It’s a spectacular venue. 16 volleyball courts. Wow. Great court surface. Some courts have awesome viewing capacity. Some courts not so much. Some are outright awful.
Very well lit. They nailed the court lighting. High ceilings it rarely comes into play. Adequate space around the court for recreational volleyball but not enough for competitive boys. Service area too short I’d say it fails usav’s standard of 6’. There is about 3 feet from sideline to benches which is dangerous.
At the end of the day it’s a great venue but there is room for improvement…
The one major issue needing attention is parking. Woefully inadequate at least for a volleyball tournament. Cars were making up parking spots. Every inch in the lot not marked as handicap was being used whether intended or not. Seriously no inch was left unused which created a hot mess. Even then there was nowhere near enough space. I posted pictures to show but they don’t do the mess justice, a drone view would show my point. Overflow parking onto the streets was a hot mess too. Cars were parked up and down narrow streets. Two way streets became one way streets because cars were everywhere. The neighbors have to hate it I know I would. See posted pictures they don’t do it justice how bad the parking capacity is. Everyone attendee was fully aware. Mass chaos in the parking lot (not violent just a sh*t show too many cars not enough spaces)
also can’t say I’m happy about the entrance fee. $12/day to watch my son play for 2-3 hours. Keep in mind we already paid about $40 for him to play in the tournament (just him)
Food prices are higher than justified especially for the low quality. But not out of this world. $11 for 2.5 chicken fingers. Blah. I should have taken a picture disappointing quantity given the price. Hey venue don’t chance someone pays that much just give them a good sized portion you know you’re buying them super cheap. French fries looked hearty but we didn’t order them. Pizza looked ok but we had pizza for dinner the night before.
Staff was plentiful and friendly.
Arcade was a nice space but hardly used at least at this event. A quiet area would be nice for parents to get away from whistles while their kids...

Our recent visit to the WinTrust Sports Complex for the Junior Judo Olympics was an absolute pleasure, and I can confidently give it a 5-star rating. From the moment we walked in, we were impressed by how clean and inviting the entire facility was. It’s clear that a high standard of maintenance is a priority here, which is always reassuring. What truly stood out, especially during a large event like the Olympics, was how well-organized and professional everything ran. The staff were efficient and helpful, and the flow of people and events was managed seamlessly. It made for a stress-free experience, allowing us to focus on the competition. Beyond the excellent operational aspects, the complex itself is a beautiful space, clearly designed to accommodate a wide variety of sports. The layout is intelligent, with ample room and top-notch facilities. Whether for judo, basketball, or any other sport, WinTrust Sports Complex provides an outstanding environment. We were thoroughly impressed and would highly recommend it for any sporting event...
   Read moreVisited the facility for a volleyball tournament. What an amazing space for volleyball and basketball. It's something for everyone here. There is a resturant on the 1st level. The lines be long certain times of the day but they keep it flowing with 3 to 4 registers open and the kitchen pumps out the food. There is also a 2nd resturant and bar on the 2nd level. It comes complete with several tv and plenty of seats. There is a video arcade...games for everyone including the fan favorite air hockey. It also has a ticket counter and a laser tag room. Bathrooms and halls are kept clean. Plenty of parking available if you add in the massive lot around...
