My youngest joined an adult women's indoor team months ago and we have been coming here to watch her games. While parking can be limited based on how busy game play is there is always treat parking or across the street at businesses that aren't open at night. Inside the facility is always clean as well as the bathrooms. The games are always on time and run very efficiently. The officiating can alway use a little work but for the most part has been great. You out all those things together for a great experience. Plus the staff is always friendly when you enter the facility. This is a great indoor facility that is well run and gives the players and fans a great place to be.

It was a cool, little minor league venue. The stadium is apparently at the fairgrounds, and it does show on the periphery, but the field, seating, and the concourse in general is fine. Food and drinks were very reasonably priced. And the Hawk Nachos are one of the best nachos I've ever had. The only real complaint I could give is that they played, "everybody clap your hands" constantly. It was bad enough just as is, but even worse in a 23-5 (or something like that) blowout.

Perfectly sized, clean , reasonable prices. Ez in and out. Great way to spend an evening.read more

Called out of bounds from the other side of the field, allowed 3 tackles (it is flag!), simply on vendettas because I called them on it. If you want, play for fun. If you are playing to win, your kids will be crushed. I will not coach again. Step up your reffing, otherwise the money and time you spend will break your kids hearts. I am disgusted by their vindictive attitude. It is supposed to be for the kids, not a power trip for the refs.

I ended up volunteering to coach one of the teams, and later stepped up to coach my other sons team as they had a shortage of coaches available. Over all I would say its not a smoothly run league. While this is one of the most expensive leagues to play in, they still required sponsors to cover jerseys, etc for the kids. Additionally a lot of the admin work was pushed to the coaches, which is odd as we are all volunteers. More so, we found through the season that there was a great deal of variance between refs and games, there seemed to be a good deal of chaos, and inconsistency across the operation. Things really came to a head in our last game though. The refs were either over tired or completely distracted. We had an inadvertent whistle, when we tried to understand why we got ignored. Then the ref literally skipped downs on 3 occasions, each time we engaged the refs and were ignored. Additionally the refs did not change play direction at half time. Through out this we engaged the league director with no benefit. More concerning than the lack of care from the refs were the absolute lack of integrity of the opposing coach. Win or loose, the kids were only looking for a fair game to test their metal, and see the fruits of their work during the season. When the league director was approached afterwards, we shoulder shrugs. All the parents of the team are asking where we will be coaching next year, and it wont be at Friday night flag. Meridian PAL, Upward, Ten mile are all much better alternatives in my opinion. The one benefit of this situation was the clear lesson on integrity for the kids.

We paid lots of money and by the time we realized what this club was about, it was too late to get out of it. Our team parents offered better feedback and coaching than the actual coaches. Very sad. The owner would sit on the sidelines at tournaments and be on her phone instead of watching the teams play and being fully present. It was very disrespectful. Canned responses were given by coaches when the players asked for feedback. When you pay as much as club costs, the basic expectation is that your child will improve their skills and learn. They will be coached and be more successful on the court. I guess for our first year in club, even though our expectations were so basic - we had a bar that was too high and Rise couldn't meet it. In fact, I don't think Rise was even on the court. I would never recommend Rise Volleyball Club unless you want to waste your child's time, your time, and your money.

The coaches cause so much conflict and don't know how to do there job. Worst club experience ever.

They can't get it together, it is a huge mess and will never play or pay money to this club again.

Also this area boasts miles of paved and unpaved trails, frisbee golf, 2 churches, a cycle track, Simplot sports complex, tennis courts, storage units, a post office, 2 schools, a dental office, assisted living complex, and a nearby grocery store & shops. The area is clean, quiet & safe. Lots of great things to do. Families both young and old reside here. I've lived in the neighborhood for almost 10 years. There is an active HOA, just over $400/annually. The common landscaping areas are always very well kept. About a 20 minute drive to downtown proper. A wonderful place to live. Thank

We had the smallest team in the league and only lost to them in 4 years. The league got rid of the weight limit for the director/coach and claimed safety as the reason. Then the director/coach grandson talks shit and told me son "stay down you little bitch" and gave our smallest player (80 lbs) vs a 6'1 180 lbs kid a cheap shot way after the play and gave him a concussion. The coach/director of the league celebrated it. I would not recommend this league to anyone. Absolute clown show. Find a club team instead

The instructors are very good with keeping children focused on the activities. As a parent, I understand this is not an easy task to do for the children in the age range of 3-4 years old. All children in the class listen very well and participate in the activities for the entire 45 minutes! I am very pleased with the program here. As for the staff, I would say they are not as friendly as I expected. Maybe I'm too used to smiley and willing people in Boise? The staff there don't seem to engage in the conversation much, not to mention they lack a bit of friendliness. Regardless, I plan on keeping my kiddo in the program for a while.
