Unfortunately capitalism discriminates only based on "marketability", and the concept can be manipulated by dinosaurs and sexists and often is. Until the whole of sport and culture gets behind women's sport, there will be problems. It's a small tragedy, really. And this first paragraph was not a joke. But on with the jokes. This is not a good team to take kids to go and see, unless your family are nudists, because this WNY team tend to, well... "Flash". A lot. But then they are fantastic athletic specimens (or speciwomens as the case may be) of humanity, so you really shouldn't complain. I jest, there is no skin on offer at these matches except the skin of the enemies after the WNY Flash annihilate them. Sponsored by Sahlen's hot dogs of Buffalo, this team has been absolutely dominent in women's soccer in the USA. They have a lovely red and yellow badge that looks a lot like the Sahlen's hot dog badge, and they practice at Sahlen's Sports Park (where I play amateur level soccer sometimes), which is a fantastic facility in Elma just near Buffalo. Alex Sahlen, the daughter of the owner, is a defender on the team and is also the President. They've had some of the top talent in world football such as Marta of Brazil - the greatest female player ever, no less - and (swoon) Alex Morgan. Gemma Davison of England, Kelly Parker, American tattooed superstar Sydney LeRoux, Christine Sinclair, Carli Harris, and one of the greatest players ever - Abby Wambach. Unlike the men's team (Rhinos), the women's team actually plays in the very top tier of football, wherehey are a true dynasty of women's football. They won the league in 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013, although they lost the play off final in 2013 but won the regular season supporters' shield. They are seemingly virtually unstoppable and yet much of Western NY does not have them on their radar. OK, this year they're not doing so well, and whoever decided to continue games during the Women's World Cup... never mind. If they did indeed "Flash" the crowd then they would have to be renamed the "WNY Flesh", and if they dined on Garbage Plates, then they'd have to keep a lot of portapotties next to the field and rename themselves "WNY Flush." And for the English players on the roster, I recommend some "WNY Floss." And when it gets cold in winter, perhaps they can wear a "WNY Fleece." Please go out and watch them play - one of the most dominant sports teams in the country right now and we have them right here in Western NY with very cheap tickets and some superstars of the women's game on the team.

Parking is limited, I had to park in a field, luckily the ground was frozen, but my long walk to the entrance was brutal. Also they charge to get in and watch the kids play, torn on that. I visited with my niece the last 3 years at other sports venues (Henrietta, Victor, and Gates) and no admission fee. It's only $5.00 to get in here, but that with far away parking in a field was no fun. Inside is ok, bathrooms ok, place seemed clean, concessions good. Had a nice visit with my niece while her daughter played Volleyball. Would go back, but prefer not too just due to admissions fee, and lack of parking, other than it's ok.

