Poor scheduling and rescheduling. Lazy "staff". Coaches usually have no true knowledge of the what they're coaching or are just lazy. Don't even teach the kids basic rules of the game. Teams not established with equal or close to equal number of players. The Director(Kyle) is not truly concerned. He has admitted that he has applied for a city utilities position, so his promises to resolve the issues are merely words because he's hoping to get away from this "little job". One team roster will have the exact minimum while another team has 3-4 excess (basketball for this example). Softball season has the same issue. Last year our team had 9 while 3 opposing teams had 12-14 players each. This is a known issue at the beginning of the season, but it never gets resolved!!

Softball season, we struggled to get all of our 9 players to be present because of poor player roster distribution established by the Rec....

Prices are high, admission along with the concession stand. Greeting was horrible, there wasn't one, if I hadn't come to see my son's I would've left. Even after I paid there wasn't a thank you or see you next game, not nothing but the looks of I don't want to be here. $18 for 2 adults and a student. Be prepared to walk up and down multiple flight's of stairs. The stairs had trash on the steps so watch your step. I've had multiple knee surgeries so it wasn't a pleasant experience. The seats were good. The band was good to see and hear play until the referee told them to stop playing so I...

Very upset. Cancelled my kids 10th birthday party 15 mins before it was supposed to start. No call, I show up to set up at the indoor pool and was met at the door and told roofers are working and stuff is falling into the pool...
