Absolutely the worst ownership of any business I have dealt with. No refunds even with more than 30 days advance notice. Do not try them out or you are locked in.

It’s not conducive for volleyball play. The ceilings are way too low, it’s loud and you don’t know which courts whistle blew (a number of times players stopped because they thought it was their court), and the courts are all in a line (with no nets dividing) so balls from other courts are constantly coming over impeding play (especially when they’re warming up). It’s just a bad setup and the facility isn’t made for volleyball.

The seats are limited but the harder part is walking around because there is no room. They don't allow you to bring food in and say you can buy it from them but their options are minimal and not good.

I wouldn’t recommend to anybody! Coaches are horrible! Most of the time you will end up with a student coaching. Cliques are worse there than high school. Don’t want my daughter to ever walk in there again. And plan on paying big money for this treatment!

Youth basketball at Play It Now is a joke. You are basically paying for an open gym session where no direction is given, no skills are taught, and the kids play street ball for 45 minutes. Not worth it.

Unfortunately Play it now sports that hosts Hot Shotz is extremely lacking. Lacking in direction, lacking in consistency, lacking in quality, lacking in communication and is a mad house. Look elsewhere if you wish for your child to grow in skill’s because this is not the place.

Made some jokes that were very politically incorrect. They didn't laugh. Dude at the front desk is obsessed with sponsorships from dollar store franchises and doesn't stock enough sunkist. Overall it's been a pleasant experience as more and more regional franchises look to establish business relations with this facility. Brenda was very nice but naive about geo-political issues affecting the Asian continent. Let's Go Brenda!

Very easy too set up and play competitive volleyball games . We are currently doing league and have very fair /even opponents. Bathrooms, sport drinks and even a dedicated court for soccer!

Update 4/2022Visited again, and you have to enter from the side facing Academy since the front half of the building is for a church now.They still have an indoor soccer field plus had 3 volleyball games going on while we were there. Not as much space as before, but they still have enough!(Masks no longer required.)*******Visited in the past for birthday parties. This visit was for an indoor easter egg hunt. Spacious fields allowing for some distancing, although still was fairly crowded. Would visit again if a smaller gathering.Fyi, no food or drink allowed inside, and masks must be worn continually.
