It is also good if your kid is not that good at the sport as it is not that competitive. Have your kid do MYS and if they are a standout player go elsewhere. The company itself is ok. The coach you get will make or break your kids experience.

    Updated a former 5-star review for May 2024…read more I'm still a fan of the Club Prep project. I like its goals and enjoy its affordability. That said, my personal recommendation is that if you happen to end up on one of the volleyball teams coached by the head of the volleyball league (who I won't name here, NOT GENE.), you should run, not walk, to another team. Our experience this past season or two was that he was largely an absentee coach, delegating his Club Prep teams to other parents while he focuses on his club teams. Says playing time is merit-based, but fails to carry out that promise by maintaining loyalty to players he previously knows. The roles and playing time of these players are never questioned or in doubt, regardless of performance. Never considered developing new players into certain roles on the team that would threaten the playing time of some of the long-timers. Most everyone else is shoehorned into the few remaining positions, where playing time becomes very scarce. This is not club level, nor is it high school. There is simply no reason for every player to not get some kind of defined role on the court on game days, including tournament games. This was just our experience. The coach you get can either make or break your experience. It put a very bad taste in our mouths this past season and ruined what was previously a very positive experience in the league.

There is a $5 gate fee for anyone over the age of 16. They have 8 fields which have been built as replicas of famous ballparks and the field offers stadium style seating. Sliders sports grill is located on the north and south side of the complex. You can watch your childs game from inside of the restaurant from the windows, which is pretty awesome. You don't have to miss your child's game if you're grabbing a bite to eat or needing to go inside to cool off. Bring some cash for their gaming machines inside of the restaurant. The bar only offers seltzers and beer. Their Ben's soft pretzels are the best! If you like white queso, get a side of this for your pretzel, yum! We have enjoyed all of their food, so far nothing was bad. If your child needs some batting practice, check out their batting cages near the main entrance of the park. They have a playground located next to the south restaurant. This is a plus for children who are not in a tournament to entertain themselves. I do wish there was a playground next to the north restaurant. My son usually plays on north side so my 5 year old can't go over to the playground unless someone is willing to supervise. The complex also offers your indoor sports programs year around. They offer indoor soccer league play, soccer skills training, lacrosse, preschool classes and yoga. See you in the near future!

It has large fields with fun backdrops, an indoor restaurant with seats by the window so you can enjoy the game with air conditioning on those hot AZ days, and indoor bathrooms! They also serve beer, including a couple of craft beers on draft. That was exciting to me because I've never been able to drink a beer while watching a girls' softball tournament. I got a hazy IPA from Four Peaks, along with chicken tenders and fries. The chicken was good. Fries were lightly battered, which is not my preference, but they were still pretty good. Finished my food inside, but went back out to the stadium seats because you can't hear the game from inside, so it wasn't as exciting to watch. Notes: -For any tournaments hosted by outside organizations (not the town of Gilbert), there is a $5 fee at the gate for non-Gilbert residents age 16 and over. They do ask to see ID. -Online it says no food or drink allowed, except for water.

I met with Coach Bettina and shyly explained what I wanted to do and understanding maybe I couldn't do it. Bettina not only assured me I could, but it would be great! She was right! With her training and guidance and her never-ending encouragement and positive energy, I completed my first Half Ironman and Racelab is guiding me to my first Ironman this year. Coach Bettina has designed a training schedule that meets the needs of my busy life with a full-time job and another sport in which I compete. All the other athletes accepted me right away and made me feel comfortable and included. From training at ASU track, to racing in Rocky Point, Mexico, we always have fun while getting faster, stronger and better. This team and coaches all care about each other and Racelab really is my second family.

