High Velocity Sports

This review is for the golf simulator only. We had been wanting to try a golf simulator and found a good deal on groupon for hv. Be forewarned they only have two golf simulators so being able to book a time is difficult, it took us three weeks. I thought it would be like On the Dunes where you have your own private room and On the Dunes I know has about a dozen simulators from what I’ve seen. At HV you basically are set up in the lobby and with the people right next to you which is not ideal (think how bowling alleys are set up).
We figured it’d take a few swings to get used to how the machine works but because the ceilings are so low (9−10ft) we kept having the golf ball hit the ceiling when driving, super frustrating and VERY irritating! Not to mention hitting the ceilings means your drive only went 50 to 60 yards if you’re lucky. Couldn’t really get into a rhythm because of that and just found the experience frustrating and not very fun. Next time we’re going to try On the Dunes, they have way higher ceilings lol.
Otherwise, the staff was friendly helpful & the pizza they ordered us for the groupon from cottage inn was good.

After looking everywhere for some sort of program that involves the five and under crowd I happened upon L’l Kickers and L’il Ballers. I can’t necessarily comment about the leagues and older groups but what we have experienced so far is great. The coaches make things fun for the little guys while teaching them technique that they will benefit from as they progress. I applaud the coaches for their effort which sometimes almost looks as if they’re in a room fool of rowdy toddlers — which they are at times. They pout, they fight, they cry sometimes. The coaches keep them all reigned in and keep them on track with the tasks.
I haven’t seen the snack bar open but, to me, that’s not necessarily a bad thing. We are there for 55 minutes and don’t really need a «snack» during that time. We wouldn’t eat the food options there anyway. It would be great if some fresh, healthy options were available.
The front office staff is always friendly and helpful — Not just the adults but the younger kids manning the desk too.
Last month I called and inquired about the Bounce House hours for a Saturday. I was told that unless there was a birthday party scheduled that there would be open bounce times. We scheduled a party for my grandson and one other friend for a last minute birthday get together. When we arrived the place was almost empty and most of the lights were out. The bounce house was deflated. I had two little boys arriving within minutes who were going to be terribly disappointed. Tracy very kindly blew up all of the bounce displays and the boys had the place to themselves. We were there about two hours. We brought in our own small cake and even a couple of pizzas. Her kindness definitely made the day for two little boys.

This is strictly a review on their indoor soccer programs.
I have played (and coached) at a couple of local indoor soccer facilities, and High Velocity is EASILY the best of the bunch.
To start with, they actually CARE about having teams be as evenly matched as possible (I’ve seen them move teams to different divisions once it’s apparent that one team is either too good or not good enough). This alone shows more integrity than Wide World (where I had an 8 year old daughter in a GIRLS division play against a team with all but 2 boys (in the girls division) that pounded everyone — absolute joke).
They also try to make sure the referees are good and fair, and err towards the side of caution (again, compared to Wide World is a huge improvement — I’ve seen games get waaaay out of hand because the ref wouldn’t call anything). The only time I had an issue with a referee, it was handled quickly and efficiently by the front office.
I highly suggest High Velocity over any other indoor soccer facilities I’ve played or coached at.

We have been taking our son her for li kickers soccer for a couple of years now and he absolutely loves it! The first year we signed him up it was $ 110 per child, they soon added an anual family fee of $ 20 …well a few years later and the prices are through the roof! $ 135 per 10 week session with a $ 30 family fee. We wanted to sign our daughter up for this as well but @ $ 300 for a 10 week session is ridiculous! There is no AC in the summer and it gets hot really quick if your in the upper floor arena. There is only one elevator in the very back and at times it doesnt work, on a couple of occasions we had to carry a baby stroler up & down the stairs to watch my sons practice.
However their birthday parties are the best value around, with a full field of bounce houses and a party room all toyourselves it is perfect. They provide pizza, a party host and they clean up after you leave. I would definitely recommend it foe parties but no so much for yout soccer clinics.

This place could be AMAZING!!! It is excellent in its diverse sports programs and offers a great location with lots of different fields (basketball, indoor flag football, soccer). Additionally, I love the inflatables and party options. Years ago they used to have an open play day for preschoolers and that was great as well, I’m not sure if it’s still available.
On the other side, it’s way too hot in the summer, extremely cold in the winter and the acoustics are LOUD.
the seating upstairs is nice for a good view but when no one sits but stands at the edge blocking your view… It’s not ideal.
When waiting in between games or tournaments it is less than comfortable. There is no seating area to just relax and wait while your player is practicing, there is one area that is roped off and another section of tables that are less comfortable than sitting on a wire fence.
There is a «no outside food» policy… C’mon! When your over priced concessions, run by 6 clueless high schoolers, leave options of carnival food looking better… You’ve got issues. This is a sports complex!!! I’d like my child to have something nutritional to eat while playing to replenish them. Not nachos, pizza, fries and soda pop.
Sorry high velocity, you’ve got a GREAT concept but you need a LOT of help with the delivery.

My son got invited to a birthday party here recently. He had fun and they have some arcade games that we played as well. Just read another Unilocal review of this place and they said they do not have AC. You won’t find me here in the summer!

Normally, we have had good luck with the people here, but when you have a problem, they are not equipped to deal with it. My son was hit by a Coach during a class which caused blood and a fat lip.
When I approached the Managers about it, they never once apologized, continued to say that they did not see it and they would talk with the Coach. A facility that deals with kids needs to be better equipped to deal when they have a problem. I will never take my son to High Velocity based on the poor handling of when there is an issue and they do make you feel like they care.

We’ve been doing our winter soccer here with one of the boys. It seems okay. Seating is a little weird with bleachers upstairs that no one sits on. They just stand at the railing and block the view of anyone who wants to sit.
Smells a LOT like a boys locker room.
I’ve never been able to get anything from concessions because our sons games are later than the concession area stays open. There are big signs saying no outside food. I would suggest they keep the concession area open later if they want to enforce that.
LOUD LOUD LOUD PLACE.

Excellent kids soccer program. Facility is generally clean and nice; however, do not sign up for a summer class unless you like to cook because there is no air conditioning. Too hot!
