Gametime Indoor Soccer Arena — Attraction in Harker Heights

Potential Assault Incident:

During one of the games, I was involved in an incident that raises concerns about retaliation and misconduct. While going for the ball, I accidentally collided with a woman. A few seconds later, after the play had clearly moved on and the ball was about 50 feet away from us, two-four seconds later she grabbed my arm and dug her nails into my skin, scratching me. As I instinctively pulled away, she peeled the skin, causing significant pain and minor bleeding. This was not a result of the game’s physicality was but a deliberate act of retaliation after our earlier collision.

In typical soccer environments, accidental contact is expected, and such situations are usually resolved with good sportsmanship. However, her actions crossed the line into what felt like an intentional attempt to harm, given that the ball was no longer near us and this was after the innocent collision. The fact that management did not intervene raises questions. Whether it was due to convenience, oversight, or favoritism, their lack of action was disappointing, leaving me to wonder if the situation would have been handled differently had our roles been reversed.

For someone that doesn’t understand soccer or any context: This situation can be compared to assaulting someone after a car collision in a fit of anger. In both scenarios, the initial contact—whether accidental in soccer or a car collision—could be considered a normal risk of the activity. However, the response, which involves intentional harm after the fact, escalates the situation from an accidental encounter to an act of aggression. Just as assaulting someone after a car accident would be unacceptable and legally actionable, physically retaliating in a sports context is equally unjustifiable.

Attached is a photo of the injury about 12-15 hours post-incident. My intuition suggests that this concern will only be acknowledged because I’ve left a Google Review.

Game Quality:

While the field is affordable and convenient for a quick game, the quality of play is inconsistent. Unlike more competitive and structured environments like Miami, where teams are generally matched by age and skill, this field attracts a diverse mix of players. Although this might work for some, it often detracts from the overall competitiveness and quality of the game.

There’s also a noticeable degree of favoritism on the field, with some players primarily passing to friends, limiting the inclusive nature of the game. This behavior can be frustrating if you’re seeking a serious, competitive match with good team dynamics. If you’re simply looking for exercise and don’t mind a casual game, this field might be suitable, but for those after more structured play, it may be...

Best place to play soccer with a good diversity of people, they allow all skill types and make new people welcome with a smile and a fist pump, kinda a feeling of friendly and professional at the same time.

They have competitive league games if pick up isn't your style, you can sign up make a team or join a team and it's a lot of fun and budget friendly for everyone, refs are professional but some would say some calls are not right it's just how the game is, how the ref sees it so it's understandable.
