Don't buy a membership for the basketball. I bought my son a membership because several of his friends have memberships. They all play basketball on teams at school so they know what they are doing. However, since they are only 14 years old the other players won't let them play. My son and his friends had to go there during the early afternoon when the courts were empty, but when the older people show up in the late afternoon they completely take over the court and refuse to give the kids a turn. I spoke to the manager and she informed me that there is nothing they can do about what happens on the courts. It's up to the players. I told her that the kids pay their dues and are being bullied by the adults and that wouldn't it be simple to just put up a chalkboard or a piece of PAPER so everyone could write their names down and take their turn in order? She said they couldn't do something like that because it's known that there are no RULES in the basketball court. I cancelled the membership right then of course because apparently the MANAGEMENT AGREES WITH BULLYING.

All they care about is getting your money not about giving you what you pay to get. Employee's are rude and unable (or unwilling) to help. We went in ready to join this club and after waiting over half an hour for someone to help us (not even being allowed to walk the premises) were told we didn't qualify for their special and that we'd have to play their normal registration fee and sign a 2 year contract at their premium rate. They were rude and didn't seem to want us as members (my wife and I are over 40 and though we play a lot of sports (basketball, softball, volleyball etc) we were more out of shape with recent injuries.
