Absolute best pitching instruction in the DMV! Craig and his team provide top notch instruction to…read moremaximize pitching performance. Craig's use of thousands of hours of analysis and scientific study to refine pitching mechanics to deliver maximum performance with minimum risk to injury is truly amazing. My son experienced continued injuries caused by improper form despite hours and hours of instruction by former big league pitchers. Craig fixed my sons delivery and he is injury free because my son now knows how to care for his arm before, during, and after throwing and now has proper pitching mechanics that will keep him healthier longer. If you are injured, you don't need to lose training time while you heal. See Craig and you will be back on the mound sooner and healthier. Thanks Craig.

Fitness Center. I only use the the club for fitness. This could be the best kept secret in Fairfax…read more The potential is untapped. Simply there is no observable management supervision of this part of the facility. I wish there were a true stretching area. The closet size space is simply inadequate. The stretch pad provided by the gym is at least 18 months old, soiled and disintegrating. They have a small room adjacent to the the larger gym area that could be used, but is currently off limits and partially used for storage. They have plenty of machines. Lots. They are reasonably well maintained. Some of the equipment and hand weights in the free weight area are RUSTY. The current benches are worn and should be replaced. All the negatives aside I really like this place. Is is very clean. The very small staff is quite friendly, but appatrently powerless to implement change. I have always had plenty of room to work on occasion I have been the only person exercising for extended periods of time.There are so few people using the fitness area I fear it will be closed. The few trainers-two of which I have used-are knowledgable, friendly and encouraging. They have access to a completly separate set of "Trainers Only" equipment that by observation is well maintained. So if you are searching for an under used, well equipped, well lighted and clean and inexpensive fitness facility, then this is your spot,

There are many league games to be played through FXA and they also have courts up for rental. The staff there had been nothing been absolutely helpful and resourceful! Their ceilings aren't particularly low however, many high balls can bump into the lights and poles above. The lights are also blinding at times but other than that the court areas are pretty spacious -- minus the sides due to the nets. There is quite a bit of space to put your belongings and for people to come by to watch + support! The floors could use some sweeping as it is usually slippery/dusty Overall, this location consistently holds many leagues, tourneys, and open gyms and would recommend 7/10 for the facility but 9/10 to come play!

Rude service at the Pro Shop…read more My friend and I came here to play some golf. Not knowing it was strictly for members, we were turned away. Understanding country clubs have policies in place - which is fair - there's no excuse for being made to feel unwelcome. The gentleman who is at the pro shop from the get-go was unfriendly, unaccommodating, and hinging on dismissive. Although we could have been prospective members, seeing the poor quality of customer service, we will not be returning. If the country club is interested in expanding its member base, start by hiring better employees.

Be sure to ask for Logan (one of the co-managers of VBC) for more information. My two sons (10 yrs, 8 yrs), who love baseball, have enjoyed the summer camp program and taking lessons here.

James Lee is a wonderful recreation center that offers a multitude of free activities that are…read morefamily friendly at the recreation center. *However one specific person in the staff has caused quite a bit of commotion and has ruined my overall experience with James Lee. Mr. Quincy (if I have spelled his name correctly) is at times extremely rude, prejudiced, and outright hostile. I understand that given his circumstances, hardships of his life, and disability that life has taken a very heavy toll on him, both physically and emotionally. However, I do not find it appropriate for him to take out his anger and hostility on people/family just trying to simply check-in at the front desk. Simply forgetting a registration card to check-in to james lee does not warrant him re-telling a story of his youth where he experienced severe racism. And then using his story as an example, to belittle me and say "I am expected to treat everyone fairly. Do you think you deserve special treatment as well?" Besides forgetting my registration card, I usually do my best to listen to management and follow the guidelines within James Lee. I do not think a mishap like forgetting my card would instigate a hostile discussion on racism and a belittling lecture informing me of what prejudice is. I did not even ask Mr. Quincy the question "Can I get into James Lee without my registration card?" I simply signed my name at the front desk and informed Mr. Quincy "I think I forgot my registration card." Restating James lee policy of no card/no entry would have sufficed. Should I always be ready to be prepared to be verbally attacked because I must be assumed to be "privileged" if I forget to bring a registration card? Should I assume that if I accidentally make a mistake like this again, that it is due solely to my race? That forgetting my card is equivalent to "being categorized as privileged" and the only way to remedy this is to be demeaned in a hostile conversation of what prejudice in society is and be informed with Mr. Quincy's own personal experiences of racism as if presumed I am ignorant? Through out the entire conversation I only continued to nod or agree with Mr. Quincy, but I did not understand why a mistake like mine would warrant a demeaning lecture on racism/judgement of my character . To be honest I do not even understand the connection between forgetting a registration card and educating me on the social issue of racism. As a minority myself, I do understand and have had my own experiences of racism ( And again I am not presuming that one person's personal experience of racism warrants more attention/worth over another person's experience) Furthermore, this is not the first time he has done this to me. He has belittled me before for my mistakes when checking in. I have talked to other members that use James Lee Community Center and they have also experienced various displays of rudeness/unwarranted hostility from Mr. Quincy as well. I am simply writing to others so that they are warned that ,although James Lee Community Center may seem like a family friendly center, be prepared to be verbally scolded on the subject of racism and be ready to be perceived by your race as "privileged" if you do accidentally make a mistake like forgetting a registration card. I'm glad I did not bring my two small nieces that day, as I would never want them to experience what I did. Secondly I am concerned for Mr. Quincy's well being and health. I know given his circumstances, his physical disability, and from his detailed descriptions of his own personal encounters with racism, Life has certainly dealt him a very heavy hand. However, he is not getting the help he needs by yelling, threatening and giving detailed accounts of his history with discriminatory encounters to random strangers/families that use a recreation center. I strongly feel if Mr. Quincy had some form of professional help/therapy it would greatly aid him with his traumatic past and perhaps set him on the road to recovery from his past grievances.
