Indoor Soccer Arena 2000

Hi-ya!This place is great! The refs are decent and the field is in good condition. Bathrooms clean and bleachers are cool.The only thing kinda negative is finding it...if you haven't been here before you can easily miss it. Just make a right after the flag!

There is one referee who should be talked to by management for his lack of professionalism and attitude. This referee has let plays escalate into players getting hurt and slammed into the wall and does not even check on players when they do get hit into the wall or injured. This referee does not care about players safety. I myself was slammed into a wall by a keeper who was out of his box and hit my head in the wall. No foul was given. This referee could care less and just let the keeper restart the play with a kick. This referee has reffed 3 other games where he's not paying attention, talking to the crowd, and just hands out blue cards that don't meet any of the criteria in the policies. This referee also does not explain anything or talk to the players professionally. He is unprofessional and lacks any understanding of the game whatsoever and does not care about player safety. This facility needs to take player safety more seriously and employ referees who are professional and understand the game. As someone who is a referee it's really not difficult to be consistent within the calls, ensure tensions do not escalate, and keep players safe.

The facility has has been cleaned up a bit in the last year, and the parking problem isn't as bad as it used to be as they've been able to expand the lot a bit.However, it's still very poorly run, very inconsistent refs, and no concern paid to things like parents at the youth games who are standing and blocking others' views, yelling, and engaging in stereotypical bad soccer parent behavior. I literally saw a parent stomping on the bleachers, flailing her arms, and screaming last weekend because she was unhappy with the ref. Nobody from the facility seems to care. So, it's not a very pleasant place to watch a game, and playing is hit and miss depending on the ref.

I'll give 5 stars to the staff working at this facility. I would give 2 stars to the ref on Monday league (it's a tough job standing still for at least 3 hours so the ref deserves 2 stars). I was given a blue card for running in front of my opponent and shielding with my arm without extending it out fully. The ref saw it as I elbowed my opponent and gave me the blue card. Also my elbow wasn't in the motion of swinging backward like in any form of hurting my opponent plus my arm was only at the defenders waist level. The spectators and my teammates were aghast that I was blue-carded and agreed the ref made a bad call. After my game, I also stayed and watched another teams play. I noticed this ref made many bad calls. An incident happened just in front of me, when a keeper brought the ball out of his box and was pressured by his opponent (a striker) to the side walls. There were normal acceptable physical contacts but the keeper pushed the striker hard to the walls and swung his hand backward pushing the striker's head. I would think the striker was fouled but the ref called foul on the striker. I could see the perplexed look on the striker's face. This ref needs to watch more professional soccer games or arena matches to learn how to be a good referee. There used to be a non-biased ref but he might have found another job. He was the best referee. I rarely saw players making objections against his calls.

Great experience here. Loved how they were so safe during Covid. The parking lot could get very crowded at times. The employees are very nice. The facility is clean. They have huge fans to help cool everyone down, it gets very hot inside. They have clean bathrooms. They do have vending machines with drinks and snacks. Loved this facility for indoor soccer.

*Manager does nothing* Over the past couple of months, my over 30 coed C division team has had several complaints that go unanswered by management. When the phone number was requested for corporate, an email was given, and then zero response. Some example of complaints my team has is that a goalie slid out of the box and kicked a player in the head, giving them a concussion. Goalie got no foul or blue card. A referee on the field contintualy harrases one of our female players on social media. He keeps asking her out after she has said no several times. When he referees our games, his attitude is poor, and his comments are rude. Some players on my team have even been followed out to their cars by other players and even their small children. We are in an over 30 C league for a reason, but we keep having games against players that we have seen in A League divisions. Our team will not be returning to play the next session because of these issues and more. Corporate needs to step in and protect the players at this arena.

Where to begin...We tried this place out and it was a trainwreck. Far too many players/teams and only one full field and a half field to accommodate everyone. They really need to put a cap on how many players they enroll. It seems like the $$$s are just too tempting. But what ends up happening is you get poor quality and chaos for everyone.The organizational structure is very poor. We were having games rearranged multiple times to the point where nobody knew when the game actually would be. And since players were not consistently notified, people were wasting their time showing up at the wrong times. The front desk staff seem to do their best, to be fair to them. But they just don't have a handle on all the chaos and the demand.For kids these games can be outright dangerous. There are a lot of very aggressive kids playing who will slam opposition players into walls and hack them down without the refs doing anything. I get that you want competitive games. But I saw multiple players limp off injured and in pain from this kind of hostile play, and the facility seems to have no safety protocols and don't care about injuries. I guess because the parents signed a waiver they feel they are free of any legal, moral, or empathic responsibility. But what does that say about them as decent human beings? If you are taking your kids to play here, be advised that they run the risk of injury - a greater risk than playing outdoor soccer.Speaking of refs, good grief are some the referees here terrible! I've seem players get blatantly tripped and hacked down, and pushed hard against the walls and nothing is done. No free kick or caution. Then a player raises their hands to their face to shield from getting the ball smashed into the faces at near point-blank distance and that's given as a caution and marked as one of five fouls your team is allowed. It's ridiculous! Even the supposedly better refs are of dubious ability. I don't expect every decision to be perfect. Mistakes happen. But the frequency of oversights and disregard here is on another level.Also, there is no tiering of teams or any effort to distribute teams by skill level. So you have divisional-level players going up against rec players, which results in very uneven results and is demoralizing to the rec-level players. That's not great on its own. But what's also concerning is that it is actually harming the adoption of soccer because it kills any interest in the sport for some young players. I get that the facility wants to make a profit. But it seems like $$$s are all they really care about.

I get that there is a shortage of refs right now, but I just watched a game in which I genuinely think the ref couldn't see what was happening on the field, and it made the game unsafe. Jerseys pulled, elbows thrown, coaches fighting, one team allowed to play with 6 players before the ref noticed. Players are supposed to be aggressive, but refs are supposed to control the game and keep it safe. ISA 2000 has a responsibility to make the play environment safe.

I really like playing at ISA. I have been coming since December and I enjoy it. They always have an interesting playlist going on during the games. There's plenty of parking and the staff is really friendly. I also like how flexible they are with changing game times. I would definitely recommend playing here.

This place is a complete joke. My son has played 5 games there and 2 of the games ended in fights. The refs do nothing to control the game. If an owner or representative of this establishment reads this and actually wants to do something please message me. I have video of two punk a#% kids cold clocking one of my sons teammates twice. I wouldn't be surprised if something like this spills into the parking lot and turns into something bigger. GET A HOLD OF YOUR BUSINESS!!!!!!
