Keva is good for sports, but if youre considering them for summer camp Im not sure it will be a good fit. We spent thousands on summer camps in 2019 for 2 kids as did our friend for their son. Great experiences and field trips. Highly organized, but the counselors they hire are high school students who bullied them and said things to them I dont want to repeat. We reached out to the president & directors of the program. It was verbally handled and the kids still had problems with bullying afterward. They also have a strong no cell phone use policy, however the kids would say how theyd sit on others phones. We send them to camp for structure, fun, and creativeness. Not to use technology. Hoping theyve hired better staff. Total bummer. Had planned to enroll them again. Not after this experience. The man who was in charge of the adventure camps and was the driver, he was great.

Lyle Schaefer is the best tennis coach! My brother and I both took lessons from Lyle at Keva when we were in high school and now our nephew takes lessons from Lyle. Keva is spacious, clean, family-friendly and conveniently located. The Middleton and Madison area are very fortunate to have an entertainment building that hosts a variety of sports for people of all ages.

Great place for indoor fun. Only $25 a year for membership. We go to open play during the winter. Only complaint is they use to have more stuff to play with during open play.

Really great place! A nice recreational center with plenty of space for both kids and adults! They have plenty of equipment and a concession stand too so participants dont have to be hungry. Also they have tv where they show sports games and locker rooms are generally well kept! Really enjoy the place and the staff

I LOVE this building! My daughter participates in Soccer with Reach Dance, and most of her soccer days take place here. Safe, Clean, Family-Friendly environment. They even have a consession stand where they serve food and drinks. Indoor playground and a bar outside near the volleyball area. Very nice environment!

Nice facility and fun place to play with good beer. But, most employees give off a vibe that they dont want to be there. Weve played with maybe one or two refs who are decent. If you dont mind inconsistent play calls and poor attitudes then you will be fine.

Play if you want to spend ridiculous amounts of money for grumpy (or absent completely) refs, lack of communication, and inaccurate tournament placement. This place has no idea what it’s doing. Waste. Of. Money.

The sports center portion of everything was great, I think of cilities look really nice. However, the staff for her birthday party could use a little work. We had parents and kids standing around for 5 minutes after the start of our birthday party reservation and nobody knew what was going on. It still was pretty chaotic towards the end as well, just needs a little more organization.

This is a great family friendly place. They go out of their way to make sure anything you want to do is available. There is basically a level to play any sport you want. If you are not athletic and hate exercise more than a root canal there is a league for you too. Spend enough time there and you will understand my analogy better. There is also the highly competitive Presidents Cup (soccer) that is held here. This indoor tournament sees players from all levels including professional, collegiate, and high school stars. Membership options offer many other activities and events as well. Let me put it this way. If you had the capital and could invest in a facility like this you would do it just like this place. Stop reading and just go.

KEVA has a lot of events and is a very nice facility. It is well maintained and clean. It is my experience that they could give their coaches more training so that they are actually teaching the little kids something. The adult volleyball leagues are also good. They have sand volleyball in the summer.

This place reminds me of a college students apartment in one of the new swanky high rises on campus. Sure looks nice but in reality is kept like a dump. Like today I noticed all the other businesses plowed their lots. Not Keva. Had to walk through several inches of snow, socks got sloshing wet. How nice. Nothing like risking slipping on their property. They must have good liability insurance, but then again probably not liable. Also love playing with wet socks. Their courts are full of dirt chunks and dust makes for a great slippery surface to play on. The staff are usually just sitting around doing nothing during the day when its not heavily used. Like they cant regularly run a dry mop on the courts during the down times? Bathrooms are disgusting. Snack bar, usually out of most of the items on the menu. Either someones mom needs to come in to clean and bring groceries for these college students or this place will end up in the dump.

Kids love running around on their indoor fields and playing with their kids equipment. We had a membership and they have open play times you can come in and let the kids run around on their indoor soccer fields. It was great in the warmer months and I imagine itd be even better in the colder months when being outside is hard to do with little ones.

Yesterday we took part in a birthday celebration for our 5 year old grandson. We want to stand up and shout out our applause and kudos to the team at Keva for helping us create the BEST birthday celebration ever. From A to Z, everything went off without a single hitch. What great fun we all had! your staff is over the top courteous, attentive, happy and fun. THANK YOU!!!!

