The app is intuitive, personalized, and designed to create a truly unique player experience. It's also seamlessly integrated with other major tennis sites and channels. I highly recommend this league to anyone looking to get back into tennis, whether casually or competitively. Match scheduling is flexible, the player community is very active, and the division-based format is thoughtfully structured. The organizers are engaged, responsive, and clearly invested in the players' experience. I'm really glad I discovered this nationwide league--it's helped me grow my tennis network and keep pursuing my passion for the game!

This is one of the reasons why I love living in the city of Chicago. Where else can you enjoy a…read morefree yoga class in one of the most beautiful parks in the city as the sun is rising and birds are chirping? Ok, maybe New York, but I don't know about the free part. Free classes are held every Saturday morning throughout the summer and while the yoga moves are very basic (good for beginners), it feels like a different class every time depending on the instructor. It's also a good way to preview yoga instructors if you're looking to attend classes at a studio. All you need to bring is a yoga mat or towel, sunscreen, and some water. The workout schedule is as follows: Tai Chi at 7 am Yoga at 8 am Pilates at 9 am Dance Aerobics at 10 am Yes, I do have a bit of a problem getting up that early on a Saturday, or any day for that matter, but the feeling of relaxation and peace that I have after each class makes it worthwhile. Workouts run through September 11, 2010. I probably should have reviewed this sooner, but you still have time to catch a few Saturday sessions...I'll be sleeping in, but you have fun.

It meets the needs if you are into playing and less of the frills. There is free parking next door for the customers and guests. Indoor is a converted warehouse into 8 cement courts.

They have a currently have a special for membership for $9.99 for processing and $10 monthly fee, then you get the discounted member price for each reservation afterward. Like most other places, the rate depends on if it is peak vs. non-peak hours. Non-peak hours on the weekend is 8am-10am and 6pm-8pm. Good value.

The facility is clean, the equipment is well set up, and the staff--especially the manager Tony--is super helpful with any concerns. There's free parking, which is a bonus, and they've got two rooms depending on your level. The main area for improvement is enforcing the open play rules a bit more strictly. Sometimes people partner up with friends and it can cut into the rotation for others who've also paid to play. And the price is a little higher than some other spots like SPF, so hopefully they'll consider some discounts or promotions in the future. Overall, it's a place with a lot of potential. With a few tweaks, I could see it becoming a go-to spot for regular play.

I've been playing indoor volleyball with this sports league for several years now. I find this…read moreleague to be a little more organized than CMSA. The games are mostly at Center on Halsted, but if there are too many teams in a season there's overflow courts at secondary locations (we've had to play at Inter-American Magnet School and Welles Park in the past). I started out not knowing anything about volleyball, but there are a handful of people willing to help you learn and build skills. Sometimes your team may be offered a mentor if you ask. AAC also offers open gym sessions on Saturday mornings (fall/winter/spring). Games are on Tuesdays and Wednesday nights. Dues and team fees are certainly lower than CMSA. There are changing lockers on the 3rd floor by the courts. The only thing that I might comment on is that the rules for this league may vary a bit from other leagues or official NCAA rules. But that it caters to player safety and the venue (there's long nets separating the courts so it mitigates interference). But I will say this - the organizers are pretty prompt in responding to and addressing any of your concerns. This league also offers Beach Volleyball on Monday nights (at Montrose Beach) - it's less crowded than the Friday night league.

No matter what your level is, there is a class for you--from tiny beginners to national champions and everyone in between. The coaches are amazing career professionals with world titles themselves.

My son has learned so much beyond the sport--discipline, teamwork, focus on goals, self-care. We are grateful for every hour he spends in the club.
