This is what I have learned playing kickball last year with these crazy people:…read more 1. I am not nearly as innocent as I should be. 2. Vaughn likes getting hosed by Teddy. A lot. 3. You should always wear pants because you never know who is taking pictures of you. 4. Nikki C. can handle his tequila. Seriously. 5. A 45 minute/5 inning game is about what most "adults" can take for a game. ADD is alive and well here. 6. For $60, you get a t-shirt, 14 games (incl. all-star game and tourney) and a whole lot of fun. And the stories... oh god, the stories... Kicking balls? The best time you could possibly have on a Wed night! What else are you going to do? Sit at home?

If you're looking for serious table tennis game, Net & Paddle is where you should go. Located…read moreinside the church, the club has a wide range of players with different styles and games - they're all 2000 and above. Five Butterfly tables with barriers and serious players - this is where you get better. There is also a coach who gives lessons (multiball and advanced training). Time: 19:30-23:00 Mon-Fri. Ring the bell if the door is locked. The quality of table tennis is much better than most clubs in Chicago (Spin, Killerspin, Mr Pingpong) - highly recommended if you want a serious game.

They only played one day, practice the same day. I tried to email the organizers Rameed and he never returned any of my emails. Just pay the extra $200 and sign up for tackle football at your local school, where they coach and practice every day of the week. This place is very unprofessional and I would not recommend this place to anyone unless you want to waste your time.

Costel genuinely cares about these kids and invests a lot of himself in their development both as soccer players and as individuals. If you want your kids to improve and enjoy the game as they get older iProSkills is where you need to train. I'm addition to his team training he has open practices on Sundays and 4v4 pickup games on Saturdays during the winter. He also does day long camps whenever CPS has a day off.

I've been playing indoor volleyball with this sports league for several years now. I find this…read moreleague to be a little more organized than CMSA. The games are mostly at Center on Halsted, but if there are too many teams in a season there's overflow courts at secondary locations (we've had to play at Inter-American Magnet School and Welles Park in the past). I started out not knowing anything about volleyball, but there are a handful of people willing to help you learn and build skills. Sometimes your team may be offered a mentor if you ask. AAC also offers open gym sessions on Saturday mornings (fall/winter/spring). Games are on Tuesdays and Wednesday nights. Dues and team fees are certainly lower than CMSA. There are changing lockers on the 3rd floor by the courts. The only thing that I might comment on is that the rules for this league may vary a bit from other leagues or official NCAA rules. But that it caters to player safety and the venue (there's long nets separating the courts so it mitigates interference). But I will say this - the organizers are pretty prompt in responding to and addressing any of your concerns. This league also offers Beach Volleyball on Monday nights (at Montrose Beach) - it's less crowded than the Friday night league.

I've been swimming with the Chicago Smelts for more than seven years. And for seven years, the…read moreSmelts have been a second family. I've seen countless friendships forged and have even attended a few Smelts weddings--including a couple who met on the team. I've also seen people across ages, swimming abilities, socioeconomic backgrounds, geographic, ethnic and religious backgrounds come together to swim and cheer each other on. We have hardcore competitive athletes and causal fitness swimmer who come to practices when they can. They've all been welcomed and, generally, treated with respect. We have a big team, but it doesn't feel that way. The camaraderie exists at the lane level and the team level. You can be as involved as you want--whether simply attending practices from time to time or helping plan the annual pride parade decorations. The only expectation is that you be nice and swim. I mean, you need to know how to swim and follow lane etiquette, but let's start with you joining us for a practice. Pop by and decide for yourself if you want to join. Hope to see you there!

Wow a 1 star review and the things said in that review are extremely upsetting. First off if you…read moreneed to mention the word insecure 4 times in a review it makes me question how insecure they may be themselves. I am an aquatic professional and not only have I been a part of a few masters swim teams I have also been in charge of a few. The biggest thing about the chicago smelts is how unique they are. Here are few interesting facts about the Smelts: 1. Most masters teams are a program within a club, gym, YMCA, etc. Smelts is it's own entity 2. It is a non profit organization. It is not about making money and if any money is left over we always give back to the community. New lane lines to an out door pool we frequent, money to help with the swim team at Gill park, donation made to other local charities. We even do fundraising at events to help raise extra money for this reason. 3. It is run by volunteers. Everyone who coaches puts their time and energy in for the team. it is run by a board of members and not one single coach is paid. This means they do it because they love it. It's not just another job for them. 4. It's a family. Lots of teams I've seen it's people paying for a service. You go in, get your coached workout and then leave. That's it. Do not expect that from this team. There are some pretty close connections with the members of this team. Best friends formed, marriages, etc. have been created through this team. Some people rely on the friends they have found on this team as if they were family. There are always non sponsored events happening. Once a month a group of people plan a monthly 5K. Do we always get along with everyone, NO. Why should you. There are a ton of people on this team and if everyone got along with everyone then I think we would have found world peace by now. Gill park is a park district pool we utilize but it is not ours. We have no control of how the locker rooms, showers, pool area is run. That is all up to the Chicago Park District. We do our best to try and help out. Remember the raising money I talked about earlier well that's helped pay for some of the improvements made in the facility. We do what we can to help out but in the end it's up to the City of Chicago. I have been on this team for about 6 years and never have I seen a group of committed individuals as this one here. when you talk about goals for state meets many people do not list their times as their goal but how many new people they can meet in the weekend. If you are looking for a team that has no passion, you just want to go in and out without making friends along the way, you want everything to be done for you and want nothing to do with anything that requires the littlest bit of your time and energy outside of the pool then this may not be the place for you. We are about living life, making friends, having fun, and enjoying adventures together.
