The second sporting event I attended this weekend was the Deveroes Summer League at Woodward High…read moreSchool. Each summer, the majority of Cincinnati, Xavier, Miami, Northern Kentucky, and Dayton's basketball players play in the league, as well as other current local players and sometimes past "legends." Current NBA stars David West, Jason Maxiell, James Posey and Kenyon Martin have all played in the league, so it is a great chance to see the future of the UC and Xavier programs first hand, among other things. As a die-hard Bearcat fan, I look forward to this event each summer as a way of seeing the top returning players up close, but even more so the new guys. The biggest draw for most fans is probably that opportunity to see the incoming recruits for the first time. The actual coaches aren't allowed per NCAA rules, essentially negating any defense that may be have been played. Get ready for plenty of dunks and exciting fast-break plays though. The Woodward gym is maybe two or three years old, so it's great place to watch the games, even when the top guys aren't on the court. The players walk and sit among the fans when not out playing on the court, so it is a great opportunity for young fans to score an autograph, or for the older crowd to chat among their favorite players. The quality of basketball is nothing like what you'll see during the real college basketball season, but for a $3 donation, it's more than worth it. The league will run through July 26.

I would like to review Western Tennis & Fitness as we have been members for 15 years!! Western has…read morebeen a home away from home for us!!

Another interesting and unique place we have in Cincinnati that many don't know much about is the…read moreCincinnati Tennis Club. It has a great history and tradition, dating all the way back to 1880 (1899 at present location), and it was even added to the National Register of Historic Places a quarter century ago. While it has been years since President William Howard Taft played at the Cincinnati Tennis Club (I bet he didn't chase down too many shots), the club is still a high-end and prestigious club. The CTC has 10 outdoor clay courts and is open April through October. The club offers lessons, leagues, a tune-up tournament for the Cincinnati Met, and other tennis activities (and a pro shop) for all ages, and it once hosted the pro tournament now known as the Western & Southern Financial Group Masters, but the Cincinnati Tennis Club is mostly associated these days with hosting the USTA National Father-Son Clay Court Championships. It's a really big event that takes place each year, bringing some of the best father and son talent from around the country all the way to Cincinnati since 1974. While the CTC has a nice reputation in town, it seems that being a member at the club is a status symbol more than anything else. The membership dues aren't cheap, and if you really want to work on your tennis game and get to play year-round, while also having access to things like a fitness center, swimming pool, and more, you would be better off at a place like Harper's Point, Queen City, or Five Seasons. Sure, the club is really nice and boasts a great history, but it's more for the country club crowd than it is for families and the everyday competitive and recreational players.

I do wish they stayed open later and it's annoying that they close from 9 to 10 in between lap swim and open swim so it's like ok I guess I will just sit outside the gate for an hour.

Reservations during the week are not needed so we popped right in. Parking kinda stinks,you either park on the street or in the garage across the way. The parking lot up top does not have access to the pool (although you'd think it would). Admittance is $4 per person, whether swimming or not. Highly recommend checking online for events such as adult swim or dog swim days. Overall, clean, fun, attentive lifeguards. I did get stung by a bee, so be aware! The little guys like to hang around pools so it's not the pool's fault.

I recently moved about 15 minutes from here and have played several times this Fall. I've had…read moreenjoyable experiences every time; the staff is very friendly. I prefer to walk nine holes alone to get the exercise and focus on my game (not much of a social golfer), and they always squeeze me in somewhere. Sometimes I get caught behind slower 4-somes and have to wait a bit, but it's not a big problem. The course seems very well maintained. The teeing ground, fairways, and greens are generally in very good condition. The three different 9-hole courses (red, blue, and white, in order of length and difficulty) are helpful for keeping variety in your game. I find the course challenging enough to keep me coming back, but I'm not that good. Considering the reasonable greens-fees, I'd say this course is one of the best values around.

I HIGHLY recommend Setters Beach Volleyball as a fantastic celebration venue for your 'tweens,…read moreteens, athletic types, zingy seniors, or just anyone who loves volleyball, sand, friendly staff and affordable prices! We reserved an outdoor volleyball court for a 2-hour block of time in the afternoon - the perfect amount of time for kids to play volleyball, have pizza and cake, unwrap presents, and take pictures! Making reservations was so painless, we booked the time, showed up 15 minutes early, were able to put some birthday streamers and balloons and set up a dessert and gift table. The afternoon ended up being so blistering hot, the girls complained the sand was unbearably hot and they were quickly getting sunburned. This was no problem for the manager, she kindly let us relocate to an indoor court which was a very comfortable temperature and a great looking facility. The girls had a blast, they loved playing in the sand. The staff was very accommodating, bringing freshly baked (surprisingly tasty!) pizzas and coolers of water and replenishing drinks, allowing the girls to use their iPods for music, and lowering the nets accordingly. They don't allow outside food except for cake, which was only a nice benefit for me. It was nice having the food prepared and brought on site. The total price for the party only amounted to $12 per kid, this included the pizza, playtime, and a complementary volleyball for the kids to all sign. My husband and I both agreed that this was a stellar deal. Quite honestly, this was the most fun, stress-free, and easy birthday party we have ever done. And, the manager was awesome, she was so accommodating and friendly and wanted to make sure everyone just had a really good time. My daughter has already said she wanted to celebrate her next birthday here again, and I am totally fine with that!

I appreciate the time they take to take care of the customers by putting the right teams in the correct leagues. The atmosphere is nice and the music is very up to date.

Which is the reason I came, who's complaining? The guy working their looked like a younger kid, but he was helpful. He even came and told me when I had 10 minutes left. I am not going to complain about the price because for me baseball is worth it. It wasn't to bad. I would recommend if you just want have some batting practice. If you are looking for somewhere nicer you might want to keep looking. They also have a spot to practice pitching if you want to use it. It looked like they had balls you could use.

The staff is really kind and always asking how the practices are going. Love to this place!read more
