Did you ever go to a Renaissance Fair and look longingly at the folks who somehow picked up archery in their lives and show off their talents? Well, get yourself to a private lesson with Paul at Nova Fencing Club! In just one hour, I was shooting comfortably and managed to shoot pretty close to bull's eye a few times! Paul was really helpful and instructive - offering practical ways to improve my aim and shooting. The private lessons are a great gift idea, too! The hubby brought me here as a surprise Christmas gift. We had Paul to ourselves the whole hour. If you're wondering about COVID-19 protocols, the space is wide and big and everyone is wearing a mask (except for when you shoot because that's a hazard). I can't wait until next year's RenFair so that I can show off my new shooting ability! We're planning to come back for fencing lessons, too.

3.5 Stars: AASL has several leagues throughout the year from volleyball, softball, dodgeball,…read moreflag-football, bowling, and bar games. Each of their leagues are co-ed and have sponsor bars. You can join as an individual or as a team. (It is much cheaper to join as a team but easier to start out as an individual) The league director is Megan Shoup who is awesome and is usually out each weekend at the games just to hang out or at the bars to drink or play flip cup. PROs: All Sports are Co-ed, fun to play, seasons aren't too long, social and athletic leagues are offered, and the ref's are pretty cool! CONs: The sponsor bars are AWAYS extremely far away from the playing fields or courts & the sponsor bar specials aren't too good either. Happy Hour specials at closer bars are better than the AASL specials. - Also, team payments is required rather than individual payments when signing up as a team. Football vs Dodgeball: I have played in two seasons of flag football & two seasons of dogdeball - football is much more fun but dodgeball is not bad for the winter season. - The best part of the dodgeball season is the flipcup tourney at the end of the season. Overall: Megan Shoup has put together a Class A program on the fields & the courts but could use some help with the sponsor bars... Extra .5 stars for the Hard working Refs who put up with the crap every weekend in football! Thanks Guys!

During the weekends you'll see the pool taken over by youth swim lessons. The deck is very small/narrow. When walking you might bump into a lifeguard walking and doing their job on the deck. It feels tight. There are no high bleachers so come early to find a good spot to watch from. They do have benches surrounding the pool on the deck. The center is an older center but has all your basic needs. Locker rooms don't appear the cleanest but has showers. The shower water goes from warm to cold when more than 1 or 2 are using it.

District Sports:…read more I really have enjoyed playing soccer with District sports. I am realizing how much I miss playing soccer in the District Sports leage now in this Covid era where sports are off the table for a bit! Pros: Cost: Only about $80 for a season- not too bad, and probably breaks down to about $10 a game or less. Locations: The fields are pretty conveniently located, not too far to get to. Team captains have a say in what fields are played on, as well as the schedules of the games, and they take into account where players on the teams live. General game conditions: The fields were in good condition. Games were held on both grass and turf fields, and referees for the games seemed competent and always showed up on time. Diversity: There are lots of folks of all different ages and skill levels in this league. The league is coed. The average age is probably 28ish, if I had to guess. There are definitely more men than women in this league. Social element: There is a social element to this league. After wins, many teams go out for drinks or food. Friendships are definitely built in this league. Cons: This con is more of a pro, in some ways. Because the league is coed, but male dominated, there's a rule that asks that at least three female players be on the field at all times, for each team playing. If there are not enough girls, a team has to forfeit the win, regardless of the score. Because of this, sometimes, as a girl, when teams playing games either before or after your scheduled game are short on female players, they will ask you to play for them in their games. If you want to get some extra play in, it is very easy to play for other teams who need female players to have to not forfeit games. You also will get a lot of playing time as a girl in general, because of the way league rules are structured, and because of the general shortage of girl players.

You may want to check out what District Sports has to offer. It's one of the better run amateur adult co-ed soccer leagues. It's a great league to break into the sport. All skills levels are welcomed. There's no "side tackling" and the field is shorter, so you're likely to survive. Soccer is only the beginning. They offer indoor soccer, futsol, frisbee, 7 on 7 soccer, indoor kickball, and basketball. There's plenty to do year round with this league and the fees are very reasonable. If you can sign up with a team, or just walking a meet some new people. Everyone is incredibly friendly, great adult recreational league. And, yes, they do like to party too. Just fyi, if you're very a competitive soccer player, this isn't the league for you.
