The Brooklyn Basketball Training Center is by far one of the best indoor basketball facilities you…read morecan visit if you love the game. The gym is very spacious, and you never know who you might run into during an event. I had the opportunity to play alongside Ziaire Williams and former Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso, which made for a memorable experience. I also got a chance to play with a few coaches from the New York Liberty organization. The event was a lot of fun, and afterward everyone enjoyed pizza and spent time connecting with one another. The kids who participated were respectful, engaged, and great to be around. Whether you're attending a community event, training, or just enjoying the game, the Brooklyn Basketball Training Center is a fantastic place for basketball players and fans alike.

In fact, I was lucky enough to stop by right after they had a competition so there were both regular and comp climbs up. The community was also very welcoming (as the climbing community should be) with people encouraging and supporting each other. It's located close to a live poultry shop. Basic Brooklyn vibes. I would 100% come back. Finally the staff were super kind to me. My friend who lives in Ny just wanted to come to support me and they just asked her to sign the waiver and she came to chat.

They have multiple levels and for the auto belays and bouldering. They also have a little store for chalk and shoes and other needs but also rentals are inexpensive. I truly love this place and have bought many friends here they run special promotions on different days.

The poor wouldn't like using this facility, but the Ridgewood…read more This is a pretty cool YMCA, and the main problem here is parking. Also it's a little bit cramped and gets a little bit busy in some regards but overall I like the place and they think it's a good gym - better than a lot of the ones in Queens and Brooklyn as well. Not as lavish and fancy as Manhattan but then you wouldn't expect to be. They've done a good job for Ridgewood and if they just had some great parking then I would probably give them five stars. Fairly new equipment across the board kind of like mine. I parked illegally for 3 hours and nothing happened to my car, but the fact that there was no legal parking (and I looked for a long time) is the only reason I can't give 5. One of the employees had a crush on me, and it was mutual. She gets 5, easy. I guess I'm easy, too.

When I first heard that an indoor turf facility was opening in Williamsburg, I contacted the owner…read moreabout starting a women's league which turned out to be a terrible experience (more on that below), but first, a few notes on the facility: The field is tiny. 5 v 5 games are super tight and the ball is constantly ricocheting off players. The walls are padded which helps prevent injury, but then the ball doesn't actually bounce off the walls, instead it often ends up dying near them. The turf is enclosed with a net which makes me feel like I'm in a cage. My knees always hurt after playing there--makes me wonder, what's underneath the turf? Pickup games run $15/hour which is a lot more than other pickup games in the city. Meetup.com has dozens of cheaper options if you're looking. My experience playing in a league here was truly awful. As I mentioned, I contacted the co-owner about starting a women's league. He said he had plans to start one and asked me to help spread the word. I contacted all of the women's leagues I've played in in NYC. Registration opened in December and my squad quickly paid our dues ($180/player--around $40-30 more than the usual league fees). The start time was pushed back several times because they had trouble securing teams. One of the staff told me that the league was going to be canceled but then a few hours later we were told we could have an exhibition match in two days if we wanted to, which was very confusing. At that point, a lot of us had already made plans--especially since we were told the league was most likely being canceled. A few days later, we were told that 2 more teams had registered, and I found out via the coach and players on these teams that they were given reduced rates. Some of the players allegedly did not have to pay at all. I asked the co-owner about this and he promised me in an email that "all players will pay the same fee at the end of the day." At this point, they should have refunded our league fees and set up an all-women's pickup to drum up interest in the league, but this didn't happen. The night of our first match, the co-owner asked the team if we would be OK moving games up to 7PM (games were supposed to start at 7:30). We told him that we wouldn't be able to make an earlier start time so he agreed to stick to 7:30. A few days later, they posted the rest of the schedule and it turns out some of our games would start at 7 which would mean some of our players might miss close to half of the games. I wrote the co-owner an email asking if he could adjust the schedule and when one of his staff replied, a very rude email written by the co-owner was included in the exchange: Can you calm this person down tonight, once and for all!? Also: please don't be apologetic to her at all! I read through your emails to her and she is the sort of person who seizes upon hemming and hawing and apologies. Be firm. Not impolite. But firm. At this point, I asked for a refund because I no longer felt welcome playing in a facility owned by a person with such a poor opinion of me. While I'm willing to give a new business some leeway while they sort out how to communicate with customers, The Pitch's policies re: dealing with customer's issues are very unprofessional. The co-owner later followed up with an email in which he refused to apologize for what he said--he only apologized that I had to see his email. He also said that I had misunderstood his terminology because he was using "the British way of saying to sort something or someone out." (Note: this person is not British and anyone who has spent time with the British knows that apologizing is a very British thing to do.) The Pitch has refused to give me a refund and thus I am out $180. When I entered a team into the league, I brought with me 7 paying players, and the other teams that registered came from one of the leagues I reached out to. In the end, my efforts meant very little to The Pitch. Despite the fact that they do not think I am entitled to a refund, I have been told that they also will not let my team bring in a sub without the sub paying a pricey registration fee and $10/match. Long story short, don't waste your time and money at The Pitch. NYC has tons of parks and green space where you can play soccer for free or for a very affordable price.

The indoor turf field is extremely well taken care of and Matt and Greg are absolutely fantastic. I've also made a ton of new friends while at the Pitch and we are forming a 4v4 summer team there. The Pitch has honestly been one of my favorite places since I moved to NY and I really look forward to playing there every time I go. P.S. Don't listen to the review before mine because it is full of complaints with no merit. The field is not tiny (especially for an indoor turf field), the ball does bounce off the wall (maybe you just have a weak leg), every turf field has beads under it (former college football player, it's a fact), and, yes, the field is caged so that the ball doesn't fly off the field (if you are playing indoors anywhere, you are technically caged, but then again that's besides the point because the whole post was full of misstatements). Sounds like a salty person who makes generalizations about everything, including all British people being apologetic, and doesn't look at the facts. I wouldn't have taken the time to write my review or defend The Pitch against the other review if the place wasn't worth it. I have truly enjoyed playing here and recommend it for anyone, including women. The ownership is great and refunded me when a pickup game got cancelled. Really happy I found The Pitch and it has made my move to Brooklyn awesome.
