A lot of staff, some a bit stressed but the guys working prop doors were cool. Six rooms for hockey changing and lots of blue panels taped up to improve the rink sides. While the wifi was poor (the phone signal even worse),it was free, and equivalent to getting 3g or ~LTE service, barely. Parking in front is paved, in the back is gravel. They did manage to be on time during the day (even a bit early) though their final schedule over the weekend came out a bit late for those of us traveling there. Cash concessions and lots of seating.

Fabulous arena located in Reading, not far off 128, in a residential neighborhood. Actually wished…read moreI lived a bit closer. Came twice so far - once for practice ice and once for a USFSA test session. The arena itself is not too cold. I was able to sit in the stands and though I was chilly, I was not cold. Practice ice involves lots of forms - yes I forged my coaches signature in quite a few places. All staff encountered were super friendly. From saying hello, to happily answering questions, to taking a genuine interest in your skating endeavors. The test session was PROFESSIONALLY run. They kept to the schedule. Kept all non testing personnel in the warming room. And did not allow people to go through the doors while a test was in session. Test results were handed out within minutes of the test conclusion. I realize that 99%+ of the people reading this review probably have no idea about what I'm writing. But if you are a high level figure skater working on the test track - this rink treats you right.

I get it's one of the few clubs in the area, coaches are either College kids who barely know…read moreanything or have the time to care. People who run the club are very stuck up and only care about certain players. EXPENSIVE as hell for the few tournaments you go to. They like taking younger kids and prioritizing them over older kids who actually want to get better. Overall don't give them your money and go to a different club where you will grow and develop as a player and person, not get swept under the rug like most kids at this club. Fair warning

This club in only 3 years of existence is generating a lot of buzz in the New England volleyball…read morecommunity. The club is pulling a lot of All-State/All-Star talent from NH and MA and placing well at national tournaments. Their top teams don't play NERVA - they only travel nationally. They have their own facility and excellent coaching staff and owners. I see this club dominating in New England soon. My daughter had an excellent experience.

Great time at TCs training center. I did the one hour assessment/training on the skating treadmill…read more. I learned more in that one hour than I have in the past few years. Rachel did a great job instructing, analyzing and coaching me during that hour. When I took what I learned on ice I noticed a difference in my skating after one session. I can't wait to go back next week. Update: I have now gone 3 times and cannot believe how much I have learned and improved!! I wish I had come years ago rather than waste my time at clinics that have 30 skaters and no individual attention. TC's is great for any age and level for learning and fine tuning skills.

My 7 year old son has started hockey lessons here in the past 6 weeks, and within our first lesson…read morewe knew we were hooked. The coaching staff is phenomenal. They don't baby the kids (which I love) but they are detail oriented, encouraging, and patient. Their communication is wonderful and prompt. My son loves to work and wants to improve his game, and this coaching staff has quickly shown they have what it takes to get him there while also letting him have fun. We drive an hour south to make it, and it's totally worth it. We are TC client's for the long haul, and my little guy can't wait to be back on the ice or tread. Coaches Tina, Scott, Kayla, and Olivia have been outstanding - can't say enough good things about them!

My son just finished his first season playing for the A's. It was the best baseball experience of…read morehis life. Not only did he have a wonderful experience with his young team but the coaches really focused on healthy player development, teamwork and the importance of a "team" and fixed the bad habits learned young. My son has also been to many of the vacation camps that they offer and has a BLAST. These guys all focus on cultivating the player's strengths, working on the player's weaknesses in a calm manner, cultivating the love of baseball, while raising the bar and transforming these young players into competitive athletes! Additionally, the communication between management, coaches and parents completely open and transparent.

The A's Baseball Center is a great baseball training center with 4 tunnels, pitching machines, and…read moremovable pitchers mounds. They took the old defunct Extra Innings Woburn and renovated the space with new cages, indoor turf and lighting. The facility is extremely well lit, which is a major plus, as many of the indoor baseball businesses in the area have poor lighting. It is easy to book tunnel time online and their rates are competitive. The owners take a no frills approach to the business. There is no pro shop or vending machines to speak of. The owners love of the game is apparent in everything they do, from running the center to coaching kids in their AAU program. They also feature many quality instructors with impressive credentials. The A's proprietors, Brian and Scott Blumsack also run an AAU program out of the Woburn location. There are 7 teams from 10u to 18u. The program started 2 years ago in this location. They play in highly competitive tournaments throughout the summer and are very involved in the development of their players. If your child has the talent, they can help them get to the next level.

They take kids in the learn-to-skate program starting at 2.5, which is younger than other clubs in the area, which is a plus for me. We really want our son to play hockey and he was so excited to start - and by the second lesson, he was skating by himself, bending over to pick things up off the ice, and learning to get up from sitting. They also had a really cool halloween party last week where he got to go in his cheeseburger costume, got free cupcakes, and a free lesson! I couldn't be any happier with Cape Ann Skating Club, Faye is really a wonderful teacher. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend sending a child here to learn to skate!
