SCOR-Sports Center of Richmond

I will preface this review by saying my only experience with SCOR is related to birthday parties. I have no experience with classes or league play.
I feel like I always have a stressful time finding a place to throw my children’s birthday parties, especially in the 4 – 5 year age range where they seem too young for certain activities but too old for others. After a lot of online research, I found SCOR, and decided to give them a try. It ended up being a great choice for my son’s 5^th birthday party. They literally took care of everything.
They have a selection of party packages with various add-​ons. We chose option 2 package which covered up to 12 children ($ 8 for each additional child) with pizza (from Piccolas, which I LOVE). They were given 1 hour of field play and about 30 minutes in the party room, though we probably spent a little longer in there. They gave me a list of activities to select from and the party host did a great job of keeping the kids entertained and active on the field.
I had bought all the paper products before realizing SCOR provided these as well, so I was able to return everything and save some money. Everything was set up when we arrived too, so when I showed up a little early to get ready, there really wasn’t anything for me to do! They literally took care of everything! Overall I think it was a great choice for us. Very low maintenance for me, we just had to take care of the cake (which they could also handle if you so wanted), and send the invitations. And, major plus points in this family, they sell beer (a staple for a kid’s party if you ask me).

So I have been here three times now and like most people/​members we all come here because we’re all part of a team for River City Sports & Social Club. There are all sorts of sports you can be play here including: dodge ball, wiffle ball, softball, kickball, corn hole and few others. I come here to play volleyball for the spring season. There are two different outdoor fields here and one big indoor area which I go to for volleyball, which has fake grass.
The parking lot can be small and fill up very quickly on popular nights, especially on Thursdays when I come. If you arrive too late, good luck finding parking or park somewhere where there is no designation for it. The front desk attendees don’t normally check your ID to see if you’re a member, especially if you have a corresponding colored team shirt on for that season. In order to play here, you have to be a member, but it’s only $ 20 bucks and it’s for a year.
The place is relatively clean and fairly easy to navigate. The referees are all pretty chill and some are more laid back than others. If you’re playing a sport indoors, there are some small bleachers for your friends/​family to come watch you play and hangout. They also have a bar of course for all your miller lite needs. They also have skee ball for 25 cents, too! Not sure how the other fields fair up, but the volleyball area is pretty well maintained and comes close to regulation dimensions? I wouldn’t mind coming to play another sport here.

I played a season of indoor (7 a side) at SCOR and enjoyed it. It’s not too cheap but the league we played in was fairly evenly matched, mostly well organised and had good referees. One issue was that a couple of the games were called off because of forfeits, which is quite frustrating when you’re paying for only six or seven games. A lot of the games also got a bit heated because of the physical nature of the games, with the ball never going out of play and players pushing each other into the walls etc.

I’m a fan of Scor! I’ve only come here as a result of the River Cities Sport & Social Club, but I’ve had great experiences during my dodgeball nights!
First off, it’s easy to navigate the arena and figure out where you’re supposed to be. But more importantly, their bars are the perfect option for a quick drink with your entire social club team before parting ways to different areas of town. For this past season of dodgeball, it was suoer convenient to be able to convene by the bar, order quick drinks, and continue the fun via cornhole, foosball and old fashioned conversation.
It’s nothing fancy, but if you’re participating in an RCSSC sport, this is a great place to bond with your teammates.

Terrible league.
SCOR is the nicer of the facilities in Richmond for indoor soccer but they are awful at running a league. They don’t have real referees first off, so that’s a joke to begin with. Tonight we showed up to play and there was no other team, apparently they dropped out and instead of calling us SCOR decided to assemble a hodge podge mess of joke players. We drove all the way out at 10pm on a Friday night to play a competitive match and ended up playing a worthless, joke of a game, with no referee to start, and pissed off.
I can’t wait until somebody opens a REAL indoor league and makes some REAL money doing it.
Don’t waste your time here, RISE isn’t any better either.
