We are starting our second year with Hot Shotz. Our daughter played on the developmental program before learning about the club program. We are very happy with the facility and great coaching! She was on two other local club teams before finding Hot Shotz, through their developmental program. The experience with both the other clubs was very unorganized with no opportunity for extra practice, questionable coaching and limited time at a facility. We are very happy with Hot Shotz! They have great coaching, opportunities to improve skills with ongoing communication and organization -- all with a facility to call "home".

Where do I begin... The website states that the athletes will get a practice shirt "plus" the game jersey. After the last game, they demanded the athletes return the jerseys. When called out on what their website says the owners wife said that they have been meaning to change that and the athletes were not allowed to keep them. Although Play it Now Sports is a great place to try multiple different sports, I wouldn't say that it is the best option for an athlete to hone their skills. The cost ($280) was a great rate for what we thought we were getting, only to find out that we weren't actually getting what we thought... so this will be a one time expensive / experience and I hope that others have a better experience.

My daughter has developed her volleyball skills to a much higher level. After a terrible experience with another volleyball club, the staff at Play it now, took the time to give her back her confidence so that she was able to make another team. Thanks PINS.

PINS is a great place to have your children try out multiple sports in an encouraging environment. They have helped my daughter stay in shape during the off-season for multiple sports. You can join various leagues, attend skills camps, try a new sport, host a party, reserve practice space for a team, or play for their club volleyball team, Hot Shotz. We have always appreciated the time taken before and after sports camps and club seasons for individual interaction with our daughter.

Had our son's birthday party here tonight and had an incredible time! Two hours, up to 20 kids, and incredibly reasonable-he picked two sports to play and didn't stop moving! The staff was very friendly and great with the kids.Will recommend to my friends and family and will definitely be back!

We have been going to Play It Now Sports for four years. Our club volleyball team plays there and have always had a positive experience. Having traveled across many states in the club arena, PINS is very attractive offering clean bathroom facilities, adequate seating for those viewing sports, seating to eat and drink in the lobby and even a variety of snacks while you wait for your kid(s) to finish their sport/activity. I would highly recommend PINS for your indoor activities all year long (especially in the CO climate)!

We are going on our 3rd year of our daughter playing volleyball at PINS. From the moment I walked into the facility with my daughter who was 12 at the time, people were so friendly to us. The coaching staff is amazing and the skills my daughter has learned has enabled her to make the varsity team for high school her freshman year. We drive from Pueblo 3-4 times per week for practice and lessons. It is well worth the trip. Chris and Jill have been very friendly and nice to everyone in our family and call us by name and Kevin and Dani are incredible coaches and have the best skilled coaches assisting our girls in their absence. I highly recommend Play It Now Sports for anyone looking for a sport for their child/children and if you are looking for a club volleyball team, I cannot say enough great things about HOT SHOTZ, these players, coaches and parents have become family to all of us!

This place is a joke. First off, I sent an email shortly after signing up with a question. In 8 weeks, they never responded. The communication is terrible across the board.Beyond that, the facilities are disgusting. You can smell the stench the second you walk in. The bathrooms are even worse and there's been an out of order bathroom and water fountain the whole time we've attended. I'm sure it's been neglected for a much longer time. It's basically and old office retail center that they've minimally remodeled to form a basic, unfinished facility.We signed up for volleyball, soccer, and dance. The volleyball program is definitely where they focus, it's obvious. The dance and soccer, however, are not important it seems. They don't even offer games for soccer or any performance for the dance. This is one of the more expensive volleyball leagues in town and there's nothing that makes it any different. We would not recommend this place to anyone. 1 star for the crappy facility and ownership, 3 stars for the coaches because they do their best. So 2 stars all around.

For what we got, I feel ripped off! The facility is dirty with a VERY leaky roof! There are tarps hanging from the ceiling for crying out loud! The bathrooms are in need of repair and so is a water fountain. The coaches are YOUNG, like in high school. And don't seem to know much at all about coaching.We signed our daughter up for their developmental program for volleyball under the impression she would be taught and developed in the sport. This was not the case, I never saw the coaches go over individual moves for volleyball. It was pretty much a free for all. There was NO communication, no print out of when practices and games were or anything. Also, when we signed up, their website advertises that the players get a warm up t-shirt, spanks, and a jersey TO KEEP. However, on the last night (tonight) the owners wife demanded the jerseys back saying that they had been meaning to change the website. When told that was false advertising, she rudely gave the jerseys back but threatened that if the girls were signed back up there would be a $25 additional charge. When told they would NOT be signed up again she said "good!"I'm so disappointed! This league came recommended by our daughters coach at school to the entire team! I will definitely be informing him of our experiences! We will NEVER go back!

Hot Shotz came highly recommend to our family. The facilities are great.Our team received 2 coaches. As parents we thought that was great. This was until we realized the coaches were really really young and didn't care to actually coach the girls.All the parents complained and we were given another coach. This coach actually engaged the girls and made the 1 practice a week fun.We went to every game. The season was more like an open gym atmosphere, but it was exposure for our daughter.I would recommend this facility for families with children of ages 4 to 10.