Though Madison Elite Volleyball closes its page for parental reviews I wanted to leave one at their practice location sites in the instance that it can be found by other parents considering signing up their daughters. In less than six months, Coach Amy Anderson under the leadership of Kevin Scopeline permanently removed my daughter’s natural love and propensity for volleyball. The organization is massive, expensive, disorganized, and emails go unaddressed. Twice I witnessed the coach pushing kids out of the way to hit the volleyball herself while she played during practice. Often I watched my daughter stand disheartened and sad on the sidelines, completely ignored by her coach. While I had no experience with club volleyball prior to this, it soured my categorization of the sport. If club volleyball is your thing, go elsewhere.

We are on our 4th or 5th class with KEVA now and I cannot say enough great stuff about this facility! The coaches are super fun and energetic ...the classes run really smoothly and are very fun for the kids. I have seen a significant increase in skills for both of my boys, but most importantly, they just keep wanting to go back to KEVA. Spring break camp next week! Thanks for all you do...

Refs stink. Friday night Rec league soccer = concussion (and broken nose) and out of work/unable to drive for a week. Player who gave me a concussion never apologize and played the rest of the game. Shouldve been red carded. Unacceptable behavoir, especially for C division soccer. Happened less than 2 minutes into the game.Dont waste your money. Youll get hirt. Go play at 608 or break away instead.

UPDATE: Its been over one week since the email to the manager/administrator of toddler sports and I have heard nothing back.This only relates to toddler soccer - the only real experience I have had lately.I cannot take my child there any longer and trust that he will be safe in the classes. There was 1 child then it grew to 2 (they rile each other on) that run around out of control (running kids over from behind) and in one instance kicked a ball as hard as one could into the face of the other (he was laying on the ground). Again, why was he on the ground - they rough house. Fine if they were the only ones on the field - but there are about 12 kids total out there.Alone, I might be able to chalk that up to kids being kids. My issue that I see no corrective action with neither the child nor the parent.Which goes to another point: there are anywhere from 2 to 4 instructors managing the class. There is only 1 that appears to be be vocal and instruct anything. All others do not appear to be helping or giving any indication to what soccer is. When they break into groups, if they are no in the group with the 1 instructor that appears to try - its bedlam: kids to what they want.I spoke early on with the instructors to ask how they handle kids like this and the response I got was they get an understanding of each kids skill level and demeanor. That might be ok for the first or second week - but never when you are running kids over from behind or kicking a ball into someones face.We may come back when the kid is older but for now I could never recommend for toddler activities.

While I have been to Keva a few times for open play and enjoyed it. My recent dissatisfaction was that I signed up as a free agent for co-ed and asked specifically to the staff if I was guaranteed to play and I was told YES. I called today to confirm my game time and then was told that I dont have a team. A call to me that I wasnt on a team would have been appreciated, so that I could have potentially looked into other options. Furthermore, to get my refund, I have to wait 2-4 weeks. Sounds pretty efficient over there!

Facilities are in great shape for how often they are used. My biggest issue is the extremely late start (9:30 - 11:30PM) for some soccer games. This makes it very difficult for parents to make a game due to the late starts.

Very expensive. Be prepared for extra fees and high prices if you play soccer to support their other sports. Facilities are good, but definitely dont match the cost.

Great place for leagues. Some of the games start exceptionally late during the week (11:30 pm), so just have enough substitutes available.

Review №51

Open play soccer is rarely open, if not open at all. Multiple times a group of friends and I showed up only to find out we could not play despite being told we would be emailed if the fields were taken. A staff member also seemed to be very unprofessional when I asked for my money back by tossing my money back to me accidentally, instead of placing it in my open hand. Anyone interested in playing open soccer for the same prices with good staff should go to breakaway.

Horrible customer service! Be sure to read the fine-print in their agreements. We signed up for a summer volleyball league and we are very disappointed. Apart from the league fee, they charge an additional fee from each player. Dont get mislead by the low amount they show for the league membership since they end up charging a lot at the end ($ 15 per player on top of ~$ 310- $335, adds up!), and they do not communicate these additional charges clearly. Management is horrible in handling customer complaints and I felt they are extremely money minded and not concerned about providing a reasonable service to the customer. Madison has many other options for sports clubs and this will be the last time I am doing business with Keva.

Service there is good but the refs need to step up. Just had a game and so much useless calls were toward us . Yes we won but your still a ref and need to stick to that not helping the other team. And what is this new rule talking about if the ball touches the wall and the goalie picks it up its a foul. I know my rules but keva please send better and experienced refs to the games. Will really appreciate it, I dont know if its our race thats the problem but it needs to stop. And this other rule is that it needs to be below the waist shouldnt be a foul. I need to say another thing about the ref, arent they supposed to ask the goalie if they are ready before the whistle, he didnt he just blew while I was putting on my gloves. But thats it. Nice place and all but refs need to step up.
