I play there on a Friday night co-ed league and have a great time. My team is a lot of fun to play with and we usually make it too the playoffs at the end of the season. You even win a championship t-shirt if you win! They have all new turf (2010) and the place is maintained very well. It is clean and functional. We have a blast there. It is really hopping on Friday nights. After the games, we go upstairs for cold beer and pizza and watch more games down below. My daughter plays tot-soccer there and loves her coach. She always looks forward to going because it is fun for her. A lot of imagination and play. She is four. They also have a Monday program for 6-year olds and a little older. We really enjoy the place, and it is close by!
The ONLY thing Fairfax Sportsplex has going for itself is their convenient location. But given their other problems, it's not worth wasting your money for this one advantage. Go play at Dulles Sportsplex, Rockville Sportsplex, or Barcroft. Fairfax Sportsplex has terrible facilities (old fields, walls that are falling apart, absolutely no air conditioning/heat of any kind) and some of the worst referees I've ever encountered. I've been playing soccer for over 20 years, so that should hopefully put my assessment into perspective. But the worst thing about this place is the management. They do not care one bit about their customers. We had problems with refs, with schedules (the scheduling here is a disaster) and we barely received so much as a reply from management. One week they did not even send out game times, so everybody in the league missed their game. Did management care and reschedule the games? Not a chance. The breaking point came when one of our refs verbally assaulted a player on our team. He actually tried to fight our player, but our player avoided confrontation and backed away. We went to complain to the manager but guess what? He WAS the manager. So we called and emailed higher level management. After a week of no response, we received a one line email saying something to the effect of "we don't care - get over it." Our whole team was appalled and we moved to Dulles Sportsplex. The bottom line? Don't even think about wasting your money here for the sake of convenience. You will regret it, like me and my entire team did. Do yourself a favor and play elsewhere
