Branson RecPlex — Attraction in Branson

*updated review. the walking/running track upstairs is unique and annual passes are $35.....deal! That will get you into the gym too. That also includes access to the showers and locker facilities.

Okay the $35 gets you the walking track, showers and lockers. The gym is not included and over priced. I can't use the track anymore because it's crowded and the 1 lane dedicated to runners always has people walking in it the despite signs that read "for runners only". Very frustrating.

Over the summer I found the staff at the splash pad off-putting. Apparently, only kids 5 and under are allowed to use certain equipment however, this isn't posted anywhere. Instead, the lifeguards blew their whistles at my daughter and held up a 5 with their hands. We had no idea what this meant. Finally someone got out of their chair and actually spoke to her. The lifeguard was really rude and treated her like she was deliberately breaking the rules. She made her cry. There was a woman in a shirt and shorts (no bra) swimming. We all know what happens to women in wet t-shirts with no bra. They need some standards on proper swim attire.😒

Lastly, I was a coach for the RecPlex...four times. Every time they told me I was coach after the "coaches meeting" so obviously I couldn't attend. It is disorganized and they gave me nothing to work with. Here's your roster, good luck. Even weeks after we started practice they kept adding kids to our roster until it was full. 16 kids on one t-ball team (almost double the necessary amount). I had to ask for basic team equipment and when received there was stuff missing, or the wrong items for t-ball. As a parent, I can't see what I paid $35 for? And I think it's ridiculous that parents have to pay to get into games. You pay to play and pay to watch, really? Swimming lessons weren't really worth the money either. 1/2 hour lessons is too...

Their youth soccer program is very poorly managed! Coaches each go by different rules. Some coaches, bless their hearts... Just don't know the game, or the rules! Some referees don't have a clue about the rules either. Some just insist on playing how they want yet that only gives them a huge advantage because the other coach is going by rec Plex rules! Messed up! They follow one set of rules while another follows a different set of rules. There is a big click, teams are not set equally or randomly giving each participant equal learning operortunities. Some teams never change any players.... from season to season... So most kids get poor training in the game while others... it's like you're playing against a professional and organized team! So unless lucky enough to have been selected for a highly managed team, your little soccer player really doesn't learn much other than chase whoever has the ball! All while getting completely and totally...SPANKED! For the "high" expense of participating in their league, if that's what you want to call it!??? Your $$$ are not going towards your child learning the ropes and rules of the game, they just out there running.... Sorry my 4th grandkid involved in this soccer program, from approx 2010 to present, nothing has changed. Money better spent elsewhere. For most anyway! Just my observation s... 😁 I say's it as I see it and I see it as I say:s it! MANY other parents have stated same...
