Zog is awesome. How did people make friends before this?!! I just moved to Hoboken solo mish…read moreabout 6 months ago with no family or friends anywhere close to NJ/NYC. Sad right?? Well,, don't feel too bad for me cause, I immediately hit it off with my new Kickball friends.. (Who turned out to be much more "athletic" at the bar than on the field). I figured I just got lucky cause those friends quickly became like my new family here... But since then, Ive joined Volleyball... Then the Social Sampler, then Soccer and Bowling... And as it turns out,,everyone is great! Its like Zog screens out all of the knuckleheads....so everyone is so cool and down to earth. Anyone who plays these sports know they can get as competitive as you want... But I consider myself to be more like a professional intramural athlete.. A guy who prefers a beer and friend over going to the gym so this was a perfect way for me to meet new people. I joined all fun leagues cause I just wanted to show off I still got a little left in the tank when needed.. Then hit the bar. Honestly, I think I got super lucky to meet sooo many good people in such a short amount of time... Thanks Zog for making a "new guy in town's" transition to this city so easy... I owe you guys a beer...

This league doesn't hold a candle to NYC Social…read more NYC Social is fun and encourages collaboration amongst all of the teams. They have contests at the post-game bar meet ups for things like the most team spirit and social media love where you can win credits for future games or more importantly, a bar tab. They update their rain hotline instead of making you come to the field, only to cancel the game. They have a professional photographer that comes to the game to take action shots. Their refs are actually friendly. They hold games at a reasonable hour and not 10:00 at night. They don't allow bunting. Most importantly, their fields are not in the middle of crime ridden areas. ZogSports was fun because I got to play kickball with some great friends, but they run a really poor organization. It's a shame that this is one of the only adult sports leagues in Hoboken.

This past summer, I played in a weekly kickball league that took place at Mama Johnson field. The…read morefacility is large and spacious, and there was enough room for a couple of kickball games to take place at the same time. Although the field was well-kept and ideal for kickball conditions, it's the location that really knocks off a few stars. This field is in the middle of a not-so-hot section of Hoboken. Without getting into too much detail, one of our games was cancelled last summer because a knife was thrown on to the field. Because of that experience I probably wouldn't come back to play kickball again!

The primary focus of the youth basketball academy is not limited to the game; bringing life skills, discipline, and teamwork is where the fun and love for the game evolve. The coaches are truly dedicated to the profession and they know perfectly well how to work with kids of all ages and skill levels. The basketball training given to kids is structured and designed to develop the basics of the game, formulating strategies and ensuring physical fitness. My child has not only honed in basketball skills but also boost in confidence and sportsmanship. The culture of the academy is enriching and motivating, which makes it the right place for a young athlete to come of age and rise.If you are in need of a high-quality basketball academy in NYC, I will advise you to choose Hoops Academy NYC. That is exactly what they realize; that as much as kids need to be excelling in the game, they also need to succeed life outside the court.

I have to say I am very happy so far with the experience my son is getting at Elite Skills…read moreBasketball Clinic. My son is 14 and quite tall, but he learned basketball at the park, so there were some basic fundamentals that were missing in his game, that held him back from progressing as a player. After the first, 2hr session, I saw him moving a different way. During the first game after that clinic, he was utilizing what he had just learned from Seth (head coach at Elite Skills) and even he realized that these fundamental moves worked and made him better. Even if only for a little bit. However after a bunch of points later, I saw a confidence established for him that wasnt ever present before. Kudos to Seth for getting my son to listen and learn, and realize that feeling uncomfortable during the drills, is actually him LEARNING SOMETHING NEW AND MORE IMPORTANTLY THE RIGHT WAY.

The Footy referee was more focused on reprimanding her for expressing her vocal outrage that a foul wasn't called. Mind you, she had a fractured cheek bone, bruised ribs, and a concussion. The referee laughed in her face. The other team faced no accountability. The result - she was suspended. Not like she can play any time soon due to her injuries, which may require surgery. Like other reviewers have noted, the refs can be biased, and that bias DOES result in injury. Don't join this league if you value safety.

I actually knew it when my friend first mentioned it. How could Roller Derby not be an amazing night? Our tickets said the doors opened at 6:30 but no show until 8. We showed up about 7:20, mistake #1. Note to all potential roller derby attendees, GET THERE EARLY. It was already packed by the time we showed up, and we kind of had to squeeze in to get seats. If we had been more than two people, we probably would have had to split up. Now to the action, Gotham Girls Roller Derby is no f*cking joke. These girls are out to bust some asses. And, of course, my former borough of Queens showed the Bronx who is boss. Great win, great time, count me in again. And, yeah, I totally have a crush on Suzy Hotrod.

I heard good things about zogsports but was pretty disappointed with my Sunday kickball league in…read moreCentral Park. The first part i was disappointed was the lack of communication. We were supposed to start the game on Sunday and we didn't receive a confirmation email about our roster and start times until Thursday night around 8 pm. In addition , the league did a terrible job of balancing the rosters. There were 3 teams in our coed league and one other team consisted of free agents. We had 4 girls on our team and the other team had 8 girls on theirs. Usually this is fine but league rules has it that you need at least 3 girls to play on defense and a girl has to kick once every 4 turns. Also one of our games the ref was late over an hour. Finally , they schedule double headers so the games run late. We had to call two of our games since they were running late. One we couldn't see anything in the pitch dark so we called it for a safety issue. The other game we had to end our playoff game early. We had a chance to kick since we were bottom of the inning but zogsports referee said since the Game was running late whoever scores first wins the game. Felt like we got cheated. It doesn't help that they take 30 minutes plus to explain the rules each game. They also have happy hour deals after the game but the bars are so far away it's not feasible.
