The Calgary Central Sportsplex — Basketball

My son participated in the basketball program at the Calgary Central Sportsplex last Saturday. The instructor, Jake, was not only knowledgeable but also made sure every child felt included, which I appreciated. My son, who is quite active, got a chance to improve his shooting skills during drills and even made a couple of friends from different schools. The facility was a bit crowded, especially when we showed up for the pickup—it took a little longer to find him amidst the hustle. However, the overall communication from the staff was solid, and they ensured everyone knew where to go. For about $15 per session, it felt like a decent value for the skills he is learning and the friendships he is making. I would definitely recommend it, but just be prepared for a busier environment if you attend during peak times.

We recently enrolled our 12-year-old in the weekly basketball program at The Calgary Central Sportsplex, and overall, it was a solid experience. The instructor, Jamie, was enthusiastic and provided constructive feedback to the kids, which kept my son engaged and motivated. He particularly enjoyed practicing his shooting skills and even made a few new friends during the drills. However, I noticed that the gym tends to get quite crowded during the schedule we attended, which made it a bit chaotic at times when trying to pick up my child. Thankfully, the staff was helpful in managing the situation. The price is reasonable for the quality of instruction, and I appreciate the inclusive environment they promote. I would recommend this program, especially for children who are active and looking to enhance their skills in a fun setting.
