Giving this place a three bc they have a really nice turf field that we play on during the nights on weekends but it’s difficult to see when they have availability. You have to call and can’t see an active calendar for availability which is what you would expect from a place like this these days. Even when you call there are so many different individuals running different parts of the facility which gives you the feeling of complete disorganization within their ranks. It’s just such a shame Bc the facility has a lot to offer but it’s so difficult to reach out and book something with them. Their have nice staff, whenever, if you are ever able to reach them. We recently were able to book a night and had a game set up but then were told that we would have to cancel our game because they didn’t have THE STAFF available, causing a cascading issue with our group of soccer players who were ready and eager to play.In summary the facilities at this place are great but their availability, staff, and management in general is just negligent and unorganized. In my opinion it’s very unprofessional and could really use some restructuring to help facilitate things more smoothly here. I hope the owner, the staff, or whoever is in charge of making decisions is able to see this review as honest and objective criticism of the facility and does what would be right in order to change this place for the better.

I recently booked a birthday party with 5ToolTraining. From the moment I walked in I expected to be greeted with over the top smiles and energy. After all, this is a birthday party right? Well, the energy and smiles were nonexistent. If the business is going to promote being a party venue then it has to be kid friendly, starting with the staff. Over the phone I was under the impression that the party host would host the event. I dont recall our host telling the child happy birthday at all! While playing the game both young ladies were virtually silent. The children ranged in ages from 4-14 and some of the smaller children could have used some direction and encouragement from a party host. I do however remember that our game time was stopped to the exact second. Feeling rushed, we headed to the party room. Even though I was asked if I needed some help setting up, as party host it wouldve made this mom happy if they had done something interactive with the children while the children waited for myself and other parents to set up the food. Maybe a quick dance contest, simon says, or even rock paper scissors are a few suggestions. Also, once there, it took away from our play time having parents sign the waiver using only one computer. It wouldve been nice to have the employee I talked to over the phone encourage us to complete waivers online before arriving while collecting my deposit. Lastly, as the paying customer I had NO idea about my child getting a shirt as their gift. I had another parent ask me after we left because an employee asked her what size shirt my child wore. Well long story short, my child did not get their shirt and when I called back the next day I was told I could stop by and pick it up. Only problem is I live 55 minutes away. Total inconvenience!The turf area was clean and with some adjustments parties here could be a big hit. It was just a total miss for me. If Im paying for a service, I dont want to end up actually doing what Im paying for someone else to do. In the long run it wouldve made more sense for me to host this same party at a local park.

Went to a birthday party here on Saturday at 4:30 had never heard of the place and had no idea exactly what the kids would be participating in. The girl behind the desk requested for us to fill out release forms in case of injury. I asked her (while filling out the 2nd form) what the kids would be doing and she rudely replied, its for anything they do. They also had a dog behind the desk and were holding it in between text messaging on their phones.The mom told the party girl Anna that her son rode with his father and was 8 minutes away and was told they couldnt wait for him he could join the game when he arrived. It was 4:45 and they had exactly 1 hour on the field and had no time to spare.Sure enough the minute the clocked ticked to 5:45 (one hour later) the game was called as is and the guests were rushed to the party room to eat.Im not exactly sure what the party mom paid for but I hope it wasnt for a party leader because the 2 girls (Anna and the other girl) did nothing for this party. All the guests pitched in to put on tablecloths, set up food and cupcakes, and center pieces. The party girls barely called/refereed the kickball game. They did nothing in the party room except walk around with a trash bag while the guests ate and collected trash. They also offered napkins. They also reminded us that we had to be cleaned up and out by 6:30. No matter what. We didnt even have time to take a group picture and were forced to do it in the dark parking lot.The facility was clean (other than the dog). The kids really enjoyed playing the game. But that was not dependent on the place.I do not reccomend this place for a birthday. The experience would have been much better at a park or a ball field. There was no interaction from a party leader like other birthday venues. These girls were more interested in getting us gone than anything else. I never heard them tell the little boy happy birthday or even join in the birthday song. Save your money and go elsewhere. (I gave 2 stars because they collected trash and the bathrooms were clean.)

My daughter have been going here for a year now for the basketball training. The place is clean and all of the coaches are professional and friendly especially coach Larry and coach Bean 😏

Brand new, clean. Parking is horrendous though. Even the Non compact car spaces are so small. Wish theyd not tried to cram so many spots in.

Soccer fields are amazing some of the best turf fields I’ve had the the opportunity to play on. Can’t say much for the rest of the facility, but still 5 starts for the pitch from me
