certification in anything related to sports medicine, general medicine or athletic training. Also to note, NONE of the staff currently have CPR/BLS or AED Certifications. Seriously, I will not take my children to a place to do athletic activates if in the event of an emergency there is no one trained to preform basic life support. This place is supposedly linked with OrthoCarolina, HOW? They have OrthoCarolina stuff everywhere, yet no one is qualified in anything there, completely unsafe! They have uncertified people, including the "general manager" running boot camps and fitness classes. I am fairly sure before people can be certified they have to log hours under someone who is already certified? I heard they used to have a strength and conditioning coach who was degreed in Sports Medicine and certified in BLS and AED, if you are reading this, where are you? I'd like to have a real professional look after my Children. While I was there I spoke with both the "general manger" and the "owner", both of these guys seem to be overly arrogant when speaking about their business, complete amateurs running this place. It is crystal clear to everyone they come in contact with that they have no idea what they are doing. Here is the bottom line, my goal in life is to keep my children safe and this place cares more about pocketing money than the safety of any of its patrons. From one parent to another, if I were you, I would find some place with qualified staff to take my children.

Some places are simply bucket list items. They just are. The JR Motorsports shop is one such place…read morefor me. I had the opportunity to take a tour recently. My mom and I arrived about a half hour early for our scheduled tour. We took that time to check out the gift shop and get checked in for the tour. By 11:00, it began with about 12 of us going into the Dirty Mo studio where Dale Earnhardt Jr. films his podcast. Having watched the show on TV, that was very cool. He has so much interesting memorabilia in there. This is where the most pictures were taken as pictures are not allowed on the shop floor where we headed next. In the shop, we saw cars in all phases of a build. From rear end to chasis. From body to vinyl wrap. Fascinating to see the work that goes into these cars which will soon be racing around tracks all over the country and ridiculous speeds with a very real possibility of coming back in pieces. The hard work begins all over again. Towards the end of the tour something wholly unexpected and shocking happened. Dale Jr. walked in! The man himself. It almost looked like we surprised him as much as he surprised us. But he came over to the group, asked where we were all from and was gracious enough to take some pictures with everyone. OMGoodness, did that really just happen? If you are a NASCAR fan in general, you should come here for a tour. You'll appreciate it more if you are a fan of the team, though. Regardless of your team allegience, you'll see some cool cars, hear a bit of the technical side of what goes into building those cars and pay nothing for it. Unless, of course, you choose to buy some souvenirs. Let's be honest, of course you will. DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT expect to see Dale Jr. From what we were told that is exceedingly rare. This was a one off unplanned chance meeting that those of us on this specific tour were lucky enough to experience. And I thought the Dirty Mo Studio was surreal.

On a visit to the Charlotte/Kannapolis/Concord area to visit all of the NASCAR Team…read moreGarages/Headquarters, Jr Motorsports was our third stop of day two, and our sixth team overall. We visited Jr Motorsports this past summer, on a Friday afternoon in July. It was not too crowded, but there were other groups looking around the place when we were there. The building is located in the back of an industrial park in Mooresville, and there is plenty of private parking located right near the front doors. The entrance is clearly marked where you will not miss it. Everything to see here is located on the floor in which you enter the building. This includes the historical items, viewing area for the garage, and the team store. The review is further broken down into categories below: Displays/Museums/Historical Items - 2/5 Rating In terms of access to the different items to look at here, they are all located within the team's garage. You are able to look at them in a small viewing area in one corner, but you cannot really browse them like you can at other racing team's headquarters. Most of what the display is includes flags from various race wins of the team. Other than that, there is not a lot to see regarding this category. If they were to improve this, they would likely have to add another area where fans can walk through and browse. Team Store - 5/5 Rating When you arrive at Jr Motorsports, the team store is the first area you enter, and the selection here is great. There are a variety of items, some of which we did not see at any other of the team stores. Plenty of variety in terms of t-shirts, jackets, sweatshirts, hats, and other novelty items. Additionally, there was a small sale rack. There were also die casts for sale in both 1:24 and 1:64 sizes. One aspect of the selection here that is favorable is that there are items that are less in terms of price. For example, they sell used lug nuts for less than $1, have a penny press machine, and sell smaller pieces of sheet metal for less than $20. This is a good team store to visit if you are looking for smaller trinkets that will not break the bank. There are some more expensive items, but there is still the option of the less expensive items as well. Garage Access - 4/5 Rating Located in the rear of the team store is the access into the garage. You are quite literally able to walk right onto the floor, within the confines of a viewing area that is clearly marked. It is neat to be able to see right into the floor and all that goes on in the space. Unfortunately, they do not permit photography in the garage area, so I have no pictures to include. There is also the option to take a tour of this space, and that can be purchased in the team store. We did not do the tour during this visit, but still enjoyed the "free" access that all are able to view. Overall Access - 3/5 Rating Overall, the access at Jr Motorsports is not bad. As stated, you are able to see right onto the floor of the team garage. You can gain additional access if you purchase a tour, but there is still not bad access if you choose not to do so. One of the Dirty Mo Media podcasting studio is located right off of the team store. We were able to see into it, and I have included a few photos of this area in my review. However, during our visit it seemed to be roped off from entering. Supposedly, at certain times this is open to look in and get closer, but it was not during our visit. Extras - 4/5 Rating Being able to get pieces of the cars in the form of the lug nuts and smaller pieces of sheet metal is something unique to Jr Motorsports. It allows for all kinds of fans to take home real pieces of the races without completely emptying their wallets. Beyond this, and what was already outlined throughout this review, there is not much else extra going on here. To our knowledge, there were no Hero Cards for the taking here, either. There are several aspects of Jr Motorsports that make it unique, especially compared to other racing teams. The access to the garage, and the first-hand look into one of the Dirty Mo Media podcasting studios are included in that. Along with the ability to take home pieces of the cars for not that much money, this is an interesting stop to make on the tour of all of the team garages. This team is also a quicker stop, as it should take no more than 30 minutes to see everything there is to offer (unless you are taking a tour!). The fan experience at Jr Motorsports is a positive one overall.
