Boo Williams Sportsplex

I was finally able to check out the Sportsplex when my nephew played a Labor Day tournament in 2018. This facility is impressive since it can accommodate a myriad of different sports and is spacious enough to house a lot of people. Coming from Norfolk, the drive is a little long but that's neither here nor there. The Sportsplex is easy to find and there is plenty of parking. Upon entering I was surprised to see the facility came with some TV's, snack machines and a concession stand. In addition, I was more surprised by the size of the facility. I didn't realize it was so big, so when I walked over to Pavilion #1 I was in awe. This place could double for a major training facility, and there was so much seating. It makes me wish I was still playing basketball regularly so maybe I could play here. JV

5/1/21: Here for a Junior Phenom basketball tournament. The facility is very clean & everything is extremely organized. The cost is $20 for the day or $35 for the weekend. The parking is plentiful & there are many hotels & restaurants nearby. The concession stand wasn't open, so we had to go out for snacks and food, which was not an issue. There are snack and drink machines available & they accept credit cards for your convenience. All the staff were friendly and helpful. I didn't have any issues at all. I would definitely come back.

This place is by far the worst. The games are fixed and the referees are just there to decorate the court. They don't call anything if your not from the "home team". The people in the stands literally have to tell them what calls to make which is sad. The weekend pass is $45 and the condition of the place is dark and dirty. The majority of the food served is fried with no healthy options. If my kid is playing a sport and has a break between games why would I want to feed him fried food? They need to provide other options for the athletes. I would not recommend booking tournaments here at all.

What history this gymnasium holds. Boo Williams Sportsplex has generated tourism and tax revenue for the city of Hampton for over 10 years. Annual weekend tournaments are the main attraction. However, I was just informed that the partners who paid for and own the building want to sell it. Being that Hampton makes so much revenue with this location they don't want to lose that annual economic activity. So Hampton will be paying portions off for the next few years until it is owned by the city of Hampton. How unique is that?! Thought I'd share.Okay so I originally attended this location for a birthday event. The event was set up in the media room which also lead outside to grilling space. The lighting in the building were all new and updated. The flooring and walls were all very fresh. Overall great bones this place has. They don't have WiFi here at this location which I did find to be a bit odd but other than that; the venue it's is very large and there's lots of parking!

Disorganized place of business. Should just shut down until Covid is over if they continue to mismanage the place. Making people wait outside in the cold without even seeing if the place is full is just rude!

My son went to an overpriced basketball camp here last summer. He also played AAU here last year. Most tournaments were $10-$20 admission and were one and done events. I'm here now to watch a friend's child play a middle school game. Parking is horrible. This will be the last time I come here.

This place is ridiculous! I have been coming to this facility for the last two years for my son's track meets. It's outrageous having to pay $6-8 in theory to watch my son run one race that takes less then 6 seconds! Also the fact that they will not allow the athlete to bring in their own healthy snacks is crazy! They don't even sell the things I want my son to have! Most of their food is fried and unhealthy! The customer service is often times pretty bad. For example, last weekend an older lady at the snack bar would not give me or let me pay for a bigger paper bowl! The one they were trying to serve my chicken strips in was a half the size of the chicken and it was fall out of the tiny container they gave it to me in! The lady was rude and insincere. I will never buy another thing from their facility again!

This place routinely takes advantage of the fact that you will pay to see your child play ball. I have paid up to $11 for one game at this facility. It's really shameful and greedy on their part. We will be asking our coach not to play there anymore. Facilities are average, bathrooms seem to have problems all the time.

Boo Williams is the Premiere venue for Basketball in VA and is nationally recognized all over the country. If you have a child that plays at the AAU level and or runs Track you know about this complex!

In many years of attending my daughters AAU basketball tournaments all over the United States I have never seen such terrible facility and tournament management in my life. Starting with the pickiest registration process I have ever seen (they were asking for the girls state issued ID's, ummm they are 13. When we said we didn't have them, the lady said that the military issued ID's for 13 year olds. Welp, we are from KY, and none of our parents are in the military) All of our girls had their AAU cards, birth certificates, and school report cards) The refs clearly picked which calls they were going to make while ignoring others, at one point our player was punched 4 times in front of a ref who called nothing. 3 seconds in the paint doesn't exist here. "Security" searched all players and parent bags for contraband protein bars and for gods sake you better make sure your coaches are wearing collared shirts and khaki pants or they won't be allowed on the court.First and last time we will attend a tournament here and you better believe this review will make the twitter rounds.
