1 star is even too high to give for this awful league. We wanted to play in a men's league this…read moresummer, were ok with the fee stated online, and registered early. Before the first game, which was moved to a later date than stated online because they wanted to wait for another team to join (which screwed the entire scheduling over), the league came up with referee fees that needed to be paid in addition to the original fee. This was never stated anywhere and was simply made up for the referees to breath fresh air for about an hour and stand in one place the whole game. Not following the rules of soccer and concussion protocols is another issue. We emailed Ryder, the Program Manager for this league, who often did not answer emails that had simple questions from our team. His scheduling was awful, originally stating that games would be between 8-10, and then scheduled us two games at 7, knowing that adults have work on weekdays. Everything that is written online is fake, and is only used to get you to sign up. None of these people can run this league normally. During our third game of the season, half of our team could not continue and finish the game. One of these injuries is was a Torn ACL (meaning no soccer for our teammate for over a year), another was a hamstring injury for about a month, another was a groin injury for about a month. None of these injuries were even called to be a foul. The refs just stand in one spot and could not care less about what happens on the field. Our teammate said that he heard his knee pop, but did not even hear a whistle. Two games after that, our goalie saves a shot and has the ball in his hands. The other team just runs at him and kicks it out of his hands, hitting him in the head while doing so, scoring a goal after that, while our goalie is down. Do these refs even do concussion trainings, or any trainings at all? Do they know what can happen if someone gets kicked in the head? Then in the playoffs, we played a team we faced twice already. We know every player on that team already. The game is already starting late as the previous game went to penalties, but the ref calmly waits until some of their players are getting dressed. They have more than enough players to start the game, but he waits until their new players get ready. These new players don't even have the team jersey (which is required as stated online, don't have shinguards, which is also required as stated online, and have shirt colors that conflict with us). Then when they win by cheating, they go and have very very poor sportsmanship while we simply quietly go back to our bench after losing (I know sportsmanship policies are also stated online). All of these games, the ref uses very very bad and insulting language to one of our registered players who is on the sideline, who partially acts as a coach. Overall, terrible communication throughout, rules online that are not followed at all, and the league runs a month later than stated online. If you want to have fun playing soccer, please find another league. You will thank me later.

Absolutely awful soccer league and awful people to deal with…read more The league started late, finished a month later than promised. Games were cancelled. Hidden fees came out. Little communication. Emails are not answered. Referees are just there to get paid. Lots of injuries, including many serious ones, as a result. Teams cheat by bringing unregistered players for playoffs. One of our players forgot the jersey and could not play, but in the next game the other team had 4 players in different jerseys (who were brought in for the playoff game and not part of the team) and they were allowed to play. The worst league ever encountered. Find another league. And the field is very small to play soccer, because BSSC tries to fit lots of games on a small field to maximize $$$. On top of that they just change the rules to accommodate their agenda and manipulate key calls to let the teams they know players on win.

Excellent club! Great place for the squash enthusiast, people looking to learn the game, or those…read morethat occasionally like to knock the ball around. Its amenities also include a gym with weights and cardio gear, real tennis, racquets, an events hall, great locker room, and to top it off - a fantastic bar (pool table, backgammon, and darts included). This is a traditional club and the atmosphere is exactly that. The locker rooms are dimly lit, include a sitting room, and are furnished with antiques. The bar has plenty of wood panels and antique prints. But don't be fooled -- the members are not stuffy at all. This is a group of fun, easy-going, and welcoming people. Its the best place to work out in town. And perhaps the best place to get a drink.

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.

Months ago, I was looking to move my body more, and in a way that didn't feel like a complete slog. I've never liked running or hitting the gym, so I needed something that would feel more like fun to me. I knew Esh existed, and out of the blue it hit me that mayyyybe I could take classes there. That was almost 3 months ago, and I started with 1 class per week. Now, I am up to 2 classes each week and I am considering upping it to 3 classes a week in the fall. The people who work at/take classes at Esh are kind, supportive, and there are many ways to learn new things while taking it at your own pace. There are so many different class offerings - everything from tumbling to contortion, plus aerial arts and much more. If you want to give it a try without the commitment, there are drop-in classes as available, as well as some taster classes and private lessons.

I have never been so disrespected before speaking with a front staff member called Rhonda today!!…read moreIt seems according to her that non-members are second class citizens and don't matter to this club. She was at the front desk when I called at around 3. I had called to schedule a tennis court appointment for Monday and she said that non-members can only schedule a court the same day. I booked 2 courts in the last couple of weeks, paid 60 for one hour each because I am a non member, and have already played there booking 2 days in advance MULTIPLE TIMES. I told her I have already played there, and she said that it was not true, and said whoever let me do that shouldn't have in the rudest street-like manner. However before I was told by others from the front that we could book 2 days in advance to do that and I did! Then she screamed at me, telling me that "we put members first!", and I told her that all types of members count and that she is discriminating against me. She then rudely said she didn't have time to speak with me since there were members there and loudly hung the phone up on my face, she acting like a child. Someone with a bad attitude and a short fuse should not be working since they can't treat customers right. I am your clientele WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT. Period. If you don't respect your non-members, then why don't you give me back what I paid??? Exactly.... I called again quickly and she said again this is Rhonda and I asked her if this is Rhonda. She then denied this was Rhonda though she obviously is. (What a joke) I also asked for the manager and she said there is no manager other than her. I'm not stupid, she is acting like condescending trash. She then started yelling at me again. I was the wrong person to be on the other side of this exchange. She should absolutely be reprimanded for treating non-members like this!!!!!!! I reached out to both the general and assistant general managers. If you are not currently part of this club, DO NOT SIGN UP. They treat people badly like this, but gladly take your money for rentals. You are in customer service when you work at a desk, ACT LIKE IT. ALL CUSTOMERS are king, not just some!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I played on the Saturday league for NTL for five or six seasons. Awesome experience. The culture…read morethat Steve and Adam have developed is really special. Supportive, fun, inclusive. There are really talented players who play, and there are not as talented players who play. The good players share the ball, support their teammates, share minutes. It's pretty awesome. The Saturday league games have a scores table, and they keep track of points, assists, rebounds, shots, 3-pointers -- a typical box score for each game (usually about 80 percent accurate, ha!), but you get a stat line for each game and for the season. Adam is usually a one-man crew refereeing and he does a great job. Unfortunately people do still complain. Competitive, fun, supportive, relaxed environment. I met a lot of great people and great basketball players. I regret that I had to move to a new city and can't play any more, but thanks to Steve and Adam for this great league and some good fun competitive basketball! Oh, and if you're a female looking to ball, it's co-ed!
