Our initiation into Club/Academy soccer. It has been a nightmare. …read more 4 week late start... initial coach fired. 6 weeks later... moving on to another coach. The coach we did have did not teach any basics, no skill development, no positional training. Not even the fundamentals of passing were addressed ever.. we had to address our concerns as a whole team to a different director just to be heard... and threatened to quit as a whole team for our director to listen.... My son wants to quit because he "practices enough at recess in school". He's very young and not a football superstar... but he even noticed. He realized he is wasting his time and its not fun. So 10 weeks in and zero training. Tournaments are just a few weeks away... Hopefully the new coaches are actual coaches that live the game and love to teach!

There is a $5 gate fee for anyone over the age of 16. They have 8 fields which have been built as replicas of famous ballparks and the field offers stadium style seating. Sliders sports grill is located on the north and south side of the complex. You can watch your childs game from inside of the restaurant from the windows, which is pretty awesome. You don't have to miss your child's game if you're grabbing a bite to eat or needing to go inside to cool off. Bring some cash for their gaming machines inside of the restaurant. The bar only offers seltzers and beer. Their Ben's soft pretzels are the best! If you like white queso, get a side of this for your pretzel, yum! We have enjoyed all of their food, so far nothing was bad. If your child needs some batting practice, check out their batting cages near the main entrance of the park. They have a playground located next to the south restaurant. This is a plus for children who are not in a tournament to entertain themselves. I do wish there was a playground next to the north restaurant. My son usually plays on north side so my 5 year old can't go over to the playground unless someone is willing to supervise. The complex also offers your indoor sports programs year around. They offer indoor soccer league play, soccer skills training, lacrosse, preschool classes and yoga. See you in the near future!

It has large fields with fun backdrops, an indoor restaurant with seats by the window so you can enjoy the game with air conditioning on those hot AZ days, and indoor bathrooms! They also serve beer, including a couple of craft beers on draft. That was exciting to me because I've never been able to drink a beer while watching a girls' softball tournament. I got a hazy IPA from Four Peaks, along with chicken tenders and fries. The chicken was good. Fries were lightly battered, which is not my preference, but they were still pretty good. Finished my food inside, but went back out to the stadium seats because you can't hear the game from inside, so it wasn't as exciting to watch. Notes: -For any tournaments hosted by outside organizations (not the town of Gilbert), there is a $5 fee at the gate for non-Gilbert residents age 16 and over. They do ask to see ID. -Online it says no food or drink allowed, except for water.

This is by far the worst league in the East Valley. Do not waste your time or money…read more My son was extremely disappointed with our experience. When a team was left without a coach, his dad stepped up to help. Instead of support, both Melanie and Coach Carson were rude and unprofessional in how they handled the situation. To make matters worse, our team had only four boys show up and they played their hearts out against a team of nine players who were able to rotate in and out. There was no effort from the league to balance the teams or offer support by lending players to make the game fair. The lack of organization and sportsmanship was very disappointing. Parents, please think carefully before signing up. Our kids deserve better support, leadership, and sportsmanship. I highly recommend North Zone out of Chandler instead.

Wow! What a nice soccer facility! Looks like there is going to be 8 full size soccer fields that…read morecan be split into 2 fields for younger ages. This is a new facility and still in construction phase. The parking lot is big and appears to hold enough vehicles for all fields attendants. A new concession stand and restroom facility are close to being operational but they have plenty of food vendors and porta-potty's for now. The fields are very nice and the grass is established. A nicely paved path splits the fields and has light poles for night games. 4 of the fields have lights in place and I'm guessing the other 4 will in the future. There is no shade structures or bleachers so bring your pop up tents and lawn chairs. But plenty of seating area for parents and fans at every field. Overall a really nice, new facility dedicated just to soccer youth.

That being said, Paloma Soccer Complex is one of the places that my son plays on occasion. It's nothing super special... If memory serves, the parking lot can be a challenge and I've had to park in the way back past the paved area on a dirt lot and make the trek back to the fields... I also think that porta-potties are the only option for a bathroom and there is no concession (or at least there wasn't when I've been for tournaments). I will update next visit, however! Go with low expectations and you'll be just fine!

I guess on a positive note, I've never been robbed or stabbed while attending soccer matches here. There is a church on the property. If i were stabbed here, does that mean I'd go straight to heaven?

You'll probably end up buying more than what you plan on, so be ready. This location boasts 2 floors, with everything from kayaks to baseball bats and shoes for every sport to clothing for the kiddos. They carry major brand names such as Yeti, Hydroflask, Nike, Puma, etc. I was pleasantly surprised to also find ratchet tie downs for pick up trucks in the kayak/SUP section. They had a great sale going on before the 4th. I was able to snag my life vest for just $20! I won't be using it too much, but you gotta be safe no matter what! I was browsing around and trying on different brands when an employee asked if I needed any help. I politely declined. I did drop a star due to the fact that when I checked out, there was only one register open. There were about 3 of us behind the person who was paying. Eventually, another register opened up so I was out and about in a few minutes. I would have also liked to see scanners throughout the store to check prices. There is an abundance of parking in the lot outside. Employees are friendly and they offer a military discount when you show your valid I.D. I would recommend coming in for all of your sporting good needs!

I'm not one to usually write a review about sporting stores, I usually just review places I eat at…read more I would, however, like to write a very nice experience I had today around 12:30 - 1 PM ish when I had to find a new mug/tumbler to bring to my Krav Maga classes. There was quite a selection, and I was looking for a specific design so I looked for an employee who went through a lengthy process on the hunt for the tumbler I picked out. I unfortunately do not remember his name, but he had blonde hair I believe and was fairly tall compared to me lol. I have OCD, so I analyze every detail when I buy something. Or just everything in general. After he had recommended the Yeti Rambler and a few others, I ultimately decided on that one. This was when the probably most odd adventure at Dick's began of finding the tumbler color I liked that had the least amount of markings, dings, imperfections, etc. There were quite a few of that specific tumbler color, & it took a decent amount of time to finally decide on one. After pulling out every color of that size of mug I decided on, I narrowed it down to a few, but was still struggling due to some very minor markings I saw. I had asked for his help more than a few times to see if he could spot any markings on them and he crouched onto the floor with me, looking at them and pointing out what appeared to be the best option while I rotated the tumbler to look at it with the lighting at certain angles. Not only did this employee take the time and patience to help me, but went as far as getting me a wet and dry paper towel to see if a tiny dot of a smudge would wipe off -spoiler: it did indeed come off- but I really sincerely appreciate how understanding he was about the situation and how far he went to help me. I'd imagine a majority of people on this planet would go mad trying to help someone pick a tumbler for over an hour, but there was no judgment on his part and was very kind. I also left with an awesome tumbler thanks to him, and slightly embarrassed/guilty for the probably agonizing experience he had to go through lol, but still was very kind throughout all of it. Here is the "the chosen one" I have happily brought home!
