A very nice place to play volleyball. They offer a variety of different levels and it's open 7 days a week! There is plenty of seating and the owner offers snacks and drinks.Definitely kid friendly !!The only downfall about this place are the super late (940) game times, the roof leaks and the lights need to be replaced.I have been playing at PINS for over 5 years and the owner does his best to work with you if you need certain times!!

We specifically signed up to be coached by coach Sara. Her passion, talent, and desire for these kids to learn, improve and build confidence in themselves is like none I have seen in your program prior. Coach Sara has impacted many around her team and outside her team! We have had players sign up with the play it now sports with the hope of being coached by coach Sara. As this is not our first season with the developmental program and watched coaching to be highly inconsistent besides coach Sara. We had multiple in counters in games and practices where the “coaches” were too busy talking and being on their phones to coach or show any dedication to these kids. I observed many of their “coaches” yell and not coach to these kids. One game the “coach” Being the refs was so involved with her friends she wasn’t even paying attention but then would yell at the kids when they tried to make a change! However, we returned with the expectation of being with coach Sara. Coach Sara is a dedicated coach to all the kids she comes in to contact, she has their best interest in them, build confidence in them with all her skills and talents. Coach Sara ensured these kids were being taught to improve and not stand stagnant! The fact of the matter is that due to these kids finding a love in volleyball is not just all of it, it comes with coach staff as well. Not only the previous season we had brought to your attention the fact of one of your “coaches” was screaming at the kids and not even paying attention to the game but it happened multiple times. You had someone who gave it their all, cared, dedication to the sport and to the kids! I would suggest looking at your coaching staff and ensuring they all have the dedication Coach Sara has for the love of the game and these kids.

This is a review from a middle school student opinion. So play it now sports was really helpful when I was first learning how to play volleyball but now i’ve joined my school team and made B team. After the volleyball season I asked my mom to join play it now to keep maintained. But it developmental actually doesn’t help you it makes you worst. So I recommend you to join the club team or not waste your money on developmental

The volleyball developmental league and summer camps were great to prepare our daughter to transition to a club team with Hot Shotz. There are a lot of kids in the gym, but that only speaks to the popularity of the program. Our daughter absolutely loves PINS and we would recommend the developmental volleyball program for any kid looking to improve their skill set. The recent construction and upgrades are outstanding and add to our family's enjoyment of watching the kids play. Well done PINS!

Staff is nice and courteous. Things are organized for having so many kids playing sports at the same time. My kids enjoy playing volleyball here and are treated with respect. Great place for beginners.

I tried to reach out in multiple formats to the facility for over a week. Could not get in contact with anybody to cancel a class for my two kids. Finally got in touch with somebody the day of the class and the woman on the phone was very rude to me for no reason at all. She wouldn't even take the time to explain to me a question I had on the website. She told me she "didn't have time for this". If she didn't have time to answer one simple question on the phone when I have been trying to contact them by email and voicemail for over a week, then they just don't care about their paying customers. We have taken classes here before but I will definitely not continue now. Their facility is dirty, overcrowded and the staff is rude.

We came from Denver for a tournament This is the worst Volleyball establishment we have ever been to. Very dirty, the floor is uneven very unsafe. The front door lady is so clueless on everything and has such a power trip it's a recipe for disaster. Not to mention so many health restrictions not being followed..

Oh how I miss the overflowing gym atmosphere with games in every area and children running everywhere. PINS has always focused on sports, family and fun! Even now in the pandemic they strive to offer a healthy social outlet for people while following Covid guidelines! Hard Ballance,Thank you!

Highly disappointed. We spoke with the owner about us being military and receiving orders (*out of our control)after paying for Volleyball and they won't refund us. We were told call back after 1st of the year due to covid now they say they can't help us after contacting them several times. Not military friendly to say the least.

I love playing volleyball here!! The adult leagues are great - I played through high school & a bit in college & playing 4s even in the B league is competitive and fun. The owner & manager are always pleasant & they never get on my case for cursing during games 😆 I’m passionate, it’s fine. Can not recommend this place enough! I currently participate in 2 leagues & I always have a great time!
