[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree very affordable option for indoor soccer. The only issue we have had is many of the hispanic teams played extremely dirty. The referees who are also hispanic will often favor the hispanic teams with foul calls or non calls. We left once the St James opened and haven't been back since.[/quote]

Probably just your upbringing influencing what your eyes see but your brain does not recognize.  Latino kids play with as much gusto as other kids, the difference is when you see other non-Latino kids playing with aggressiveness, it is a plus and to be encouraged.[/quote]

I wouldn't agree with that at all. There is a full spectrum of how kids play from all ethnicities. However no matter the ethnicity is majority. The minority tends to feel slighted. There is alway some referees who will be bias for or against a team for whatever reason. But to think latino players naturally play with gusto is also false. Almost every latino youth team you see has an overweight kid that cant keep up with the game speed yet still tries to emulate Messi. Attempting foot skills at the slow motion pace of a snail.

New poster. Wow super rude, PP.

We have been going to the Sportsplex for years. I have three kids who enter teams every season--we are talking hundreds of games. It is a great affordable option. Sure, the St James is nicer but most of us can't afford it.

As for the referees being biased, that is totally ridiculous. For the most part they are consistent but call it very loosely. Some refs will call almost no fouls except a full-on body check. Personally I don't care whether a ref is strict or lenient, only about consistency. It has been good for my kids who are very skilled but not very aggressive to play in a more physical environment.
