I'm going to give it 5 stars because they gave my athletes an opportunity to compete in jumping events indoors early in the year (Great for technique). Today I was at the Hub City Indoor Open (Jan 30 2016). And now for the negatives.....
1: It was cold....to perform your best the temperatures need to be warm. The air conditioning while nice for a basketball tournament with lots of movement was a bit too chilly for my athletes. Temps need to hit the 70s inside to be the perfect weather for track and field performance.
2: With all the space they have indoors I feel they should make this meet a jump only event. There are lots of jumpers in the Pacific Northwest and a meet dedicated to them could build a very large return rate. They could even have two huge jumper invitationals.
3: Races outdoors....while it's great to offer the 60 hurdles and dash I see no point of having athletes race outdoors during the winter. It would be much better to have a Hub City Summer Invitational. Done right you can have an excellent invite that many teams and athletes will want to return to every summer.
Overall a summer invitational (1 or 2) on the outdoor track...and jumpers (LJ,TJ,HJ & PV) only meets during the winter are the best way to go. I'd even be willing to help you guys organize these events and help you get athletes to attend.
See you on...
Read moreWe just attended the NW Sports Hub this past weekend for a regional volleyball event. This place is amazing and exactly what the NW needed in a sports venue. Very impressive. Lots of parking, lots of room to move around. The Indoor venue was the perfect setting for a volleyball event of this size. There were COVID protocols in place from the first day, and we appreciate the efforts of the facility to make sure we are all safe especially while getting back into sports at the tail end of a pandemic. The food was excellent for both breakfast and lunch menu's. The facility had plenty of room and entry exit was great. They are doing a major remodel and addition to the venue, it will add from i hear up to 20 VB courts making this place even better for events such as this. Lots of baseball fields, soccer space, and all pretty easy to find and navigate. As sports comes back, we need to support the NW Sports Hub as it grows and is able to offer more and more to the sports community. Great work NW Sports Hub - we will return! And great food as well -...
Read moreThe NW Sports Hub in Centralia, Washington, is an absolute gem for anyone looking for top-notch facilities for sports and recreation. It’s exactly what Olympia is missing—a spacious, state-of-the-art venue that caters to a wide range of athletic activities. The hub features multiple volleyball courts, basketball courts, and even indoor baseball diamonds, offering plenty of room for both practice and competition. The wrestling area is a great addition, and the high-quality equipment throughout the facility really stands out.
What’s even more exciting is the potential for an indoor golfing area, which I’m looking forward to trying one day. Whether you’re an athlete or someone just looking to enjoy some active time indoors, the NW Sports Hub has everything you need in one convenient location. It’s definitely...