I was super excited to start playing Bubble Ball Extreme this summer with a team of new friends…read more What could be better than getting to know someone by bouncing off each other and scoring goals? Let me explain what it actually is: Bubble Ball Extreme is 5 on 5 soccer with a giant inflatable ball attached to your upper body. The premise is great and sounds like it'll be a blast, but unfortunately the implementation and management fell flat. After playing the whole summer session I thought I'd review it for anyone who was curious. Our team of 10 players (6 guys and 4 girls) paid $50 each, I believe that was after a sponsor credit from Brickwood Grill. What is included is a t-shirt in your team color and 8 games plus playoffs if you make it. That's a bit steep for me considering the amount of playing time per person. A suggestion for future sessions is colored bubbles or colored socks. It's hard to tell the difference between the blues and reds once you're in a bubble. The website says this: "Standard games are 5 on 5, played on a regulation soccer field. Game time consists of two 20 minute half's & one 10 minute halftime." This was also stated on Facebook. The first game however, was changed to 8 minute quarters with a 10 minute halftime. Fine. After playing one quarter, I was exhausted anyway. You need to have at least 2 girls on the field at a time. The best way to organize your team is to have at least 6 guys & 4 girls--that way no one has to play 2 quarters in a row. It's not impossible to do so, but you will be tired and sweaty! Also, the website says: "+Maximum rosters of (9)" so I don't know what happened there. The Bubble Ball organizer/ref, Mark, always seemed to look around to check to make sure your harnesses were tight enough so that your head was a certain length away from the top of the bubble--so that's great. I never felt unsafe. For two games, we only played 4 on 4 because "a bubble popped at 10 Ugly Men Fest." I figured Mark had an extra ball just in case something happened--but he had "to order another" to replace the popped bubble. So that was annoying because the rules changed again. One game, I showed up to at the game time and the game had already started. When I asked if i showed up at the wrong time, I was told that Mark wanted to get the game going because it was getting darker sooner in the day. Glad I was told that. It was always a surprise where the game would be at, I never knew which of the 2 locations until I showed up at Cobbs Hill. Once, it was in a 3rd location that was never announced! I am just glad I saw the bubbles & my team colors... One time it had been raining prior to the game & I was wishing we were allowed to play with cleats. In the beginning we were told that cleats were not allowed. I assumed it was because they might pop the bubbles. But then I look over & see the other team with cleats on! Apparently, Mark "let everyone know on Facebook" but half our team didn't know. Several of our games did not start on time--all being at least 10 minutes late. We had to move fields once, I'm not sure who is at fault here--the fields should be rented out. Once we move to a new location, we had to set up the goals (which were now just floppy red sticks with flags on the end--not the sturdy lacrosse type goals we had been playing with) so that took time. Once we start playing, we realize how hard it is to see the goals because the "posts" are about the width of a pen. We were also reffed by Mark's girlfriend (I didn't catch her name) who, on numerous times during the game didn't start the ball in the center of the field and mostly threw it to one side or she didn't make sure that each teams players were on the right side of the field. One time we scored a goal and she "didn't see it" (which in all honesty I don't really blame her because without nets you can really tell). These goals suck. My suggestion is to invest in a PVC pipe goal--cheap and if it breaks... just stick the pipes back in! Reffing=Inconsistent. A girl would get plowed over & he'd call it, then someone would do it again & he wouldn't. Once the other team played a man down because their team didn't show up & that's all they had. They ended up goal tending the entire game & Mark let them because they were at "a disadvantage." That is not OK, the team could have forfeited but decided to play a man down, so they shouldn't get any special consideration. Playoff issue: teams who won their session were expected to play one another. I see this as a problem because I signed up for a certain night because I was busy on the other night. So one team had to play on a different night than usual. Fix: have playoffs indicated on ONE night so everyone can make it. LONG story short: I hope the management & implementation of the league gets much stronger because it was painful to play with all the changes & inconsistencies. I loved actually playing bubble ball, just hated everything surrounding the play time.

They didn't have exactly what I was looking for, but I'm super psyched to have discovered a nearby alternative to Dicks. It's a small-ish store absolutely PACKED with gear. Everything you need to play lacrosse, soccer, and an entire wall full of paddleball -- which apparently started in Rochester, who knew? If you told me Valenti Sports was the preeminent paddleball shop in the world, I would not question that. Since this place has an obvious focus on sports that are popular locally, I was a little surprised that I didn't find anything for disc golf. I'll just leave that one hanging out there in the Great Suggestion Box That Is Yelp. Definitely a great place for outfitting an athlete, but lacking typical gifty stuff -- such as lawn games, toys, jerseys and team gear. Several (non-pushy) salespeople asked if we needed help; this seems to be a place to go when you're on a mission -- "I'm looking for soccer cleats" or "my daughter wants to try out for the lacrosse team, what will she need?" We didn't grab anything during our visit, but I'll be back -- I am in want of a pair of indoor soccer cleats. And a soccer ball. And some athletic ability, but I'm afraid they might be fresh out of that.
