The MMTSC

I have to say MMTSC has really improved over the past year! They installed sound barriers – thank you! The food has drastically improved – thank you! Overall, nice place to have to spend a tournament day.

None of the problems with facility are fixed, and parking is +$ 5 this year. Still the worst venue in Southern Cal in 2016.

This place is awesome! I took a dozen of my co-​workers to MMTSC and we were blown away. The facility is terrific and the staff is great. We will return often.

Misty Mays sucks!!! Talk about greedy .
First off food was way over priced entrance fee was so much more than AAC and the parking was ridiculous.
Hundreds of people there every weekend they make lots of money and they tell my little Girl Scout she cannot sell her cookies outside Wow! Mr Casanova comes out with his hairy chest popping out of his shirt and says put ur wagon away. I explain to him my daughter is playing here today and my Girl Scout is just pulling her wagging not even asking anyone if they want cookies, they come to her there is no competition. The facility is making so much money she is just trying to sell a little to make her cookie goal. Needless to say we packed it up but for future events I won’t spend a dime inside.

Our club played a day of volleyball tournaments here recently. It was about on par for other major hosting athletic facilities but not awesome.
MMTSC is OK for volleyball with about 22 courts available. All netted off which is nice so balls don’t fly in neighboring courts. Seating is limited with one small metal bleacher for each side of the courts. Fold up chairs are allowed in.
A fee was charged for nearly everything. Parking — $ 15, Entrance — $ 6. Food court is nice with hot food available. Today’s choices were burgers, hot dogs and Chinese food. Cold salad and pre-​made sandwiches were ready to grab with typical fountain drinks and bottled sports drinks. There was also a smoothie bar and froyo for a treat. An enclosed cafeteria style kitchen made a for nice refuge from the noisy playing area.
Yes noisy is an understatement. This is just an warehouse that has been converted to a sports center. Little insulation for climate or sound. Whistles and constant game noise will fill you ears. It’s not miserable but louder than some other places.
The bathroom (yes singular) were kept clean with the attendant standing nearby to maintain it. But yes there was only one. One womens and one mens. Surprising since this was a venue for women’s volleyball today. Meaning over 600 players plus parents and coaches lining up for the restrooms. Not very convenient or efficient.
Staff was nice and helpful, but in the end were only as good as the building could accommodate. Courts were good quality and overall the tournament was fine.

I wouldn’t give this place ONE star. But I had too to continue. This place is a joke! If my husband and I and two other daughters want to watch my daughter play I will need to spend $ 39 just to park and get in! And then they tell me I’d have to pay again if I left? Ridiculous! I had her eat some snacks until we left. I refuse to eat lunch there. The prices were unbelievable! I am emailing SCVA as well as our own volleyball club. Hopefully our club won’t ever give this place business again. All it is is about money. My younger daughter is in locals and plays in Poway. They don’t charge for parking or to get inside the building. We love that place. You shouldn’t have to pay for parking to watch your own kid play! Us volleyball parents pay enough as it is!

Parking has now been raised to $ 15 in the offsite lots. When I made a comment to the parking attendant, his response «I know a lot of people will be mad about the increase. » Absolutely ridiculous! Unfortunately there are no other options.
The noise inside is still horrendous. They put pads up to help block the sound but unlike at ASC (American Sports Center), the pads don’t hang from the ceiling so they do no good. One day in this facility and I leave with a horrible headache.
The food is extremely overpriced. I bring my own food as I’d never patronize this place anymore than I have to.
Unfortunately, you’re at the mercy of SCVA where you’re scheduled to play.

I don’t even know where to start complaining about this facility. The parking is horrible, they pack the facility full and there are not enough spaces to accommodate all the teams. The staff has on multiple occasions double booked courts to where our practices were cut short or moved at last minute. Then when you ask the staff what court you are on, they have no clue. It’s also horribly loud and since the courts are stacked on top of each other, you can’t watch a game without a constant flow of people walking in front of you. If we weren’t forced to come here as part of the league I would NEVER come to this facility.

Where do I start, if you play or coach club volleyball you have to give this place business and they know that. To park for tournaments you must pay 15 dollars for parking. Although not posted they state there is no leaving once you are parked.
So pack your food and water for the day. There is no where within walking distance to purchase food or water at a reasonable price.
Once you park, parents or spectators must pay to enter. All the consumable products at marked up as they are at every venue.
It is extremely loud inside during tournaments, I recommend bringing ear plugs to sit and watch all day, as for the athletes I’m sorry but ear drum damage is inevitable.
Ventilation is poor, it will get hot and muggy inside no matter what the weather is outside. There are signed hung in every walking space between courts, although they cater to mostly volleyball and basketball players they placed the signs at 5’8″ parents, players and coaches all have to duck when transitioning between courts. Now it seems like I’m nitpicking but seriously, if all you cater to is tall athletes why put anything at a level that will put people at an inconvenience. This is my least favorite venue for volleyball in the entire state of California.

We come here all the time for my daughters tournaments and I have to say the restrooms are cleaner than most sports centers. My husband says he had to thank Johnson for a pleasant experience in the mens room. There is a citrus like smell when walking into the men’s restroom, which made it easier to walk in without the brutal smell of urine, and they are well stocked with paper. We need more people like Johnson in all the sports centers!

