He can't stick with a budget so is constantly asking taxpayers for bonds and mill levies or selling off valuable land to cover his expenditures. He does not care about the community and prioritizes clubs outside of the district over families that live in-district. He has an attorney that the district pays a lot of money to that will respond to constituents emails and is very rude at board meetings. The only board members that aren't appointed usually do not run a second term. We need to stop giving additional funding to Foothills Parks and Rec. until the executive director is held accountable for how much money he wastes and how he treats the community - or until he is replaced!

This review is specific to the Colorado Springs Rush program. I've heard of families having good…read moreexperiences with Rush, but based on our experience, I would encourage prospective members to ask a lot of questions and get key details in writing before accepting a roster spot. We moved from Pride Soccer Club because we were looking for a new coaching style after four years in Pride's competitive division, and were seeking a truly competitive environment for our 11-year-old son. Rush offered him a spot on a U12 team, and we accepted based on our understanding that it would be a competitive team appropriate for his age group and development. When practices began, we learned that several players on the roster were significantly younger than expected. The birthday range for a U12 team, as documented on Rush's website, is August 1, 2014 through July 31, 2015. 5 of the 13 players on my son's roster were born in 2016. Additionally, the coach explained that the team was intended for players who were new to competitive soccer after playing primarily recreational soccer. We also learned there was no indoor or futsal program planned for the winter, and the coach was surprised when I asked what tournaments we'd attend despite our understanding that tournament costs were included in the annual fees. He told us he "could look into tournaments if the team wanted to attend one." Because the team was not what we believed we had signed up for we arranged a tryout with another club, and that club ultimately offered our son a spot in a higher division. When we requested a release from Rush 6 days after the start of the season we were told by the club director, Marc Carrasco, that the remaining season fees would need to be paid in full before the club would consider releasing him. We paid more than $3,000 in season fees, plus an additional $375 in kit costs, for two total practices. For parents considering Rush, I would recommend asking the following before accepting an offer, and getting responses in writing: * What division or bracket will the team being offered compete in? * What is the age range of players being placed on the roster? * Are tournaments, indoor leagues, or futsal included with that specific team? * What is the club's refund and release policy if the team is not what was represented during tryouts? I was also disappointed by our interaction with the club's director, Marc Carrasco, regarding the release process. During a phone call with my wife, he told her that we were "lucky" the club would even consider a release and that "most parents overrate their children's skill level." We found the conversation unnecessarily rude and unprofessional. Our son has since found a club that is a much better fit. While others may have a different experience with Rush, we left feeling that important information about the team's level of competition should have been communicated clearly before families were asked to commit financially. Based on our experience, I cannot recommend Rush. This was a painful and expensive lesson for our family, and I hope other parents will ask detailed questions and get answers in writing before making a significant financial commitment.

Schaefer Complex has hosted the senior softball tournament in August for as long as I can remember…read more There have been changes made to the complex over the years for players and spectators, but the parking lot still remains a giant pain to navigate through to get out. There is definitely an increased need for more shaded areas for spectators. BYOC (chair) as the stands are older and offer no shade or coverage from the elements. While there are trees that you can hunker down under, it does not give the best view of the games. The restroom situation is interesting and not sure I can get on board with how they have decided to set up the facilities, specifically in the women's restroom. But, the field does provide for many games to happen, so it is good for tournaments.

I was thrilled when I pulled in and saw the parking lot almost completely empty, thinking we had finally picked a quiet time to swim. Unfortunately, those hopes were quickly dashed when we were told we couldn't enter the pool because it was already "at capacity" based on the number of lifeguards on duty. Given the nearly empty parking lot, it seemed to be a staffing issue rather than the pool actually being crowded. Unfortunately, this is just one of several frustrating experiences we've had at this rec center. My 6-year-old's lips turn blue after spending more than about 20 minutes in the main pool because of how cold it is. The only area that is really appropriate for him to practice swimming is adult-only for the majority of the day, with only a very limited window for children--and during that window, we're now being told the pool is at capacity. We've also had multiple negative interactions with both front desk staff and lifeguards who have been unnecessarily rude and unhelpful. A previous reviewer made an assessment that I now completely agree with: if you're an older adult, this rec center may be a great fit, as the programming and pool schedules seem heavily geared toward adults. If you have a young family and are looking for a place to work out and swim with your children, I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere.
