Facility=A++, Soccer=A, Volleyball=F...This facility houses many sports programs. Kudos to Play It Now Sports (PINS) for providing a facility for new, old, and upcoming athletes to explore a different array of sports and allowing the local sport clubs to train at your facility. I can personally speak on experience on behalf of the adult volleyball club, youth volleyball club, and soccer program. The organization and coordination of the adult programs makes PINS an ideal spot for those interested in baseball and volleyball. Pride soccer holds skills camps during the winter months making this indoor facility an ideal training location with its spacious fields. Hot Shotz Volleyball club uses PINS as its home site as well. Hot Shotz is lucky to have a facility that hosts such a poorly managed club. This is a volleyball club that hires first year coaches with minimal experience and provides them with NO mentor-ship, education, or training. I paid for one-on-one sessions for my volleyball player with the director. I was rescheduled over and over and still have not received all ten sessions. It has been two years now. This is a great hosting facility site, but do your research on the clubs that provide sessions here.

This place is a dump. They are unorganized and the staff is rude as hell. They cancelled our first practice before we even got started. When the second practice came and I asked why they had two age groups practicing on a tiny court the staff member told me they forgot to setup a second court. When I told her it didn’t seem safe to have so many kids running full speed in such a small area she told me to take an f-ing chill pill and stormed off. Then when I asked the person at the desk for a refund they refused at first and then gave me a partial refund.

I would say this place is mediocre; however because of my daughter's soccer coach, I give you 5 stars. Coach Izzy has to be one of the most mature, caring, responsible, and best workers I have witnessed. One specific memory I can recall is when my daughter fell and scraped her knee, and Coach Izzy was right on top of it, and treated my sweet daughter with kindness, while still being on top of things with the other kids. Hopefully Play it Now Sports knows what a great employee they have.

I was not impressed with Safari soccer. Coaches are eager and willing, but lack vital training in the basics of developmental soccer.Leadership needs to take a more active role in developing their coaches and mentoring new coaches for success.I was chewed out after observing several unsafe practices and asking, quite nicely, if the coach would reinforce safer practices. Many children were playing without even basic safety equipment, i.e. shin guards.The soccer club/league does not follow division guidelines in their age groupings or in following recommended child to coach ratios. There were young two in the same group as four year olds turning five.One of the major reasons for having a governing coalition outlining best practices, is in safeguarding players and new/young coaches from this type of environment.

We love Play it Now Sports! We have been going here year round and the kids love it! They have gotten to do Soccer, Basketball, Baseball, Volleyball and there is so much more they have to offer. Hubby played indoor softball there too! Don't let the outdoor sports with the weather hinder you from playing sports or getting the kids involved - Come Join Us! Chris and Jill are great and all the staff is so knowledgeable and friendly and the kids love the coaches! Thank you for all your hard work and all that you guys do for our kiddos! =0)

It's good for young kids who want to have fun, but if you want your kids' skills to improve I would advise looking elsewhere. There are too many kids for the one coach who is as slow as molasses. After three hour and a half long practices I see no improvement at all. Waste of time and money.

They converted an old store into an open gym . They offer indoor softball,soccer,basketball,archery dance and other activities. They are heavily into volleyball. The staff is friendly. Once you know where the building is located it's easy to remember.

PINS has been a great facility for my daughters to play volleyball. My youngest has been on the developmental for the past two years and has learned so much from her coaches. There is always a chair or room on the bleachers to sit and watch, plus there is extra floor space if you would like to bring your own chair. My older daughter has played at PINS with the club Hot Shotz for four years and has had excellent coaches and experiences. We travel all over the state and I can say PINS is by far the best facility! The Hot Shotz coaches go above and beyond to help my daughter grow in the sport! I would highly recommend Hot Shotz and PINS to anyone wanting to play volleyball!

We joined the HotShotz volleyball program last year after playing in a different club and we are very impressed by the program: 3 practices per week, high level competition on RMR USA volleyball and extra national qualification tournaments. in plus open gyms and conditioning camps. All this at a very reasonable cost for the value provided. Great coaches and assistant coaches. The facility is great and is improving all the time. we have been 100% satisfied!
