Upside SportsPlex

Negative experience: The facility itself is fine. The staff and the ridiculous rules, however, are another story. No outside food or drink for spectators is dumb in itself but to not allow players to bring a snack or sandwich in, is just extra dumb. The concession stand has ZERO healthy options for our athletes. A previous reviewer mentioned an entitled teenager w attitude at the door...yep. attitude, attitude, attitude *smh No weekend pass, over $20 per person per day to watch and $2 for a small bottle of water. Do better. Gouging is not a pretty look for your facility.

Fantastic experience: First time what fun, beautiful, well made loved it. We finished 2nd place

Fantastic experience: My daughter plays basketball and this is where they practice.

Positive experience: It was okay except there is no internet access while in the gym..

Negative experience: This place does not allow you to bring in a drink, not even a water bottle from outside, I only see the complaint about this for basketball so I am really wondering if this outside food/drink rule is just for basketball or at all times for all sports? If basketball is being singled out then shame on them.

Fantastic experience: Love it here, such friendly people.

Positive experience: Parking is a chore. Hard to find a spot.

Positive experience: It is a nice facility but they need to clean the courts more frequently. Kids are sliding down on the dust.

Fantastic experience: Awesome basketball court

Fantastic experience: Great facility, nice staff and LOTS of pickleball

Fantastic experience: Upside is a wonderful place to play pickleball. People r super friendly, and willing to help a beginner like me. Owner, Toby, is a hoot! Special thanks go out to Doug, Ashley, my granddaughter, for their great teaching instructions, and patience with me.

Fantastic experience: My daughter plays vollyball outta there and a great place

Positive experience: Kinda expensive for drop-in play, 8 dollars per player. Terrible cell phone reception inside of building (T mobil)

Fantastic experience: Great place for some morning Pickelball. They were open today for Memorial Day, which was a huge plus. Total of 9 courts using stack system and everyone there is welcoming and a pleasure to play with.

Negative experience: If a zero-star rating were possible, I would give it without hesitation. Unfortunately, that's not an option. I need to emphasize this: IF YOU ARE A PERSON OF COLOR, ESPECIALLY WITH MELANIN IN YOUR SKIN, THIS GYM IS NOT SAFE FOR YOU. This is not an opinion but a factual observation. From the behavior & disrespect of a certain entitled teenaged male staff member to the ongoing profiling of black players, this establishment does not deserve to have integrated players playing at this location. IT IS UNSAFE FOR THEM HERE!!! The employees, local teams from Friendswood and Alvin, and referees all contribute to a hostile environment intentionally. My advice: Save your money, time, energy, and, most importantly, safeguard your players by avoiding this place altogether.

Positive experience: Nice courts, however it's too expensive, they charge $20 per person per day to see your child play basketball. If both parents and a sibling wants to support , would be $60 per day. Also, they don't accept credit cards, it's all cash and force you to download an app to pay cash. In addition, they don't let you in a cup of coffee or snack from the outside. We want to support our kids but on the other side, they make it difficult.

Fantastic experience: I was so happy to see such a beautiful, neat / clean and quality place. It was just a brief visit. I will add more to the review once we are done with our day there later this month.

Positive experience: The parking is the worst!

Positive experience: Great place for the sports fanatic. I go for pickleball.

Fantastic experience: One side is for seating and there is plenty. Great space for AAU and other basketball events.

Fantastic experience: Team Mindset Fall Ball Champs

Fantastic experience: Had an argument with another pickleball player, staff handled it like professionals. Lots of good courts for open play.

Negative experience: $15 to watch 9yo nephew play basketball? Guess they’re not making enough robbing old ladies and stealing baby formula. Creeps

Positive experience: This is a great gym for some Be Someone Basketball. The gym's are top notch, along with the bathrooms as well.

Positive experience: Clean bathrooms and well maintained facility! Nice addition to have ice cream bar!

Fantastic experience: Great facility. A lot bigger than it looks on the outside. Definitely needs more parking space!

Positive experience: Really loved the atmosphere and the facility. The bathrooms were clean even with hundreds of girls playing basketball and throughout the 2 days all day long. The seating was also good with multiple tournaments on each floor. The only criticism is the inner snack bar with ice cream servings. The food preparation was deplorable. The cones were sitting directly on the counter and exposed. The strawberries were inside a container with used and whole strawberries not stored in the fridge (didnt apoear to have been washed), and banana peels still left on the counter while the worker was scrolling and eating pop-corn. Sales were missed due to poor food presentations.

Fantastic experience: Upside is a fantastic venue for indoor pickleball. They have 9 courts! There is a nice, new gym with exercise equipment too. The management is excellent. All the employees are very friendly and helpful!

Positive experience: Nice facility. Air conditioning was nice and cool. Court 1 is a single court with 3 rows of metal spectator benches. Courts 2 & 3 are located together but divided by a fabric wall, each with 3 rows of metal benches. The fabric wall blocked most of the whistles from the other court so it wasn't too bad. Can't bring your own food though. Would have liked to bring healthier stuff than was served at the snack bar.

Positive experience: My first visit to the gym and it was on a Saturday for Son basketball game. Fee to enter, and was very crowded. Court is a good size, games were shorter than we are used to with YMCA. They sell snacks which is a plus! The parking lot could be bigger They offer camps and coaching per the posters I saw up on the wall

Fantastic experience: My son plays Basketball here. The courts are great. The facility is great, and the owners really keep the place top notch!

Negative experience: The place is ok but to expensive and rude staff members at the end of the game in two minutes they turn the lights off without no warning . We could even take a picture of the our kids

Fantastic experience: Love this place, very clean and great staff. One of the best sports complexes in Texas. Basketball, Volleyball and you guessed it Pickle ball.

Fantastic experience: Great sports facility, very nice courts, full concessions, gym and restrooms. More parking would be nice, other than that…Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Very nice facility 4 indoor

Positive experience: Well-managed site! Fun to officiate basketball there

Positive experience: It’s a nice complex. I’m taking away a star only because the seating isn’t optimal and it’s incredibly crowded, inside and outside. The parking is awful. The facilities are very nice though and the new addition is a huge improvement.

Fantastic experience: Nice sport center. Has 3 basketball gyms. Clean place inside & outside.

Fantastic experience: Really nice although I think the bleachers should have a back to it because people could fall backwards

Fantastic experience: This is a great gym. It is tiny but they have everything you could need and I rarely have to wait for open equipment. It is a family run business and they awesome people who truly care.

I highly recommend Upside Sportsplex!

Fantastic experience: I have been to many places for basketball tournaments and this place I have to say have the BEST live stream I have ever sen.
