We buy a card with 25 credits and save the card to split it up each visit. Pros: -provide helmets and bats for free -multiple pitching speeds, types, and heights -pitching machine can do baseball, softball, and slow pitch -polite staff, not friendly, but not rude or mean Cons: -the building is whatever the temperature is outside in the summer since they use outdoor air, so expect to be completely hot and sweaty within minutes of standing still -no directions from staff about where to go or how to work anything. I had to specifically ask for each thing. "Where do we go? How do we use the machine? What do these cards mean?" -staff give the appropriate size bat, but don't help with helmets, so just try a bunch of sweaty ones on until you find one you think is supposed to fit

Take a quest to the Pickleball Kingdom…read more I recently came here for a group event and was really pleased with the facility. It's a great spot to play without the weather affecting your game--no rain, wind, or cold to worry about (especially during the rainy and wintery season). The Courts & Play The facility features 12 dedicated indoor courts. Because they are built specifically for pickleball, you don't have to deal with repurposed courts or a floor covered in confusing lines. - Lighting: It's bright and the fixtures are positioned high enough that you aren't blinded when hitting high balls. - Climate: The ventilation is actually good--it didn't get too hot and the place didn't have that typical gym smell. - Community: If you aren't with a group, they support open play times. It's a solid way to meet other players in the "kingdom" and seems like a great local community. The Amenities - Spectating: If you aren't playing, there's a dedicated space on the second floor for spectating or hanging out. - Post-Game: A huge plus is that they have showers. If you need to go somewhere immediately after your session, you can freshen up right there and head out. Overall, it's a well-maintained and professional setup. Whether you're here for a private event or just looking for a consistent indoor court, this place is definitely worth the visit.

My son played two years in this league. The first year was so awful we were sure that it had to be…read morethe coach not the league it's self. Let me preface this first with a little about my son and his abilities. I would not rate my son's baseball skills very high when he started playing two years ago. I understand and accept the competitive gene was not passed on to my son. He is more into sports for the social experience than the competitive experience. That being said this league would be great if you are trying to instill in your child winning is everything. If you have a son that you are hoping will get a college scholarship or make the professional level this league is for you. If you want your child to have a fun experience playing and learning sportsmanship I would pass. First off the teams and coaches are separated on skill level. The teams are so lopsided it is pathetic that the militant coaches get excited that they won another game. There were 4 teams that they placed all the best players in one team with all the best gear. Our team got one broken pitching machine and a bunch of T-ball bats that we couldn't use in a game. The helmets that were given to us were so small that they didn't fit the majority of the kids. The coach told us that if we wanted a helmet that fit he suggested we go buy one. Every game was a slaughter. There was one team that blew every team away. The sportsmanship of the coach boarded on abuse of the kids. We would witness multiple times in every game the coach yelling at the kids. If the umpire mad a bad call we would watch the coach tear into the young junior high school umpire and intimidate him. It truly was pathetic to watch a grown man treat children this way. This coach is one of our not so finest cops to boot. This was the same attitude of the other two team coaches just to lesser degrees. I know that multiple parents complained to the board members. The response was that this is how the game is played. They were getting these kids ready to move on to more advanced and more competitive baseball. If you think you have a star base ball player and his future is in base ball, this league if for you. If you want your child to have a fun experience playing base ball I would pass. I was contacted by the coach from last year. He wanted us to sign up again because hardly any kids from the losing teams have resigned their kids for the 2014 season. I asked about the two kids that were the star players on our team if they were signed up to play again. He said yes but they will be playing on last year's undefeated team. This league is so concerned about getting players and teams built for more advanced league in the future. It is sad that they can't evenly spread the talent around and make a competitive league for all kids to play in, and enjoy.

We have moved fields 4 times, we have different coaches at almost every practice. At this point, we arn't even having games anymore. The kids that coach at practice now know nothing about the games. We were told 2 weeks ago that the head coach was looking for teams to play, but we haven't heard anything since then. When emailing the head coach about the games, he replied to the whole team "Do not email me, this is not my job". I suggest Silver Lake Soccer Club or Snohomish.

WBI not only teaches an outstanding baseball curriculum, they also focus on player development which is just as important in my opinion. You only get out what you put in & WBI teaches kids that with hard work and discipline, anything is possible. My son joined WBI last fall and his growth these past few months is unreal! He thoroughly enjoys every minute spent at WBI and is so pleased to see how his hard work is paying off! The drive, dedication, and discipline Coach Granich models is phenomenal. It's one thing to be an amazing coach but it's another thing to be a fantastic all-around role model. My son looks up to Coach Granich. The phenomenal values taught at WBI will help mold these young men into outstanding adults well past their years of playing baseball and to me that is priceless!

It worked well for both parent's schedule. Unfortunately, they couldn't offer any field trips this summer (at least when my daughter went from mid-July to mid-August). Would recommend.
