Amazing client services, really sad that most gym/sportsmemberships aren't like this team…read more I got a memebership there a year back but hurt myself pretty badly. Unfortantely, I had to stop going and processed a cancellation of my membership. Some how the process never finished and I was getting charged. I was able to get help from the location manager (Lou) and she was really understanding and respectful. She was able to get the situation resolved pretty quickly and I remembered why I fell in love with the place. You can always replace equipment and courts but you can't replace great client experiances. I highly recommend anyone who is looking for a sports gym to check out the Hub Alameda

The surfacing on the courts and the amount of courts they have here is amazing! However I will say,…read morepricing just keeps going up and I don't think it's going to stop, because they know people here in the bay make too much and will pay whatever amount to have nice courts with good people to play here. I personally just buy the day passes here and come during the weekend every so often, and stay all day (since they have in n out privileges) to make my pass worth it. I remember the good old days when day passes were just $25, but now it is $40! A bit too much for me, if you are looking for a free court with good opponents, you can play at Mitchell park in Palo Alto. Also, during rainy days is very busy so be mindful of that if you are coming because you can't play outside for free, because everyone else has the same idea! Other than that, when I do come to the hub, I always get good games in when I play in the higher skill levels

We hired Alistair and his team for the prep and painting of our pickleball and basketball courts,…read moreand they did a good job overall. The preparation and the paint application were well done with clean lines and smooth surface. A few months later, we spotted a small area that needed fixing, and they came back to handle it at no extra cost, which was appreciated. They were professional and showed solid knowledge in their field. If you need help with your sports court, they're a reliable choice.

Center Court sports recently redid a sport court that we have in our backyard. We were a little…read moreconcerned because we were not just redoing the court but we were converting a basketball and tennis court to a pickle ball court, which of course is a different size. Alister from Center Court helped us choose the new colors and personally spent a lot of time supervising his team throughout the work project. We are very happy with the results. The colors he helped us choose Are perfect. No glossy reflections that could interrupt our playing time and they look great from afar as well! I would highly recommend Alister and Center Court sports to prospective clients. Jeff F.

So, I was like Pickleball !?! What the heck is Pickleball? Well I knew I must find out…read more Albany I would say is a pretty far drive from where I am in Oakland considering the traffic on 80 (pretty much all the time) but for a Tuesday night during commute hours it wasn't half bad and was definitely worth the trip. So a note about the location, the tennis courts are located back behind the baseball field. The baseball field you can see from the street, the tennis courts you can not. So if you're heading off the freeway on Buchanan the parking lot entrance is right after the Dept of Agriculture driveway. Being that it is a bit hidden I ended up getting stuck behind the place in a large housing complex with a ton of stop signs and had to end up driving all the way back to Gilman in order to circle the block. Back to Pickleball - So I would describe Pickleball as sort of a human size ping-ball game. You have pretty much the same looking paddles only bigger (larger than badminton but smaller than tennis rackets). You play with a wiffle ball, which makes the game interesting when a gust of wind brings your ball to a screeching halt or makes it completely change directions. It's also not as difficult to hit, well strength wise, as a tennis ball so my arm didn't get as tired as when I play tennis (not that I ever play tennis). The game is pretty easy to pick up, some simple serving rules, some directions on the order of who serves (which took me a little extra time to figure out) and of course you have to keep the ball in the lines on the court. Overall real simple to learn and loads of fun. Everyone there was really welcoming and fun to play against. I don't know what it will be like next week but most of the people who showed up were new to the game. I will be back next week and will keep an eye out at the thrifts/sporting good stores to see if I can pick myself my very own official Pickleball racket. They are there every Tuesday (except when it rains) from 6 - dusk (7:30?) $5 Drop-in Fee for Adults, $3 for seniors, $2 paddle rental

Pickleball? The ball is a fortified whiffle ball. Racquets-paddles: are like racketball,but solid…read moreguts like ping pong. Court is bout the dimensions of singles tennis with baseline about where the end of the service line is. Rules too complicated to lay out here. But if you have ever picked up a badminton, tennis, squash, ping pong racquets and are half way coordinated, this is a fun game for all ages, levels of endurance, and skills. Even if you never played before, which is me, you will pick it up quick and the regulars who come out are so sweet and helpful. I like the outdoor venue, yet to try inside. After an hour if you try you can break a nice little sweat. Bill the instructor supper helpful. All you need is $7 bucks a head To rent a paddle, several to choose from and plenty of pick up games. When it's really busy Bill assembles two additional courts behind the baselines of the two tennis courts so you have 4 games of doubles at once. Just remember to keep you pickle out of the kitchen... you will have to play to understand that one.
