This is absolutely the best basketball academy in South Florida. The coaching staff is amazing and able to work great with kids of all levels. We have been part of the academy for several years and there really is no place else to be. The entire academy is one giant family. read more

My son has been training/playing here for the last 3 years and truly enjoys himself everytime. The coaches are very brilliant and really know how to teach children the game of basketball. Tootie and Mark are both amazing and really care about the kids and preparing them for the future. My son basketball skills from the beginning to now have increase tremendously. I would recommend this program to anyone especially if you want to surround yourself around a positive environment from the coaches, team moms, parents and kids. read more

Meet the Business Owner: Mark B.

Mark Black has been playing sports since the age of five. During his adolescent years he played both football and basketball. It wasn't until he attended Miami Killian High School that he found his true passion, basketball. While playing at Miami Killian he was a Starter Point Guard for three years and led the team in assists, steals and minutes played per game. He won Defensive Player of the Year for two consecutive years. Upon graduation, Mark was given a scholarship to attend South Carolina State University. After college Mark returned to Miami where he began his coaching legacy. Mark continued to coach and train kids throughout the state of Florida playing in different leagues such as USSA, Boys and Girls Club, YBOA, AAU, Suniland, South Miami and YMCA. After 16 years of winning championships, Mark decided to devote more time to train kids by embarking in the creation of Mark Black Training Academy. Mark's motto: "Hard Work Beats Talent, when Talent Doesn't Work Hard!"

Totally shocking, inappropriate, disappointing, and unsafe for everyone involved. As a single mom to a 4 year old, this is a parking lot I will never be seen in because it's unsafe for my child and I. I reached out to the owner who refunded me for the remaining classes but my real request was to do better, make responsible decisions that are fair for all! The kids and the coaches have to suffer. We are so sad that the owner is unable to take feedback or make decisions with consideration to the kids on his teams. We've bought 3 jerseys, cleats, socks, the whole getup to be part of this team.

This beautiful public pool recently re-opened after extensive renovations. They have a small pool designated for children, and the main pool which is divided into shallow water and deep water. Also be sure to explore the grotto and the waterfalls. They will stop admitting guests once they reach capacity, so try to arrive early. There are plenty of lifeguards around to keep everyone safe. The facility is well-outfitted with ample parking, a casual café, and M/F locker rooms with showers.

Two of their friends who never entered before got banned for no reason at all aswelll. It's ridiculous that you need to be using the tubes in the lazy river when it's 3 feet. They only have 3 slides besides the little kids park and from the 3 slides only 2 work most of the time.The big one is always getting repairs and there are no other slides. The food is way too expensive with chicken tenders costing $21 and when I went to buy ice cream it said it cost $7 but I got charged for $10 because of multiple taxes.They get lots of money and still can't get more rides. I do not recommend this park for anyone's family

Admission is free but donations are always welcome! Please consider donating to help offset the cost of maintaining this farm. Come check out this place with your friends or family. Really just a cute farm. I honestly didn't even know this was here. It's located in a neighborhood. There is also a horse stable next to the farm, Showclass Stables. We had a great time and this visit to My Little Farm Davie helped the kids earn a loop for Cub Scouts. Woohoo!
