Indoor Goals / Jumbos Pickleball

We love bringing our kids here for soccer every Saturday. We are heart broken to hear of Indoor Goals upcoming closure this October. We are just so grateful for Todd and Meg to have opened their doors to teach our kiddos. Good luck and many blessings in your future endeavors!

Our REC team of ages 9-10 were so excited to experience playing Indoor Soccer for the first time. However, our excitement quickly turned into disappointment/frustration as we consistently played against teams that were 2-3 years older than our boys and even against club teams. This was a clear mismatch, and our boys never had a chance to compete.

We (mistakenly) decided to sign up for a second season, hoping for better age-matched and more equitable matches as promised by Meg, but that never happened. Our boys were completely overwhelmed from the start. We all like a good challenge, but we also want them to be fair.

The facility itself is run-down and cold, with one part of the building closed off, causing all the parents/spectators to gather on one side. The turf is. I don't even know if you can call it turf.

Overall, would never go back to Indoor Goals. I am so happy our time with them is over.

Updated 4/19/23: Our team had an absolutely terrible experience with Indoor Goals. Let me make it clear that we know that the kids we played against were significantly older. We had several parents inquire about this and Meg herself confirmed that they were older. It was SO obvious during the games that OTHER parents were coming up to us wondering the same thing. Despite assurances from Meg that the next season would be more evenly matched, nothing was done to rectify the situation. We were bamboozled.

Bleachers: the presence of bleachers for spectators is useless when they are constantly closed off. Throughout our entire second season, the bleachers remained closed off, leaving our families and supporters with no place to sit and watch the games. The explanation given by Meg was that "children were running around too much. " This is a puzzling excuse, as it is an indoor sports facility, and children running around is to be expected. It seems that their solution to this supposed problem was to make the space smaller, which raises more questions than it answers. So most people stood around and others resorted to sitting on the tables.

Local Craft Beers: Beverages can be a great addition to any event, but it's only enjoyable when you're actually able to purchase them. Unfortunately, this was not the case at this facility. The individual who was stationed at the "bar" was underage (as we were told) and not legally allowed to serve any alcoholic drinks. So there goes that.

Hockey glass: the hockey glass at this facility is severely scratched, making it almost impossible to see through without pressing your face against it.

Turf: I said what I said about the turf. -_-

Player's Cards: Bought for $15.00.never had them checked once. Just wondering.what was the point?

Our goal in pursuing indoor soccer was to continue to challenge and inspire our group of kids, while also keeping them engaged in the game they love. I genuinely wished we never did.

Our family has been playing indoor soccer and baseball at Indoor Goals for the past 6 years. It’s awesome to have my kids learning to play soccer at the same facility I played at growing up. Meg, Todd and their family of staff do an incredible job of making sport inclusive and fun for all. Indoor Goals has for many years been an important puzzle piece to the success of youth soccer, lacrosse and other sports for 20+ years. Not only giving all a chance to learn to play a sport but to also support those learning to ref. Thank god they were able to weather the covid closures, when many similar facilities have closed.

They have a wonderful website detailing the sports supported and age groups for each sport. My kids intro to soccer was with Meg & Todd in the U5 classes and now play U11. Age groups are broken out by “odd” years (U5, U7, U11, etc), with birth years for each detailed out on their website. The recent comment about their kids playing with others 2-3 years older is just untrue. Based on the ages of 9-10 detailed, they were playing U11 if they have 10 year olds on the team. Max age for that group is 11 years old. With all indoor soccer facilities being a mix of club teams and recreational teams, the staff does a great job with a difficult task of trying to make the games as even as possible.

Our family has mostly played indoor soccer here, though have also attended Cedar Mill baseball tryouts and practices with excellent batting cage nets. The staff does a great job of maintaining the facilities and multiple playing surfaces including the synthetic turf. The recent review complaining of the quality of the turf is unfair given it is equal to or better than the other facilities in Portland and Tualatin. Maybe they are comparing it to the permanently installed outdoor artificial grass, which is much different from removable indoor turf. Unfair to complain about the quality of facility when there are zero new multi-sport indoor facilities in the same area, and the remaining ones lucky to be able to afford to stay open.

Indoor Goals has multiple bleacher areas for spectators to view from including a home and away side, a large viewing area as soon as you enter the front doors so non-players can feel close to the action, as well as a fun bar top area for friends and family to hang out in. They have a great selection of beverages including local craft beers, as well as snacks and candy. Our teams parents and players recently attended a Minor League Indoor Soccer game there and had a blast!

I've been coming to indoor goals for over 3 years. When I first moved to Oregon i had little to no friends. I emailed indoor goals and got into a team right away that I've been playing with ever since. Maybe this review is biased since it has a soft spot in my heart, but the refs, cashiers, and all people there are great. Definitely would recommend people to network here to play some footy.
