Family First Sports Park (Pennsylvania Academy Corp) Reviews

Clean facilities, several fields, not everything is open or accessible as it used to be

1. The basketball floors are dusty and slippery our team paid $500 to slip around like we were wearing skates

2. The staff was rude they like to play Mr. & Mrs. authority they boss people around and don t appreciate the business you give them

3. I started playing sports at the sports park when I was 7 and I have seen nothing but decline since early 2000s

4. If things don t change and they continue to lack appreciation for their customer then They will not receive future business but they won t care because they don t seem to value your business

5. A service rep reached out in response to my one star rating which I appreciated she asked how things can be improved and I believe that she will continue to follow up with customers and continue to make the customer experience better

It was really nice that me and my friends could play soccer outside, but when it gets cold out the dome is always occupied I wish they made another or have the option to rent it out.

I have been going to the Golf dome since the weather has been cold out, and Dave Smith has been nothing short of helpful. Nice to learn a few tips from an actual pro, good atmosphere and never too busy to where you can't just relax and focus on golf

Great place !!
Went there to watch my grandson play soccer for 2 games

Awesome place for kids. It will keep them busy,. I suggest bringing your own football, basketball , etc.....you could be waiting otherwise.

Great facility for skates and basketball players. Not as great for the spectators of those sports. Basketball at least has some bleachers but the two rinks are essentially standing room only. Not a terrible thing, but a bit rough for people who may not be able to stand for an hour at a time and/or those with kids. And you may have to share the spectator area with a birthday party cried. Also, it's legit cold in the skating area, as in not even the occasional space heater that you'd find in most rinks. Of course, most rinks have some seating that would lend itself to a space heater, so.... That said, this is a nice facility.

Still going strong, but the facilities are fairly run-down. Needs a few hundred thousand dollars of a makeover. It seems other groups have tried to put some lipstick on it over the years but it's just not there. Feels old and tired. Hoping someone will breathe some new life into this campus sooner than later; also hoping this is done with private money and not taxpayer dollars. :)

Good place to have a tournament in wasn't that expensive to get in which I appreciate it

Isn't what it used to be and will also be changing soon. Closed right now

Went to lacrosse tournament was leaving and went to use restroom but the doors were locked. When you have an event like this you keep your facilities open at least a half hour after it is completed for the day. There were still games being played on the fields when I left. Whats up with that.

Was too hot, even with fans running. Score boards clocks did not work on half the courts. Place has potential to be awesome if they put some money back in to it.

They need to have more workers it is like a ghost time every time I go there except one person in the field house everything else is closed. Also let people rent out the dome.

This place is so great. It has 4 indoor basketball courts and 2 indoor soccer fields. Outdoor basketball and many more things. The dorms are great.

Amazing facility, you can hold any event here and theres something to do for everyone!!!

Hockey rink area is nice, but the indoor soccer field is a mess. Rest rooms are disgusting. Had to walk to the ice rink area anytime my kids or I had to use the rest room.

Well for many years we've been going there for soccer games & practices but now someone else is running the show there & soccer being a great money maker for the community because of all the tournaments they hold there is now be pushed aside for hockey. Now don't get me wrong hockey is a great sport but build yourselves your own rinks. Why do the indoor soccer fields have to be turned into rinks? Well that's just my opinion. Soccer is a great sport & all my kids have played there as well as basketball. Hope those courts don't freeze over to.

