Maple Athletic Complex

Right away I notice a difference under the new ownership. The entrance is more inviting! The lobby / waiting area is more open. I love the new color and design of the whole complex. On the soccer side, they added batting cages with two batting machines and one hand pitch. In addition, they have two new pickle ball courts. I love that they re-painted the tennis courts, looks awesome! Upstairs, they added six new TVs with surround sounds and new tables and chairs. Bathrooms are very nice as well! Very happy with the remodel!

This review would be of the utmost praise of this complex, if it weren't for their decision to hire Junior as a referee. My disappointment in Junior's decision making is immeasurable. In the soccer game tonight at 8:50, which featured SunCo vs Sun Toppers, there was numerous missed calls on both teams and aggression towards players during and after the game. The buzzer sounded, indicating the end of regulation with a tied score of 6-6. Shortly after that, a player on Sun Toppers shot the ball and the SunCo goalkeeper let the ball go in because the game was over. Junior counted that shot as a goal and declared the Sun Toppers victors over SunCo. Players on SunCo tried to explain to Junior that the buzzer had sounded, so the players had stopped playing. The official rule says when the buzzer sounds, the game is over. This decision has me absolutely perplexed. Junior then was verbally aggressive to players on SunCo that were rightfully frustrated and expressed their concerns with his decision. In all of the previous games I spectated, I had never seen this ref before, and I had absolutely no complaints with any decision making. In all my years of playing and watching the beautiful game I have never been as flabbergasted and befuddled as I was after watching the game tonight.
