| - I played kickball here for summer outdoor and winter indoor and had a fine experience and a bad experience, respectively. But overall, I do not recommend Cleveland Plays (for kickball anyway) and they aren't the only game in town.
I do not recommend because:
First off, you pay $440 per season, which is real expensive and $120 more than the competition (Hermes), which is competently run. You'd think with such a high service fee that the service would be good, but you would be wrong.
If you have a problem or need to contact them they take their sweet time responding to you, if they bother to at all -customer service is not a priority. I had a legit grievance, brought it to John and the other dude in a timely manner (the next day) and they ignored and put me off until it was too late to do anything and then tried to make me feel bad about complaining at all. I guess I'm just one of those people that expects rules of the game to be enforced, but CP isn't of the same mind.
Their refs don't always know the rules, take the time to know them, and sometimes don't enforce the rules.
You are also supposed to receive a t-shirt as part of your (expensive) league fees but my teammates and I didn't either season.
Other reviewers are correct in that they don't update the website with wins/losses/ranks, etc. and they take forever to get the season up.
Basically, if you're interested in playing Kickball, having it correctly refereed, paying a reasonable price, receiving what is due your team and being appropriately communicated with about the league opt for Hermes Sport & Social and AVOID Cleveland Plays.
