Next time I go I will take more photos. I didn't realize it was new.

I contacted Arizona Soccer Skills Academy because my son was begging me for private soccer lessons…read moreover the summer. I spoke with Coach Rizzo on several occasions about it, and he kept trying to push us to the summer camp group sessions, which I made clear I did not want. Eventually, Coach Rizzo agreed to private lessons, and I registered and paid the $414 for 6 weekly lessons. After the first lesson, Coach Rizzo suggested we join the group sessions, which I took to mean in addition to the private lessons. Yesterday, we showed up for lesson #2, and Coach Rizzo was not there. When I texted him, he said he transferred us to the group sessions in lieu of private lessons, and when I objected and requested a refund, he said they don't issue refunds. So, it was a bait and switch, and I'm out hundreds of dollars. Their website says they offer private soccer lessons, but only if your child is good enough, apparently, yet they will gladly take your money and provide nothing in return. It should be noted we did attend a trail group session before registering AND PAYING FOR private lessons and then a group session after the first private lessons. We were less than impressed. The teenage coaches kept the kids in a tiny practice space, no even large enough to run in, and did extremely basic drills. (My son is 13 and has been playing recreational soccer for years.) My son was bored and not at all challenged. I do not recommend this organization.

Kids are grouped by skill level to practice drills & scrimmage with others.

We used to love bringing our little dogs to the dog park here. It's very close to home…read more Unfortunately, sometime over the past couple of years, the big dog owners took over the small dog area and we were told to take our dogs to the run in the rear (which has openings in the fence big enough for my little dog to get under). When we first entered my then 6 month old schnoodle puppy was "greeted" by several big dogs who descended on him like he was a new toy, which sent my dog literally screaming into a panic, and none of the big dog owners even moved. It used to be a fun, friendly park for dogs of all sizes. We will no longer go there.

It was about the perfect amount of activity for us as we got to try each of the activities once. There's about 8 active games including a batting game, tennis game, QB throw, field goal kick, boxing, skiing, soccer and more. Most of the games have a scoreboard that will display your score and have the top scores of the all time, weekly and daily. It's fun to see your name up on the scoreboard even when your score may be pretty brutal compared to the all-time greats. The staff was very helpful in checking us in and letting us know how each game works. There's a few games that are pretty simple and others that require some setting up (like getting boots and strapped in for the skiing. I enjoyed the QB throw the most but it looked like the bouncy basketball court was the most popular while we were there. We went on the Friday night and it wasn't very crowded...only have to wait maybe 5 minutes for any activity to open up. The place was pretty clean except I did notice they didn't spray down to clean the batting helmets after each person...that was kind of gross to put on the helmet and feel some sogginess. This may be a fun place for holding a birthday party for kids as they have ice cream, cereal and party rooms overlooking the area. For me it's probably a one and done visit, but we need more places like this where kids and families and have some good indoor activities besides bounce parks.

It is geared towards children, however there were plenty of adults living out their pro sports aspirations. We paid $33 for 59 points (per person) with the All Star package. They gave us an hour time slot to use our points, but we ended up leaving 1.5 hours in with about 20 points left each on our accounts. It's pretty hard to spend your points and you have a time factor with waiting in (short) lines. We tried out their different sports activities to include a field goal simulation, batting cage, NFL combine relay, tennis, and even alpine skiing. Certain activities are solo but others you can compete as a team or 1 on 1. Some things to keep in mind: it's an indoor facility full of sweaty kids-so there's definitely an odor. There's a lot of items like baseball bats, baseball gloves, and helmets that everyone uses. I didn't see any hand sanitizer nor did I see employees sanitizing equipment. Some of the technology was malfunctioning and that impacted scoring, I witnessed numerous groups grow frustrated at the quarterback target practice simulation and the tennis game. There's a cafe inside and also tables to view or rest if you need a break. Looking closer at the facility I suspect they have a special area to host children's birthday parties. Overall, this is a fun spot for sports lovers of all ages!

They have been doing this for at least three seasons straight, consistently finishing in the top two and winning by margins like 7 to 0, 9 to 1, and worse. Somehow they are still not promoted. This is not just bad management. It is a complete disregard for the spirit of competition. It undermines the league, insults every other team trying to develop, and spits in the face of sportsmanship. Allowing a stacked high-level team to run riot in the lowest divisions for years is not just unfair. It is pathetic. We have raised this issue with Small Goal Soccer through emails, texts, and follow-ups. Their response is a lazy shrug saying if they win this year they will be promoted. After four seasons? Really? What is the point of even having divisions if you are going to let this happen? This league has potential, but as long as it enables this kind of farce, it is nothing more than glorified target practice for teams that should not even be there. Step up. Fix it. Or stop calling it a league.

And they're connected to Drogba and that makes them even more appealing. This is an amazing field where the Phoenix Rising play and it's an amazing atmosphere especially in the supporters section. One of the best atmospheres in the US for soccer outside MLS and this team needs to be in MLS as soon as possible. One of my favourite things is that all the supporters in the supporters section have a strong left-wing passion and they even have a banner sign that says immigrants welcome or refugees welcome or something. Really wonderful work from all of them. And lots of hot people come here to watch games. So Phoenix isn't the only thing Rising if you know what I mean. They lost points for the recent racism scandal, though.
