My co-worker invited me to join this league which I paid $70 (early registration per person - it can be $80/person) for Fall 2017 coed volleyball. In Spring 2018 coed volleyball was $800/team for early registration. We had close to 9 people or so which everyone was okay paying. $87/person. Created our own team after we made friends with people and recruited more. Based on only knowing my coworker, they randomly put together my team of 13 people. Through this process, you can make friends from your team as well as from the other teams. I don't know how they decide placement of people, but I actually made friends (at least 7 people) with two opposing teams when we go to the bars after the games. Fall 2017 and Spring 2018 coed volleyball was sponsor by Champs (Sports bar) and Rock Bottom with other beer company (Pacifico and Corona) as these places give us discounts on those beers. I like Champs (Sports bar better) since they have more games and really good food. They always alternate each week of where the post-games are at. The regular season each in fall and spring had two "themes" and my team chose Power Rangers for "hero week" and "America" for "team week" A great way for people to be creative with their "theme" custome. Some teams will dress up prior to match and play in uniform or gym clothes We all got a shirt and each team is represented by a color of the same shirt. Wear your shirts if you want to get the sportsmanship score. It can be used as a tie breaker They allow selfies and the winner gets a $100 tab at a bar based on most people in the selfie, which my team only had maybe 4-5 at one bar and the rest is just 2 (my coworker and me), which we sometimes do selfies or photos with other teams. I wouldn't mind joining other sports this league offers such as: kickball, flag football and dodgeball. 2017 is their 10-year anniversary which our shirt from volleyball mentions. 2018 they went back to the style they used in past of what sport you're playing and what season and year on it. At least this league has some friendly people and some competitive, but it's mostly about having fun and meeting new people and socializing. They have playoffs which half the teams qualify for and if you win, money is donated to a local charity that the winner decides.

KICKBALL. There's a…read moreleague for this?!? For serious. The 2012 season will mark my 5th year playing in this league, and it's just gotten better as the years have rolled on. And after all those years, talking about 808 Sports Leagues and the kickball (and other sports) leagues they put together has never gotten old, especially trying to explain to tripped-out bar-goers on a Monday or Wednesday evening in Varsity or Rock Bottom why there are over 100 people walking around in off-beat, fluorescent or downright bright shirts ... Stranger/Future Kickballer: "So ... kickball?" Me: Yes! There's a league. And I'm on a team. S/FK: "I haven't played kickball since elementary school!" M: .... (Don't worry, we know every one hasn't. :) ) S/FK: (looks out over the sea of forest green, "WOW" pink and KOC blue shirts, among the many colors) "So, how many people are playing in this league?" M: Well, there's 24 teams, about 15-20 people per team, so you're looking at about 400+ adults playing kickball weekly. S/FK: "That's a lot of people. So, you guys have rules and everything? The red rubber ball?" M: Yup. Pretty much the same as schoolyard rules, except no one gets picked last, nah mean? And we even got playoffs and championships! S/FK: (looks around at the bar again, tries counting how many different color shirts) "So, you guys play, and then come out to the bar?" M: Yeah - it's all part of the experience. 20, 30, 40-somethings playing kickball, then chilling out at the bar. S/FK: "I'm sold. Where do I sign up?" ... Unfortunately, by the time we hit the bar in our red/green/blue/pink/orange/yellow/safety green shirts, rosters are closed for the season and you gotta wait to sign up for the next one. Sound fun yet? NO?! Well, read Justin U.'s review. "Great way to meet new people" is like the unofficial motto. Hey - relationships have been started and blossomed over the game of kickball - when's the last time that happened at a pick-up game of basketball? Kickball season runs from March to June, with sign-ups in January-February - don't be *THAT* guy that sees all the 808 Sports Leagues bright shirts and wants in after the ruckus starts! (And if you happen to miss it, there's usually a Fall season of some sport - Flag Football, another Kickball season or .... dodgeball?) SEE YOU OUT ON THAT KICKBALL FIELD!

We have tried many clinics through a variety of clubs. SAS clinics and quality coaching is like no…read moreother. Many clubs offer more drills...like rote learning. Others tend to yell. However, I observed that at SAS they have a very well rounded approach. In helping your athlete understand the game, what they are doing, what they should be seeing and demonstrating proper body mechanics for your athlete. Through just one session my child has learned so much. They bring out the best in your child through explanation, positivity and respect. My quiet, not so confident teen looks forward to each clinic and has grown so much from his experience here. I would highly recommend this gym to any parent or athlete who is interested in volleyball.

Multiple bad encounters with different coaches, but the one that stands out is a male coach at the 14s level. Completely no class, swearing at his own players, refs, etc. Has a bad reputation in the club world. If I had a big enough club with a name like SAS, I would definitely do a better job of who I hire to represent our club name. Yes, his team does win, but at the expense of his girls' mental health and referees.

