Going out after each game with my teammates is great. I've also gotten to know players of other team. I'm looking forward to other events that S3 is offering and next season. I know once softball comes back around I will be signing up for that, too. I also want to mention that communication with Jess has been amazing. She is very responsive to questions and concerns. Even in the beginning she made sure we all knew what was going on before games started for the season.

I signed up for the Softball league beginning April 23 2023 on Tuesdays after attending a social…read moreevent, where I got the opportunity to meet a couple of other folks who were interested. Despite registering on time and paying the full amount (referral coupon s3friends did not work), I was not added to the mailing list and not assigned any team, and had no direction on where/how to proceed. I tried calling the numbers listed on the Facebook/Instagram pages for further information, but the calls never went through. I then reached out via email following the first week of play, but received no response. Finally, I reached out to the phone number (listed as s3 leagues corp.) on my payment receipt only to get an irritated response from the organizer asking me not to contact her on her personal cell phone. Repeated follow ups produced delayed and shallow email responses. After this entire ordeal, I was not added to the mailing list and was not notified of the cancellation during the rain out last week. I finally got fed up of such inconsideration and asked for a refund, to which I received no response. Last I checked, I have been blocked from the Instagram page for following up on the matter. This has been a terrible experience for me because at one point, I was eager to join this league and meet new people and make friends in the same manner that I did in the social meetup prior. The organizer of this group, Jessica, has proven to be incompetent, inconsiderate and disrespectful, and I would certainly not have even thought about joining this group had I known that she was the one behind the scenes.

The gym we played in is scheduled to be demolished at the end of this year. The school we ayes at…read moreis called the king school located at 815 Cambridge st. The gym floor is used recreationally throughout the day by elementary school children for their gym class. Each side of the court has completely different rims (one is double rimmed and one is not)....the floor is also completely warn and don't allow for quick stop and go play....this gym simply benefits the team that hits the most jump shots. It's equally as hard to drive as it is to defend against it; again, because of how slippery the floor is. Post game write ups and stats are inconsistent, inaccurate, and often times delayed for all leagues but the top one. Don't expect anything impressive/on time. Post season play is rushed to allow time for the upcoming spring/summer session. This resulted in almost non existent updates for existing leagues. In terms of timing of games...playoffs were planned on an adhoc, on the go basis to accommodate those who run the league. This league is not worth the money unless you are in the most competitive league. The guys who run this league clearly don't consider the fact that we all pay the same amount to be a part of the CACbasketball league and expect to be treated like it. My advice for anyone who chooses to play in this league -Go in with low expectations and understand going into it that you are overpaying for an under delivered service offering.

This is truly a great basketball league. There are several different competitive levels that can…read morefit any skill level. What makes this league unique from BSSC and the others is the website. The infamous Bfab and Tibbs do a great job posting every players stats, game lines, previews, game summaries, and orchestrate All-Star games at the end of the season.

Since my first review of SBS, I've participated in 2 Fit Leagues, the 90's themed "Saved by the…read moreBoat" cruise, and am currently in a Softball League. I've had a great time at SBS leagues and events, and highly recommend them! The Fit League is basically a boot camp while competing against other teams of people for who's fitness level improves the most. The sessions I attended for that were both at Boston Athletic Club and the trainers were great - motivating & pushing your work out, but not at the expense of anyone getting hurt. My teammates were really friendly, and you could often find us relaxing at the bar in the gym after a workout. (SBS is serious about the "social" part of it's name.) The Saved by the Boat cruise was a 3 hour "booze cruise" type event in Boston Harbor. I enjoyed the music, but was sad the DJ didn't play my requests for MMMBop by Hanson or the Marcarana. I'm not a big drinker, so I wish the bar lines weren't so long that they stretched onto the dance floor. The Softball League I'm in plays Tuesday nights at Teddy Ebersol's Fields (off of Storrow Drive) in Boston. It's my 1st time playing softball, so I worried the team would be too competitive for me. That couldn't be farther from the truth. Everyone is very friendly & welcoming. The "veterans" give helpful tips on batting, but don't get mad at anyone who strikes out. While on the bench, the team stays very engaged - cheering for our players batting or making a fielding play. The games are such fun nights out that I'm planning on joining another SBS league when this one is over. If you're looking for a fun way to get out and meet new people, come to an SBS event or join one of their leagues. You will be pleasantly surprised by how welcoming other participants & SBS staff will be.