I ran on my own just copying online stuff and finished my first full marathon good but physical burned out. Then I found Racelab, I called Bettina and despite my off schedule working every weekends during that time, she wrote specific plans for me to complete my fastest full, the Chicago Marathon. Since then, no turning back I have completed 12 marathons, 3 ultras and I'm training to be a triathlete. Let me tell you, training with a group like Racelab is amazing. There are days in your training that you feel high and lows physically and emotionally but with the coaches and members so supportive of each other, the mood changes to being motivated. I always look forward for our group activities whether it is swim, bike or run. I love my Racelab family, they keep me HAPPY!

    Specific to the Gilbert/Mesa league…read more Great Experience - My son has been playing flag football and basketball with i9 since 2018, and I've coached most of his teams. Our experience with the organizers and refs have almost always been great, and the few exceptions were understandable and/or dealt with. The coaches are all volunteer parents - so you get out of it what you put into it. If you don't like how the team is run, you should volunteer and try a season yourself... you just might love it! If your coach is not playing every kid pretty close to equally, let them know, and let the league office know. If they don't set this expectation on day one, ask! You should be able to switch teams. Coaches in this league who don't spread it around need to hear it from parents and/or get the boot. If you think that your kid is the next LeBron or Barry Sanders, go put them in a hyper-competitive league and see how they do. As a coach, I know that the parents have entrusted me with their kids to give them a chance to play and have fun. If I win every game but only played 5 kids, I failed. If I lose every game, but every kid had fun AND still wants to play again, then I succeeded. Any coach who can't say the same needs to go manage a fantasy football team or something and leave the coaching to those of us who will do the job correctly. Sadly, we are aging out this year so we won't get to keep playing after this season.

    The absolute worst experience with i9. My older son started…read moretball at i9 and it was a great program. His coach built his confidence and he learned teamwork. It was organized. Every week a kid from the team earned a medal for a special characteristic that they brought to the team. That is why I chose i9 for my younger son . Same age , same program My son did NOT even have a COACH this year. Every week, parents would just have the kids take turns batting off the tee until the game started. No communication , no staff reaching out to try to fix the situation. It was like I paid 200$ to i9 so that I could take my son to a park. I have zero clue how i9 would do nothing to support an entire team . I am disappointed and I will be sure to steer any parents looking for a quality program away from I9.

Game time can be chaotic with balls entering the courts but that would be an easy fix if they'd utilize the dividing nets they have set up. My disappointment is with the league. The refs are ok. Like any league there's good ones and ones who could maybe use some more training. At the start of the season, the teams were pretty well matched. They do roster checks at the beginning of the season but we were told from then on it's the opposing coaches job to do the roster check for whoever they are playing. As a result we played multiple teams throughout the season who suddenly gained older players right around playoffs. Some of the boys even joked with some players asking how old they were and they confirmed they were on one of the older teams. It was obvious to everyone else that there were kids playing down but when we asked we were told that they already did a pre-season roster check and it was the coaches responsibility to do follow up checks. I would think that was part of what we are paying for the league to handle? The boys had a great season either way but it always leaves a bitter taste to watch teams do shady stuff and go unchecked. I would recommend they look at doing more roster checks themselves throughout the season, especially for playoffs. In response to the business: Thank you for taking the time to respond. I appreciate your perspective, though my experience has been different. I have multiple children who have participated in a variety of sports leagues over the years, and many of those leagues conduct their own roster verification checks throughout the season, particularly as playoffs approach. While it would be ideal if everyone consistently acted with integrity, the reality is that safeguards are often necessary to ensure fair competition. For that reason, I believe roster verification should be a league responsibility rather than something left solely to coaches and teams. Over the past few weeks, I personally heard concerns about roster compliance being raised by parents from multiple teams to league staff. Given the number of concerns being expressed, I was surprised that no additional review appeared to take place. Despite these issues, the kids still had a great season, and I want to emphasize that my concerns are not directed at the players or their families. My concern is with the small number of coaches who may be willing to bend the rules to gain a competitive advantage. Consistent roster checks help protect the integrity of the league and send a clear message that all teams will be held to the same standards.
