Unprofessional, disorganized staff and management…read more If you have an issue/complaint - don't tell them, because they'll restrict you from playing at ANY or ALL locations AND won't REFUND you. Be careful because their refund policies are awful. I'm requesting a chargeback from my credit card company because I no longer want to participate. I don't know who manages this organization, but it's clearly managed by adult babies who are unable to address poor staff or player behavior. Attending staff are useless - they don't care about the rules. There are some regular players there hogging up court time or wanting to play with their friends and not allowing equal court time to newcomers. Bunch of old farts acting like entitled grade schoolers. Staff are constantly on their phones and are just there to collect a measly paycheck. Utterly useless.

Volo Sports NYC Soccer League at Sternberg Park is a Total Scam!! Avoid at All Costs and Start Your…read moreOwn League Instead. If you're considering soccer at Sternberg Park, save your money and start your own amateur league. You won't be wasting $150+ per person for Goals that blow away in the wind Fields marked by crooked plastic cones A referee who doesn't move and can't see the game An automated phone line that never connects you to a person "Weather updates" that are completely inaccurate A league that lets certain players jump from team to team A referee who plays favorites and dismisses legitimate complaints based on your accent. If you're considering signing up for Volo Sports NYC's Sternberg Park soccer league, DON'T. It's a rip off, a disorganised mess, and borderline corrupt. Our team showed up to play one night only to find the field covered in snow. Despite this, we were ready to play. The Volo referee and rep on-site told us it was too dangerous and the game was rescheduled. We did not refuse to play we were sent home. A few days later, Volo dug themselves into a hole by claiming our team "chose not to play" and that all games had gone ahead as scheduled. This was either a blatant lie or something even worse the referee deliberately sent us home while allowing other games to go ahead. We also raised concerns about the referee's ongoing bias against our team, especially after he made comments about our accents. This was completely ignored in Volo's responses, they outright refused to even address it. Volo's customer service is beyond useless. Their phone line is fully automated, forcing you to press option after option only to end up in a loop with no way to speak to a human. The weather hotline was also completely wrong, claiming all games were going ahead despite the fact that their own staff told us not to play. It took multiple emails for them to finally admit their mistake and reschedule the game. Instead of owning up immediately, they tried to gaslight, dismiss, and blame us. The volo rep is a nice guy, but the referee, an absolute disgrace. From the start, he had it out for us, making dismissive comments, telling us to "calm down" and shut up if we made loud calls to our own players in game. Other teams roster manipulation was a regular occurrence. Despite Volo doing a roll call before each game, the ref encouraged teams to bring in ringers and some of his own friends while acting like we were the problem for playing competitively. The second anyone points out that it's possible he may not be able to see everything by standing in one place you get threatened with a yellow card. I regularly come home with ankle cuts and bloody knees from other teams player but the referee claimed our team calls foul when any sort of physical tackle is made, it's a contact sport, the game is gone. Instead of rewarding teams that show up with full rosters, they create an environment where teams are better off showing up short handed so they can get a "ref approved" ringer subbed in. It's an absolute farce. Despite the referee's blatant attempts to stop us from making the playoffs, WE STILL DID. That's how much of a joke this league is even when they tried to manipulate the season against us, we still made it. Volo Sports NYC is not just overpriced, it's a scam. They take your money, deliver a subpar, borderline rigged experience, and then try to gaslight their own paying customers when called out. The lack of integrity, fairness, and basic customer service is shocking. One of the so called "perks" of the league is discounts at a bar. Except the bar is a mile away from the field, and the discount is literally just $1 off after you pay full price first. That's not a benefit, that's an insult. If you're looking for a well run, professional, and fair soccer league in NYC look elsewhere. I give them 1 star only because their volleyball league is pretty awesome and I'm happy to admit it.

The basketball training given to kids is structured and designed to develop the basics of the game, formulating strategies and ensuring physical fitness. My child has not only honed in basketball skills but also boost in confidence and sportsmanship. The culture of the academy is enriching and motivating, which makes it the right place for a young athlete to come of age and rise.If you are in need of a high-quality basketball academy in NYC, I will advise you to choose Hoops Academy NYC. That is exactly what they realize; that as much as kids need to be excelling in the game, they also need to succeed life outside the court.

Amazing self service ping pong place! It was very cool and required no human interaction…read more It was very spacious and my friends and I really enjoyed playing here. Some things I do have to say is that the blinds suddenly went up as we were playing and I had to search the entire room to find out how to bring it back down. Also, the website for Pingpod was a bit misleading and I ended up getting charged for drinks twice. It light up green for a few seconds to indicate success and then disappeared. There was no option to cancel so it was very easy to charge on the website but not quite to get a refund. Ended calling and got back in credits because they said they couldn't cancel the charge (disappointing) Overall though, great place and special shoutout to the slack community that appears to be very active.

The coaches seemed very out of touch with the kids and didn't seem to care, checking their phones whilst holding a session and generally not caring about the brand they represent.

Please be careful when choosing this organization to "teach" you kids. Also someone at the organization wrote a threatening message to me which didn't sit well at all, I'm a Police Officer and it was border line Harassment.

I've played company softball on this field several times over the past few years. It used to be a…read morereally crappy field (read: torn up grass, weeds, divots, shoddy infield, pretty much dilapidated and forgotten-- conditions not conducive to a softball or baseball game) up until a couple years ago when it was totally renovated.* Now, it's totally, shall I, say beautiful? Well, if you like turf, it's quite nice. So, obviously it's a no cleats field. There is a really nice track that surrounds the one field as well. There are stands for observers, bathrooms (which is a HUGE plus for athletes. Trust me...when ya gotta go, ya gotta go. Also, the bathrooms are clean, AND they have soap and hand towels! I was amazed.**), and locker rooms, but those aren't open to the general public and are solely for students who go to MB high school. The field is impeccably maintained too. I saw one groundskeeper (no, it wasn't Willy) who actually raked the infield when we were finished with our game last night. I guess my only gripe is it'd be great if the infield was covered to protect it from rain. It was slightly muddy at home plate last night. Oh, and since it's almost directly under the Manhattan Bridge, it can get a little noisy, so you might have trouble hearing your infield. So, if you belong to a NYC softball league and are scheduled to play here, you're lucky, because it's one of the nicer turf fields in the city. *This could also be called "Verizon Field" if you want to be all corporate about it. I think they gave the high school money for remodeling. **Maybe if I knew you better I'd tell you of the bathroom horror stories at most softball fields...flies, no doors, port-o-potties, or no bathroom at all, which doesn't help if say, you've drunk too much Gatorade and can't stand and pee like a guy. Oh, I've said too much.

I've had their staff assist me in membership changes as well as calling other locations to locate a specific item in the Equinox Shop. They are great! The facility itself is also really nice in my opinion. It definitely fits into the neighborhood with industrial chic, lighting and exposed brick and ceilings. When you walk inside the first floor has some bar seating mirrors, that's great to wait around for friends, enjoy a snack from Earthbar, or get some work done as the WiFi reaches there. Upstairs the check in desk is straight ahead, with the main studio to the left, trainers offices, the main floor and bathrooms to the right. The spa area is behind front desk. This location has steam rooms but no saunas in the restrooms.