Half of a League…read more Joined a basketball league in Cambridge. The league operator or whatever struggled to get guys in the league. Instead of waiting and refunding us because he was stuck at 3 teams for over a week. He begged us to ask if people wanted to join the league. Ok so we're able to scrape a couple guys together. We have a "full" league now. 2 teams all free agents, and 2 actual teams. Except of the 2 F.A. teams 1 team has 5 players and the other has 7. Meanwhile the other 2 teams in the league have full rosters, literally at least 10 players each. Ok whatever bad luck of the draw but whatever. Except the gym doubles as a soup kitchen, auditorium for a school play, (unfortunately, and with all respect) a wake was held there, Literally this was the smallest most ridiculous court I've ever seen. On top of the fact that it hadn't been cleaned in a solid 2 years, so extremely slippery. Fast forward the league saw 3 injuries all because of lack of traction. Then in the makeshift playoffs, everyone is hustled out of surprise ref fees, and scorekeeper fees. (never heard of a score keeper fee EVER) But more importantly It says in the rules F.A. Teams do not pay ref fees. But in order to play our playoff game 5 vs 4 might I add, we had to pay the ref and score keeper fee. Don't mess with their B-Ball leagues, they seem to just be a money grab. I requested a refund for my playoff game. Lets see if the shady guy writes me back. He didn't have a problem emailing me when he was asking me to help fill up his half a league. But WE'LL SEE. 4 teams, 1 severely unfilled, Weird refs, and terrible court.

You can definitely sign a contract, but it's not required and i like that i've never been pressured into taking a contract. CSB is located on the 2nd level of the beacon hill athletic club in the north station location. it's pretty rad because when you join CSB, you also have full access to the normal gym to do your thang if you're into it. the classes and trainers have been great. maybe it was just a vegas thing, but the people going to these gyms in vegas always seemed verrrrrry douchey and more concerned with looking "tough" rather than getting technique down and getting into better shape. i don't get the douche vibe at all here, the trainers are very real, and care about 2 things, your safety and getting your technique to improve. students alike have been very cool, there's a good mix of people just starting out, competition level students, and everything in between. everyone's eager to help, and no one makes you feel stupid or intimiated if you're just starting out or are new to one of the arts. i haven't had anything but good experiences here thus far, just wish they would add krav maga so i could try that too :)

I go…read moreoccasionally on Tuesdays for blitz games, and use to go for a month-long Swiss on Thursdays, but now I mostly restrict myself to a Wednesday-night rapid (g/30) quad (or swiss, depending on the turn-out). It is hard to find a chess club where you don't run into one of the fixtures in the chess world -- the narrow-minded eccentric who lives and breathes for the game and spends all night channeling Robert Fischer -- and although BCC is no exception, for the most part you will find yourself facing off against friendly, sociable, and very adept, experienced players. The tournaments are usually well-attended (although recently attendance has been slowing down on my favorite Wednesday night rapid), and another draw is that BCC is home to a bona-fide chess celebrity (whom I have never met personally), Larry Christiansen. All-in-all, chess players of all levels are bound to find satisfaction at the BCC.

While the indulgent (read: librarians) will continue to wallow in nostalgic dreams of analog days and leather-bound nights, digital-age powerhouses such as the Straw Dogs will continue to define the future of softball at MIT. It's clearly time to relegate the entry for this musty, dusty team to the card catalog of history. They are long overdue for check out and no amount of outstanding late fees can save them from the surplus bin. I am afraid the best they can hope for is a comfortable retirement somewhere deep in the stacks right next to the team's dog-eared, worn copy of 'Softball for Total Idiots.'
