To begin with, my daughter tried out for a team which was suppose to be age appropriate ( 13 yr…read moreolds). They put her on a 14 yr old team, which is not a big deal. However, most of the team was NOT age appropriate and included even a 10 year old! Needless to say they lost 99% of their games because 14 year olds are a lot larger than 10, 11, and 12 yr olds. Clearly they don't have enough participants to assemble teams of the same age group. Half way through the season they cut my daughters playing time to 14%. ( I timed it!) We would sit for 6 hours watching volleyball games and she only got 20 minutes of playing time! After two tournaments of this I addressed the coaches/I got the standard answer. "Players will not get the same playing time"..yada yada yada. She was no longer progressing in the sport and she grew to hate it. I can only assume its because of the things mentioned above. And I wasted a lot of precious time watching other peoples kids play.

This is our 4th guided tour with Howling Wolf and it was again outstanding …read more We saw 4 bald eagles , multiple birds, a muskrat , and has a beautiful day in the water. Never disappointed . Looking forward to their sunset and s'mores event in the near future. They also do a trip ending with live Blues. Jake was insightful , has lots of patience , and really enjoys his work. It's always a new trip on the same river . Give them a try

AMAZING! A wonderful way to be in nature. Eagles, herons, Egrets, a wee cave, jumping fish, frogs,…read moreetc. We arrived to be warming greeted with water, donuts and a friendly ride up river. The guide shared with us maps on how to best kayak down the river. Definitely easy for those newer to kayaking and enjoyable for those more experienced. Definitely recommend!!

I just moved here and its been a great big dog park for my guy to explore and socialize but our…read morefirst dog fight was here. a french bulldog type of dog attacked him. there is a small and big dog side but im not sure why he was on the big dog side. just beware at any dog park if the owner is yelling "BE NICE" the second you walk in, its probably an aggressive dog lol lesson learned

What a great space! There are a lot of soccer fields at the complex that you can see that holds a…read morelot of permits. But nestled within all of it is actually a dog park, and I've taken my dog multiple times cannot wait for spring to come to take him again. It is a great plot of land that is split into two sections. You have one section for smaller dogs, and one for bigger dogs. More than enough space for your furry friend to run and get a good workout in. There is walking path on the perimeter of the park which is a nice little walk with your own pup (sometimes multiple pups who opt to tag along). It can get crowded at the park at times, but you really only need a good solid 30 minutes - just bring some water in case. There are a ton of dog bowls throughout the park but good to have extras!

Been going there at least weekly ever since it opened (approx. 15 yrs). If you just want to watch some really good soccer, come when the high school and young adult leagues play. If you want a warm chuckle, watch the 6-7 yr olds.

This place is a scam. They are building new facilities on scamming parents like me. My kid was…read morebeing bully and being told that he suck as a soccer player from other of his team mates. They did not do anything, took all my $1,975; ketp it and told me that it was not returns but my kid can come back to finish the season.. In which mind I am going to have my 9th year old to come back to this Team Chicago where all they did for him was destroyed his dream and lost confidence. I would never go back here and I would not recommend to take your kids here.. They are only caring to keep your money. I believe if you die or anyone die they still will not give you any money back. I would secure my bank accounts making sure they don't scam by trying to get more money. So low of them as a non profit organization, greedy. I have a broken 9th year old; they will not give me any money back after he only being part of the season for one month. He missed so many classes becasue he was being abuse. The season still have 7 more months of them using my money to build their new buildings. They were very rude telling me that I would not see any money back.

I found out the hard way, the 2011-2012 Traveling Soccer Commitment fee is NON-REFUNDABLE (so they…read moresay). It is not on any of the Team Chicago / WAA websites nor in any written documentation distributed during registration. For the 2011-2012 soccer tryouts, Team Chicago pulled a fast one. They raised the commitment (sign-up) fee to $300 (originally $200 in prior years) and held 2 soccer tryouts (one in early May and one in early June). In prior years, tryouts were held in early June, the same week all other soccer clubs have their tryouts so your child has a chance to tryout at various clubs (a fair method for existing travel soccer players). However this year, during their May tryouts they said you had 48 hours to commit or else they would not hold a spot on the soccer team which your child was offered. Well guess what, I paid. They cashed my check before the next (June) tryouts. We got a better opportunity at another soccer club and de-committed at Team Chicago that same week of the June tryouts. The front office person was nice and told me refunds were running 2 weeks late meaning others were in the same boat as I was. Well turns out 6 months later after getting the run around so many times the Team Chicago Director, who never took the time to talk to me nor answer any of my emails finally said no ( I had to get the parent company -Wheatlands Athletic Association's Manager of Finance and Operations to get a response). SO BEWARE. Team Chicago / WAA is a non-for-profit organization so they don't care about keeping customers as they know you won't return.