Sports facility for kids and more.
Could use a facelift
Sports is crucial like music to our families and All kids. Can you imagine no competition and no experience of playing on a Team. Win or lose; we our teammates-friends for eternity. Cheer squads are the epitome of Teamwork.
These Are the building blocks of adulthood. Sure working is great to show work ethic and earn spending money. Not everybody gets to work as a kid, but school activities are available for most every child. The Hatred of peacefully protesting football players is sending kids the wrong message-success means you are a spoiled brat. No! Enough. All of us would give alot to be a pro athlete! Or Performer. Do you play sports? I still do everyday. I thrive on activity but need to play. Music and Art are very similar. Same mindset. NFL players are regulated, tested, questioned, insulted, overly praised and criticized. Did John Wayne play sports? Damn right there cowboys and cowgirls!!!
JFK play football? Knute Rockne? Bill Bradley play hoops?? Reagan and Ford play football?? Go Blue! By shunning peaceful protests of workers who risk much, you devalue every athlete's experience??? Please stop now. Watch the Steelers And browns and Bills and Cowboys, Vikings and Any other event you desire. Your boycott is not gonna matter. My pastor friend said that "holding onto anger, hatred and grudges is just like DRINKING POISON AND EXPECTING THE OTHER PERSON TO GET SICK"
In this case the Calzone Is football-shaped but it represents the Best of American athletes in all 'pursuits of happiness' You owe yourself a break. The founding fathers are watching. NFL btw stands tonight for "Not For Long" pirollo bros recipe calzone. Let's Eat!

We're up there alot for the MYAA basketball program which is very well run. The basketball area is well kept but other areas of the park are a bit run down. Great location and there is usually enough parking.

Very COLD. No seating for viewing. You can stand on the glass or go upstairs for overhead view. Overhead has nets all the way around

it was horrible!!!i went there last week.and some long haired throw back from the 60s was a complete jerk the place is falling apart.i had a lot of great memories of this place in the mid 90s.now its just a forgotton relic of what used to be,,sad,,,,

I enjoy utilizing the golf dome in the winter time in order to keep my golf swing in shape.

Based solely on the golf dome: we went to hit some balls and it still wasn't ready after the dome collapsed. Web site indicated it was open. Three of us drove there only to find it still closed. Contact said he had nothing to do with the website. Within minutes, the website was updated. Go figure.

Decent place. Nothing special. Coulx stand to be a bit cleaner.

Visited to watch grandson hockey game s always clean always fun place with more to do

Still no heating or proper seating for visitors. Rink and locker rooms is nice for skaters though

No bleachers for the soccer field. Stood for 3+ hours.

Both of my kids play hockey here. The facility is great. Two rinks that are cleaned between use and several locker rooms for players. There is a nice gym upstairs, but we already belong to another one or would consider this one.
I can t speak to the conditions of the other sports facilities offered here, but I know a lot of parents with kids in soccer leagues seem satisfied with that as well.

Always closed, never clean, and lacks the same appeal it had before it changed owners. Used to be fun and packed in the summer, now it is a wasteland.

Limited parking, basketball courts need renovations, not very clean.

Fun as usual, wasn't crowded but Visa machine was broke so I had to leave and go down the road to an Atm and then come back

Hopefully it will be restored to past quality since we need some family fun that doesn't rely on the intetnet

I enjoy going to this place to see my grandson play sports

Family First Athletic Club is a great place to workout utilizing everything from free weights to machines such as Hammer Strength, along with treadmills and other cardio equipment. Best price around as well!

my son plays football here for the chefs and their nice and friendly to my family and since their so nice they give us 80 percent off and it's because my son plays football here ;) you'll have the fun of your life her there's so much thing to do its a day trip

Ice rinks look amazing but basketball courts could use some maintenance

Great instructors for kids skating lessons. Glad to have ice time in Erie FINALLY

Our son plays hockey here 2x a week. Each week they state that the kids have 2 locker rooms. There roughly 40-50 kids who play. When we arrive, even though they have 2 rooms listed, they never unlock the other room even though it is never in use. This causes the kids to get ready out in the rink area. There is absolutely no way 40-50 kids plus, at least, 1 parent per kid can fit in one locker room. When the staff is approached, they are rude and act like you are bothering them even the manager!

Closed for the season. Says it will reopen in fall.

I was there for a volleyball tournament and the place was dirty. The floor was very dusty and there were dead mice spotted under the bleachers. Bathrooms ran out of toilet paper early in the day. Concession stand was non existent.

There are no bleachers or benches. You have to stand by the glass or upstairs to see. There are some chairs and stools, but you can't see down the ice if you sit on them. The roof was leaking during our game.

I drive a truck and I delivered the flooring a match for the cheer event. I hope the event went well and everyone enjoyed themselves
