"I feel like a number I'm not a number…read moreDammit I'm a man" (Bob Seger) We didn't visit the Oakwood Sports Center to run on their 40,000 square feet of turf fields, bounce a ball on their 30,000 square feet of basketball/volleyball courts, smash a forehand on one of their 6 pickleball courts, or workout somewhere on their 5,000 square feet of turf for strength and conditioning training. Oh no, we were there to check out the sixty-five home repair and maintenance exhibitors at the Hartford Home Show. The exhibitors represented a very wide cross section of things a homeowner has to deal with. Want some examples? Of course you do. Here's a few samples of the vendor categories (and you might want to take a deep breath before you read this). Kitchens, Bathrooms, Windows, Roofing, Siding, Landscaping, Gutters, Solar, Decks, Dormers, Sunrooms, Awnings, Basements, Doors, Fences, Flooring, Pavers, Waterproofing, Heating & Air Conditioning, Plumbing, Garage Doors, Painting, Custom Woodworking, Skylights, Security Systems, Tree Service, Chimney Services, Energy Conservation, Insulation, Lawn Care, Liquid Vinyl Coating, Mattresses, Furniture Refinishing, Millwork, Storage Facilities, Real Estate Sales, Mold Remediation, Power Washing, and Wireless Internet Services. I guess that covers everything except nosy neighbors. The Home Show was inside a large open area where we walked up and down the aisles and answered the same questions countless times about the condition of our roof and gutters. We checked out the rest of the facility, and saw they had a full bar, food service, and a nice seating area overlooking the indoor athletic fields where youth leagues were going at it. Oakwood Sports Center really is quite an impressive facility.

James Perkins of Elite Soccer Performance is the best coach and trainer my daughter has ever worked…read morewith. As a strong travel soccer player my nine year old daughter wanted to improve her game enough to earn a spot on a premiere team. She worked with James weekly throughout the summer and in August attended try outs for one of the most competitive teams in the state. When I saw the drills they judged her on at try outs I knew without a doubt that she would not have had a chance of making the team if she had not worked with James. She was offered a spot on the premiere team and has continued to work with James on her speed and footwork. Everyone who has watched her play is amazed at the improvement she has made working with James Perkins. He is truly amazing.

James is fantastic with my daughter and I can see her confidence on the ball and her skill develop after each session to where she uses it on the field and has success!

They offer a variety of Soccer fundemental training programs throughout the year for all types of skill sets, they also have Soccer tournaments throughout the year to play in if you'd like.
