If you're looking for an indoor tennis membership, Wheaton Sport Center (WSC) is an excellent…read morechoice. They have friendly staff, efficient service, and adequate facilities and equipment. For our family, WSC serves multiple purposes. My husband is an active tennis player who tries to play at least twice a week. Considering how brutally cold Chicago winters are, it wouldn't be feasible to play outdoors during the winter months. So with WSC, he has been able to find a community of players to play throughout the winter. On the weekends, my husband would give our young girls and cousins private tennis lessons. There are four, all year-round, indoor courts, and eight dome courts for the winter. We have been consistently going every weekend for the last four months and have yet to encounter any availability issues. In addition to tennis, our girls have also joined the swimming lessons. For level 3, there are usually 2-4 instructors. Thus far, we have had a good experience with Ms. Abby, Mr. Christopher, and Ms. Christina. The class size is generally around 8-12 kids depending on attendance. Knowing how young children are, it takes a ton of effort and patience to get them to listen to instructions. Huge kudos to these instructors for having that high-level patience! As for myself, I would utilize the gym equipment such as treadmills, ab machines, and weights. All of the equipment are well maintained and clean. WSC could get busy on the weekends but I have not had trouble with machine availability. All in all, WSC is a solid place for anybody looking for a place to play indoor tennis, have young children who are interested in swimming, and/or just trying to maintain healthy life choices.

The only time available was 8:30pm which was surprising how fast the slots booked up. I got a call about a week before the reservation from Maxine explaining to me that the youth soccer league schedule came out and they would have the field from 8:30pm til 9:30 pm at the latest. She apologized profusely and gave me some options. She asked if I wanted to start at 9:30pm, or come in at 8:30 and play dodgeball/kick ball/field hockey until the other field opened, or reschedule. We opted on coming in at 8:30 and playing dodgeball until our field opened up. To make up for the last minute change, Maxine said she'd buy us a round of drinks. On the day of, we had Christian as our host. Maxine had informed him of everything we discussed so there were no problems. We ended up getting beer for everyone in our party as an apology which was awesome. We even got a party room to put all our stuff down in since I booked this for my birthday. There were plates, cups and napkins set out for us. Bubble soccer was so much fun! It's super exhausting and hot inside the bubbles. Christian was there to be our referee but we told him we weren't really playing that seriously. Everything went so smoothly and was handled very professionally! I would recommend booking a birthday party or any other event here!

I've always felt like I've gotten my money's worth when one of the boys went here. The inside could use some major repair, although some improvements have been made. Parking is a MAJOR problem, there just aren't enough spaces. Many parents have to watch little Johnny or Susie hit their balls (or just hang out for the hour or 2) , so even picking up after you have dropped off can be problematical. If you decide to stay and watch, there aren't many places to go or sit. You just have to stand around. Do NOT take a younger sibling there! They will be whining the whole time. There's not even a place to put the portable DVD player! The voice of experience is speaking here. So while the training is good, the whole transportation and watching is not. Fix that boys and I'll give you more stars.

I received a text message that evening from Jeff Kramer that came across as very snippy and irritated, saying he never received my form (even though he later found it) etc. No apology for a month long wait. He told me he sent my inquiry to one of the trainers and it's now been another week with no word from the trainer. I'm five weeks in at this point and no closer to arranging a lesson. Unreal.

Its owner and now the sole coach is completely unprofessional and neglects the kids. During a recent two-hour session, my daughter and several others got zero coaching while he hid in the bathroom, chatted on his phone, or played doubles with friends instead of supervising his students, who were left standing around with nothing to do. With only two courts for a dozen kids, most of them just wait endlessly while he plays with adults who aren't even enrolled. When I confronted him, he blamed the children for "standing outside the courts" and told them to "find things to do" because "he's not their babysitter." After requesting a refund for the unused lessons, he promised to process it in two days, then refused--citing bogus excuses about lesson expiration--and blocked my calls, arrogantly declaring he doesn't care about negative reviews and will "fix" them himself. Avoid this shameless, money-grubbing coach at all costs.

Boys - My 12 year old tried out at 630 for a national team. His first year playing volleyball. At the tryouts, we were told we need to sign the contract immediately and pay $500 before we leave to hold a spot for him. Uh, HUGE red flag. We tried out at another club and have been very happy there. Girls - My daughter played on a national team. I will confirm what other negative reviews state - limited practice space, lots of wandering around at practice, not practicing enough (4 hours of practice/week for a national team?!? Good luck in those tournaments playing clubs that invest more in their players). I'm giving 2 stars because we did luck out and liked our coach and teammates. (I feel bad for some of these other teams with inexperienced coaches and high turnover.) In the end, it was far from enough, so we switched. Thankfully, there are a lot of great clubs in the area to choose from. My advice is to skip this one.
