Scholar Athletics

Love playing ball here. Bathrooms are not maintained (lights don’t work, towel rod falls off the wall) and the vending machine charged me $5 for a drink that I couldn’t get. Everything in the machine is $1.50-2.00. For some reason my card got charged 5 and the machine didn’t work. Nobody to talk to about a refund or to fix it. Other than that my friends and I always have a good time here

Good place to play ball

A nice smile spot My sone had AAU practice there

Shoot out and drug deals held here.

Derrick contracted me to install a partition to divide the gym for half court play. Working with him was a pleasure, he was creative, and excited to bring new positive changes to his gym.

My two sons reserved the court for 2 hours 10pm-12am ($80.00). This was their second visit. When they arrived there were still guys playing on the court (they didn't experience this their first time). My oldest son called the owner, Derek, and informed him that there were still a lot of guys playing on the court, and Derek told him to find "the person/persons" who rented it out prior to them and let them know that their time was up. My son's said they were not comfortable doing that and did not know who "the person/persons" were as there were several guys playing. My son's decided to leave since they had witnessed and overheard confrontation while they were there. Since they were disappointed, I called and spoke with Derek this morning and he made it clear to me that this is their normal protocol, and that there are not any staff present to oversee matters like this (I just learned of this). He told me that nothing has ever happened before and he knew the guys that were playing were all "good kids". However, my sons did not know them and only Derek can vouch for those guys being "good kids". It is 2021 and we have all witnessed senseless crimes with our African American males. It's a first time for everything and we don't know what may have happened if my son's had asked them to leave. Not to mention, there is also no security on staff (I just learned of this) so anything is possible. I asked if they could either reschedule or receive a full refund since they were not able to play. Derek did not agree with me. With that being said, Pay and Play at your own risk!

The 5 star reviews must be from when the owner first started the gym. I played pickup ball there recently. There is no air flow so condensation keeps the floor wet while you're playing. Bathrooms aren't kept clean. Ceiling leaks when it rains.

Great facility and best court in the city!!

It's an okay facility. Not alot of places to sit for parents who stay and watch their kids practice. The one restroom in there is needs cleaning everytime we go and that's once our twice a week.

Good facility for practice or pickup games. Owner Derek is very friendly and professional. He knows the game and how to motivate young people.
