This is where my kiddo plays with Oceanside American Little League, so it's a special place for us…read more The fields are maintained enough for our weekly practices and games, and it's mostly volunteer-driven, which makes it feel very community-based. Now, it is downtown Oceanside, so fair warning: the bathrooms are often locked, and you'll occasionally see someone homeless or collecting cans around the trash. But, hey... that's just part of the charm . At the end of the day, it's still a local ballpark where core memories are being made, and I'm grateful for that.

Oceanside American Little League provides youth with an opportunity to learn to play baseball as…read morewell as sportsmanship, physical activity and building relationships. My grandson loves the baseball program and we can tell he is building self-esteem, coordination and relationship skills. The league is well organized and the kids seem to have a blast. This is what is most important "kids have fun". Thank you to all the volunteer board members and coaches that spend many hours to bring this program to Oceanside youth. With all youth leagues, there will always be parents that disagree with the way things are run or the way the volunteer coach runs the team. To those parents: if you want change, get off the bleacher and volunteer. You can coach, help with the fields or look to join the board. This way you can make change...

They make up rules on the fly and do not stay true to the rules they set out. You say something to the owner Jesse and he brushes it off and doesn't care. The league is not fun and too expensive. You pay ref fees only to be treated like crap. Such a trash unfair league. Never again will I play in an echo athletics event or recommend anyone to them. Very disappointed that the city of Carlsbad let's this happen.

This is a review for the umpires they choose for the game and for the training they have before…read morethey are appointed the job. Our team has played an entire season and not had a consistent "set of rules". Today out catcher had to call out the ump about a strike that was clearly a strike he at least changed mind and called it what it was. There seams to not me a consistent judging of what is a playable ball and what should be a foul ball. He actually said some of his calls were "my rules". The game is super fun but it is just not run fairly. In my opinion if we had the same umpire again I would recommend to the team we unite and say we will not play with him making the calls.

Not only are the monthly fees already overpriced, but now they're charging $15 for a single game on a Sunday--seriously? When we politely questioned the price, the person at the ticket booth gave us attitude instead of an explanation. It's frustrating to see youth sports becoming more about profit than the kids. Do better.

Roller Derby Season is almost here!…read more I must admit, I was turned on by the sport after seeing the 2009 film "Whip It", directed by Drew Barrymore. Little did I know at the time that roller derby was alive in San Diego! And, why wouldn't it be! We started attending derby and I realized I had found my spectator sport and as the movie suggested, it's much like finding your tribe! I was never the athletic type, yoga and tai chi and hitting the hot tub is more my speed but get me to a roller derby and I'm ready for some action! Teamwork to empowerment! A great esteem builder! Knee high socks and helmets! Retro fashion at its finest! And, the names the girls come up with are beyond creative; Tripsy Gypsy, Sugar n' Spite, or Bat Hit Crazy! Better than a horse race any day! Season tickets average less than $10 per person per game! You can train to be a debt girl too ( 8 week program). Get ready to derby as a spectator or participant! I'll be there to cheer you on either way!

Mostly for kids' baseball games, the park is otherwise small and covered in litter. Dog friendly,…read morebut minimal grassy areas. There is minimal parking along the road plus a park n ride lot across the street. The park is 90% baseball fields with little green space for walking your dog or for kids playing. There is a playground as well, but the location isn't the safest in my opinion. So I hesitate to recommend this as a real Oceanside recreation park for anything other than watching little league baseball.

Let the morning sun warm…read moreyour body, and the lapping waves lull you into the sweetest daydream... beach shavasana is the best. Carlsbad Village Athletic Club hosts Sunday morning yoga every week near the volleyball nets on Frazee Beach. Their waving yoga banners are easy to spot from the sea wall. The instructor is very lovely. She led the small class of five through a blend of opening poses & set a peaceful vibe, complete with some gentle assists & eucalyptus oil therapy. CVAC's rates recently increased from $10 to $15 a class, which is steep for a one hour outdoor session. $15 is on par with indoor studios that provide other amenities & equipment. With the nature of the soft sloping sand at Frazee, I personally found it too easy to dump all my weight into my wrists in inverted poses. Unless the class moves down to the more solidly packed sand, Frazee is better suited for meditation, seated, or standing poses. Beach yoga is a win either way, and CVAC's class is definitely worth checking out on a snoozy Sunday morning.

Carlsbad Village Athletics Club, aka CVAC, offers a GREAT BEACH YOGA experience. I have been…read moreattending for 5 years off and on. The yoga teachers have their own style, rhythm vibe and teachings which I love for the variety. They offer classes on Saturday & Sunday mornings and between the months April to September they offer Sunset classes which are breathtaking! I have asthma so I find doing the classes outside provides open-air versus inside where the air can be a bit stuffy at times causing it hard to breathe and making it unpleasant. Yoga should be relaxing allowing you to be present and aware of oneself in the moment. The stimulation we received from our senses in this outdoor environment make the whole experience different.......Like the feeling of sand beneath our feet or hearing the waves crash against the shore and let's not forget natural absorption of vitamin D from the Sun! Yes, at times it can be challenging because the ground is unstable but know your body and know your limits. I personally like it because it challenges me to work on my core more. All the teachers are certified and can help you with any modifications. I highly recommend CVAC Beach Yoga. You just might see dolphins or whales and that my friend you will not find in a studio!
