Lexington Sports & Social Club's Thursday night bowling league just started up for the Fall season…read more As usual, this league sold out early. And as in previous seasons, Malibu Jack's is the host venue, and it's always a league favorite! The bowling lanes are top-notch as is the beer selection (Sweetwater 420 for me!). And we shared a piping hot Brooklyn Pizza as we bowled. The Sandbar and Grill that adjoins the bowling had quite a crowd on a Thursday night, with lots of customers enjoying beer pong and karaoke! Great venue choice for the new Lexington Sports and Social Club bowling league! Can't wait for next week! Bowling is always one of the most enjoyable and laid back sports that LSSC offers and when combined with Malibu Jack's, it's a combo that would impress Jeffrey Lebowski (as long as no one karaokes to the Eagles!).

When it comes to college basketball, Kentucky is one of the blue bloods. They're in the same elite,…read morerarified air as North Carolina, Duke, Kansas, and UCLA. The Wildcats are one of the sport's most successful programs, winning eight national championships. Kentucky's eight titles rank second all-time behind UCLA's 11. In addition, at the time of writing this review, among all schools, all-time, Kentucky has: * The most NCAA Division I wins. * The highest NCAA Division I winning percentage. * The most NCAA tournament appearances. * The most NCAA tournament wins. Adolph Rupp was the only UK coach to win multiple national championships at the school. He won their first four in 1948, 1949, 1951, and 1958. Joe B. Hall (Rupp's former assistant), Rick Pitino, Tubby Smith, and John Calipari were UK's other national championship-winning coaches. They won in 1978, 1996, 1998, and 2012, respectively. I remember the Pitino, Smith, and Calipari championships because those occurred during my lifetime and when I was following college basketball. The 1996 Kentucky team blew out my beloved Tim Duncan-led Wake Forest Demon Deacons in the Elite Eight, 83-63. That was only Wake's sixth Elite Eight appearance, first since 1984, and had the Deacs won, they would have returned to the Final Four for the first time since their lone appearance in 1962. Tubby Smith, the coach of the 1998 Kentucky team, played college basketball at High Point University (then High Point College) in my hometown of High Point, North Carolina. Since 2018, Tubby has been the head coach at High Point. Not much needs to be said about Coach Cal as he is one of the preeminent college basketball coaches today. He's become a fixture at the NBA Draft because Kentucky, like the aforementioned blue bloods, simply reload, year after year, with five-star recruits. Many eventually make their way into the NBA. At the start of the latest NBA season (2020-21), Kentucky led all schools with the most number of former players, 31, on opening-night rosters. Duke was next with 26. One game I would like to humbly point out is from December 6, 2020. My alma mater, Georgia Tech, defeated Kentucky (ranked No. 20 at the time), 79-62: https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/game?gameId=401255627. :)

I think all members of our kids team were first-timers with indoor this winter. Most had played in…read morevarious outdoor leagues previously, though. We have enjoyed having something soccer-related in the cold season overall. I like also that they now have "free agent" sign-ups, which allows kids to register as individuals, not as a group. Some kids don't have a team yet, so this feels more inclusive. They should perhaps also find a way to have teams check off whether they can take on a free agent player or not. Some may have space for more. The refs have been fair and professional. What is hard to adjust to is how rushed I feel to get our kids on the field, onto our bench, and then immediately rushed off the field the second the final buzzer sounds. They really pack their schedule tight for maximum profit, so even 10 min of warm-up prior to the game is the exception, not the norm. I believe that team managers aren't very forthcoming about whether their kids are recreational or select team players. This results in very skewed matches because some teams are essentially stacked while others are made up of purely recreational players. I'm not sure how that's enjoyable or instructional for these select coaches and players! I'm also not sure how KY Indoor can better vet these teams and correctly place them in appropriate leagues. Our child's comment sums it up: "It's harder than playing our toughest team in outdoor. But it's fun." So I can just hope our kids are learning from playing these stars. Overall I think we still find outdoor to be much more rewarding, but glad with indoor we are getting some soccer in during the long winter hiatus.

Coach John and Coach Roscoe are unbelievable coaches that really understand how to teach kids. My daughter loved going to see them several times a week. The facility is top notch. The bad: The GM has run off all of the coaches and there is no one with tenure that has tennis experience/knowledge. You can not send your kid there with any confidence their coach will stay for an extended period of time.

The gym has loads of equipment for all different types of training like free weights, treadmills, machines, and is spaced out fairly well. The only downside with the gym is sometimes it will get too busy and there will be a wait time for machines, but there's loads of different variations if you need them, other than that it is amazing. The recreational center has more than the gym itself, it also has exercise class rooms like cycling and zumba, multiple basketball courts, an indoor track, and even a rock climbing wall with staff to help newcomers. Overall this center has something for everyone and I have personally loved my experiences here. I would positively recommend this space to anyone looking to meet new people or just fill time in your day.

It's a great way to get my head off the stresses from school and meet new people who have similar interests to myself. The faculty have all been nice from what I've seen and interacted with. It's mostly college students here at Kentucky. Most of the negative online reviews focus on the gym's layout, which is next to the basketball courts, and I would have to agree that this is probably the gym's weakest point. I don't like that there are two floors to the gym and that it is so crowded. But if you go at the right time, I'm sure it's similar to every gym. Other than that, there aren't many negative things I could say about it. I've enjoyed my experiences so far and plan to keep going to the Johnson Center in the future.