In addition to i9 Sports, Police Activities League, and many other groups offering basketball play during a specified season, there were also weekly basketball clinics where we could just drop in. One such clinic is run by 808 Basketball Club held at Roosevelt High School gym on Sundays. The year round clinic teaches fundamentals and is for boys and girls from preschool through high school. The participation fee is $8, but discounted to $5 if you purchase and wear an 808 Basketball Club t-shirt. Each player needs to bring a basketball. I could tell my son was nervous, but he did his best to follow the coaches and other players. Afterwards, he told me he really liked it and wanted to return so thank you to 808 Basketball Club!

She said that even though it was her first time they didn't treat her like she was new. As soon as we walked into the gym, the ladies having us sign in were welcoming and friendly. We walked in a bit late, but they didn't make us feel bad about it, your child just jumps right in. I liked how it was casual, but not chaotic. The instructors taught a variety of moves, the kids don't get bored. The instructors are helpful and everyone who attends is encouraging. Kids would demo moves and everyone would cheer them on after their demo! I liked being able to sit and watch and get some good pics in! I like how they group the kids by age and how the kids get some free time to shoot hoops. For $8 and an hour and a half you really can't go wrong! Bring money for ono snacks after!

The seating and view were absolutely gorgeous! There was a storm brewing and a little rain but it made a nice ambiance. We had chicken wings and clam chowder as an appetizer.

Was served with asparagus and mashed potatoes. The Mai tai was a very heavy pour and delicious!

My boyfriend, Keegan Edwards, and I had dinner at the Outrigger Canoe Club on Wednesday evening…read more The setting is beautiful and the dinner itself was pleasant. However, the experience ended in a way that made me uncomfortable. After we finished our meal, a young female busser with long brown hair approached our table and asked my boyfriend for a ride home. We were clearly dining together as a couple, so the request felt inappropriate and unprofessional for a staff member to make to a guest. Situations where staff ask guests for personal favors or transportation can place diners in an awkward position and blur normal guest-staff boundaries. I did speak with a manager about the situation and was told it would be looked into and that they would follow up with me tomorrow, which I appreciate. I'm sharing this feedback so management is aware and can address it internally.

We then received an email closer to the start of the session. When we arrived for the first time, the girls were provided shirts and they got their name tags and got right into it. It's definitely a little harder with younger ones since their attention span isn't always there but they do try to keep them engaged and easier to call them when they have their name tags on. They are separated into three different groups. The beginners, returnees and most likely the better bunch. I don't know how they categorize it but that's just my guess. We attend the ages 5-8 group so I'm not too sure how the older classes work. For an hour and a half session, I feel that the money is worth it! I'd recommend it for anyone looking for an activity for their kids to try it out!

They start with warm-ups then go into skill drills. Safety, spacing, and capacity are not an issue during pandemic time.

Coaches do allow water and mask breaks (with proper spacing). Coaches are professional and everything is organized. My daughter LOVES coming here and has so much fun. This is our second, 6-week session. I highly recommend!

Like any other gym parking can be compact at times. But it's worth the wait sometimes. There is parking around the area, but if you're looking for a light cardio, for sure a few blocks isn't bad. With that being said, I still rate this gym a 10/10. From gym owners, trainers, machines (constantly getting upgraded), to prep meals, and all around solid gym vibes. IHF could be a home or possible visit for you!

My kids and I joined this place about 2 years ago. The people here became my judo family and we'd hold parties and events for the kids. We threw fundraisers and grew closer. This is what it's about..family. Due to us moving farther away and work hours getting in the way, I had to drop the sport, but now I'm back in the area and my kids and I are signed back up. Sure I'm dying and getting bus up in practice, but I love it. It hurts so good though lol. I feel comfortable knowing my kids are learning judo to protect themselves and others and simply just loving the martial art. The hours are from 5:30pm-6:30pm for the little kids and the inexperienced. The next more experienced classes are from 6:30pm-8pm then open mat after that. All the sensei's and senpai's have tons of knowledge and experience. Tournaments are held monthly by different clubs. Sign yourself and your kids up asap. It's $30 per person and $10 for each additional family member. I pay $50 monthly for the 3 of us and $50 each member a year for the USJA (United States Judo Association) which I believe is required. The parking is ridiculous though. This place is located behind the Liliha Pizza Hut. U can't park in their lot and there's limited street parking. They sell the judo gi's here too. If u or your child never did judo, the sensei's will coordinate with you and allow u to try it out for free to see if u like it or not.

They are helpful and friendly! There is also a place where they serve coffee and food. Affordability wise, considering the variety of amenities they have including pickleball tournaments and the option for family plans, you get a lot of value much more than you would get with a typical gym membership. We pay roughly $100 a month for a small family and so that's a great value in my opinion!
