Virginia Beach Field House

My wife and I have had our son signed up here for multiple things in the last couple years but this year we signed him up for the sports stars academy which consisted of basic techniques for soccer, lacrosse, basketball and baseball. Kind of disappointed because of the rescheduling that happened very often and most of all the class literally had only 2 kids but they were able to include my son in the whole entire class of basketball till January. In a way that kind of makes up for it because my son had gained interested in another sport. Main point it the organization wasn’t that great and the lack of back up coaches, led to cancelled classes and rescheduling.

The seemingly impossible has happen to this great athletic building. It is being obviously neglected. After opening around 6 – 7 years ago and having hundreds and hundreds of kids use the facility it is flat out worn down. A crying shame since the owner of at least two other facilities like this is killing it with profits.
Parking is awesome, no issues any time I have ever been there. It has been three years since I last attended an event. At that time I did not see the issues that I do now on the interior.
My son attended an event over the weekend for Operation Smile. When coming in the door the young lady attending the desk asked if we needed help and did direct us which was fantastic. No debris in the lobby was also terrific.
There are courts and field every where in this two story structure, so you do need to know where you are going. There is a food area in the center of the lower level. There is an arcade and party room on the second floor. There are also other multi purpose rooms for events last I heard weekend birthday parties were booked a year in advance.
The best thing going for the facility is the fact the have so many fields under cover. So weather does not play a factor. Your in a climate controlled building. This alone should give it at least a 3 right? Well in my book NO! Although this was the aspect of facility I would give a 4, or 5 too! The areas of competition were great!
There is a food court. During event times its mobbed and not cheap. I had chicken tenders and fries. Fries great, chicken over cooked. The staff person was great. They sell beer & wine which is a huge hit among parents that want to party while there kids play a match for hours. The lounge area even has big screen TV’s. But is was dirty. Carpets worn, furniture worn and dirty. Debris was every where and I never saw anyone pick up. This is an obvious self bus, cans ever where. But people are pigs
The spectator area has aluminum risers. Bring something to sit on or your ass will go numb. There was trash every where under them. Cans every where, again people can be pigs. Evidently no janitorial staff until they close. They do offer FREE WiFi and it worked great!
Restrooms/​locker rooms smelled, were dirty, had broken plumbing witnessed on one of the urinals and painted walls faded and nasty with buggers wiped all over them by the urinals. Just disgusting! There was a huge gap in the wall that needed caulk and repainted that was unsightly.
I will not plan any event, or recommend them. Clean up your act and get this facility back on track. The owner is not reinvesting in what I understand to be his most lucrative field house. Since there are no negatives reviews in past year I assume things have recently took a turn for worse.

I signed my son up for youth flag football in April of this year. Season was supposed to start May 26^th. I received no communication until after that date. Due to a lack of sign ups, the youth 5 – 6 league was cancelled. On June 4^th, I received an email stating our registration fee would be refunded. I emailed multiple times to inquire about when, no response. I called on June 12^th and relieved a call back the following day but the lady who called me back couldn’t help me. I’m not sure why she even called me back. She giggled and said I or the person in charge of that will call you later today. I didn’t receive a response. I called again June 22^nd and talked to the person in charge who said they are backed up with refunds and I should call back July 1^st if I still haven’t received it. It should not take this long to process a refund and their lack of communication will keep me from coming back.

Have played in co-​ed soccer leagues here for the past few years. Facility is great, staff is helpful, fields are really nice and the number of options for different sports cant be matched anywhere else. This place is huge! Its nice to have the option to grab some food or a drink after a game.

Like this place. It is a great place to play sports and drink beer slash eat.

Excellent facility for multiple events!!! Right now going on is national wrestling, ju-​jitsu, flag football, soccer, and cross-​fit competition. Yes all of it at the same time!!! With a restaurant inside you are good to go all day!!!

The first time I went to the field house I was watching one of my friends play kickball. Is a fun-​filled stablishment also got the watch some men play flag football other sports going on along with the arcade and things to do with the children great place to take a famil. y

Love this place! I’ve been here several times for end of season baseball parties and birthday parties. It’s always great. The staff is wonderful, too.

I just spent a day here for a tournament and was overall impressed with the facilities. Tons of parking, tons of bathroom stalls, and everything just seemed clean. The curtains in between courts and mesh nets above the plexiglass was super helpful during the games. It’s awesome that they have a dining area with real food (e.g. not just snacks and drinks) and big screen TVs and a child care area where I hear you can drop off your little ones. Would definitely come back!

Cool little spot next to the VB Sportplex. I was there Saturday morning for the Wheeler Dodgeball charity event and had an absolute blast.
I’m not sure how this entire place is all set up but here is what I gathered:
— Floors are painted with basketball boundary lines. I didn’t see any hoops but I imagine you can throw the rock around in here.
— Heavy duty curtains allow you to have multiple games of dodgeball without balls going across the courts (balls going sideways can be an issue though)
— There is a turf field for soccer but I saw some kids practicing ground balls
— ALCOHOL. They serve alcohol. Parents, send your kids to engage in some sports activities and go ahead and get toasted in the lounge with multiple TVs.
Lots going on out there. I was able to play dodgeball and hang out in the lounge to get some work done in between games while watching the Olympics.
Cool spot.

My son participated in the Sports Stars Academy last summer. That class is what introduced us to the Field House and he loved it. He was in the Big Dippers class. Lauren, the instructor, was awesome with the kids. They started by running through an obstacle course that was set up, then they’d play games and work on various skills. It was great exercise and built social skills. After the class they got to go play in the fun zone, which he also loved. The fun zone is a great, inexpensive place to bring your kids to play on a rainy or cold day. It’s only $ 3/​child, and if they’re in the Sports Stars class, they play for free after the class. The Field House offers adult and youth leagues and camps. There is even a Summer Run & Fun camp that can serve as a day care option to keep your kids active over the summer. There is a restaurant, too, but I’ve never tried it. The Field House is really a neat place and you should find an excuse to check it out sometime.
You can check them out on Facebook, too:

This has to be the largest indoor sports venue in Hampton Roads. They have 4 full size athletic fields for soccer, lacrosse, or flag football that are completely closed in by 8 foot tall plexi-​glass and are netted up to the ceiling. They have a huge basketball/​volleyball court that can be laid out for 4 full size b-​ball courts or 8 volley ball courts. They have 2 smaller athlectic fields upstairs for soccer but they are also set up so they convert to batting/​pitching cages. They have a play ground and game room for smaller kids to stay occupied. They host children’s parties and also offer onsite catering. My daughter’s soccer team had their end of season party here. We had full use of the large field for an hour and then a pizza party in one of their party rooms. Their restaurant has 2 giant projection screen TVs and several smaller TVs that you can watch while lounging on the sofa or eating in the dining room. There are TVs throughout the entire facility. They serve BEER and wine and allow you to drink anywhere in the facility. Even if you aren’t a sports enthusiest, this place is a must see! Caution, you may need help picking up your jaw off the floor! My Daughter has played in the soccer leagues and has participated in clinics. My Son attended a pitching clinic here that was top notch! I even play in the adult soccer league. My only complaint is that they didnt build it closer to my house!