This place should have never been approved to operate. It is not family friendly and is all about making a buck of the backs of parents who just want to watch their kids play the great game of volleyball. How could the Irvine City Council approve a place this large with one bathroom and NO DRINKING FOUNTAINS? This is a sports venue and you have to pay $ 2 for water out of a machine (no bottle, bring your own). It is criminal! The courts are NICE but the sound is SO LOUD that it hurts your ears instantly (imagine 5 hours in this place). Parking is ridiculous at $ 15 bucks on site and $ 10 two to five blocks away (by the way, there are many spots as it is in an industrial and most places are not open on weekends but they clearly made a pact with the devil so that they would tow cars or make you pay the exorbitant rates. They are masters of taking advantage of well meaning parents who are already paying oodles for club volleyball fees. I like it because it is close to our home and it provides another venue for volleyball but that is it! The owner should be ashamed. Just flat out ridiculous!
PROS: Nice courts, food is good (but pricey), eating area has flat screen TV’s tuned to sports, some grass outside the door to relax and picnic (not much but some).
CONS:
This please needs a remodel for the sake of the patrons — sound deadening, WATER and drinking fountains (it is a sports venue!!!), more bathrooms, lower parking fees… PLEASE! IT’s ALL ABOUT THE MONEY!!! Don’t they inspect these places???

Last time I paid $ 15 for parking there were at least Laker girls involved. For a kids volleyball court it’s ridiculous.

First visit today to MMTSC for my daughter’s volleyball tournament. First the good: nice new courts, super hard working maintenance staff who constantly kept the restaurant area clean and very courteous restaurant workers. Now for the bad:
1) Disappointed and irritated by the association of this facility with Misty May. I love MMT and I think it’s completely wrong for this guy to be using her name because he think he’s entitled to.
2) If you are going to host ~100 teams and hundreds of people and charge them to park AND to enter the facility at least be prepared to do it! Long lines for parking and for entering the facility. At the peak hour at 7am –1 person taking cash for parking and 1 person taking cash at the door for entry.
3) Not enough restroom stalls for the size of the facility. Majority of soap dispensers and towel dispensers didn’t work.
4) Front desk staff for the most part clueless. I finally realized why the line to enter was taking so long, she was confused on how to make change for a $ 20 bill!
5) Super loud and the entire place was pretty cold.

Seems this place has recently changed something regarding floor care. I must say, they now have a surface perfect for basketball, or any sport they can handle. Good job MMTSC!!!

MMT Sports Center is nice facility for volleyball tournament. I (used to) like it better than ASC. Nice restaurant area — climate controlled so it’s nice to get out of the hot gym in warm months and chilly gym in winter. Food is good but overpriced as expected like ASC.
Expectation for these tournaments is that you pay for parking and admission. Not disputing that. All the gyms do it. But MMT takes advantage and sticks it to families «because they can» according to Parking lot manager «Ace».
We were there for a 2 day tournament. Paid our $ 10 to park. Had some downtime which gave us a chance to check into our hotel with time to be back for next match. Came back (1 hour later) and had to pay again. «Because they can».
Next morning paid $ 15 in the same lot! Okay. Had time to leave and check out of the hotel so I asked to talk to «Ace» to make sure we could get back in without paying another $ 15. Nope! Says that’s the rule. No exceptions. «Because we can». Asked to talk with his boss since this sounds absurd and nonsensical to me. Nope. Owner not available. What cowards.
Our family loves volleyball. It’s an expensive family commitment and we expect to pay for our decision to get involved. But this «stick it to the families» policy supported by Misty May-​Treanor leaves a me with a hugely negative association with Misty May.
We’re looking into other places to park moving forward. Probably will involve walking ¼ mile or more since they’ve got all the surrounding lots in their parking shakedown. So sad that these greedy policies supported by Misty May-​Treanor take advantage of those supporting the sport that put her in the spotlight. Shame in her for using her name to stick it to them (us). «Because we can».

I had my child doing the basketball camp during thanksgiving week. They advertised clippers players on their flyers and was reasonably priced. Yes the facility is new however they are poorly organized and that is more valuable. The coach had her 1 – 2 year old baby there during class that she was babysitting and the class was huge compared to the number of children. They had a start time of 8:30 but class never began earlier than 9. The last day what finally broke the camels back they played duck duck goose! Never will I enroll or recommend this place to anyone!

I have no stake in MMTSC. If they improved and provide better service and product as a business since I had to deal with them, they should get rewarded. So I was not being totally bias toward them based on my «feeling». My comments were based on the facts.
To the one reviewer saying, «haters are gonna hate», all I can say is, suckers are gonna keep paying. If he/​she had to waste so much time and money in short period time and got no where with the staff and the owner, I don’t think he/​she would feel the say way. Unless negative reviews are fake or illegitimate, they should be taken seriously and carefully by both the business and the patrons.
Since my ordeal with MMTSC early this year, I also heard a few very negative experiences from ex-​teammates of my daughter. I won’t elaborate on that since it was not my first hand experience but I can’t say they are better now…

We had my son’s birthday at MMTSC today. The venue/​facility was great, food was awesome (thanks Mike!) and service is above and beyond.
We had few guests that have food allergies and they accommodated them with no problems.
I HIGHLY recommend this place for birthdays, corporate events and team parties!
Thanks guys!

Just an update, we were there last weekend. Parking went up, it was $ 15 for close parking (which gets full quick) then $ 10 parking way down the street. Also not sure if I mentioned, but they charge for ages 5 and up to get in.

First, as many people have mentioned already, they really need to invest a little more and hang some padding on the walls. The noise level is beyond just noisy. It is painful to sit through a full day’s worth of tournaments.
I’ve called many times to ask about private lessons. No one ever answers the phone, morning or afternoon. I was lucky enough get a person once who didn’t know anything and left a mssg with her but no return. It’s been over a week. Is anyone working there?
Big and shiny facility with no customer service or thoughtful design in the inside. I really isn’t very impressive.
