Not open 24 hours. No one answers if you call. Rebecca thinks its ok to ignore people and not pay anyone.

Played in the summer league, every team we played against was great. Kind, courteous, and were ultimately there to have fun. No complaints at all. However, the games were ruined by Rebecca, who is the "commissioner" and apparently the only "ref" (which isn't surprising, if she's as miserable to work with as she is when she refs, I don't think anyone would want to work with her. The league ALWAYS has a banner on their site asking for referees and umpires, and it's clear to see why. Rebecca is rude, miserable, confrontational, uninterested, and all around just a low person. Each game I talked with the other team and all 5 of them had the same things to say about her, one player has played in multiple leagues that she "refereed" and said she's miserable to everyone. She yells at players for joking with each other, speaks to everyone including spectators in a condescending manner, and takes every opportunity she can to make the game about herself. It's hard to have fun in a RECREATIONAL league when the individual in charge is one of the coldest, meanest, lowest forms of people. Until they replace Rebecca, take your money elsewhere, like PSL, while they themselves aren't great, at lea

I know they have a lot of bad reviews but being my first time here I think the league is great! I wish they gave us more time to play is my only gripe! I joined the fall competitive bball league. Yeah the refs sometimes miss call and even though I may disagree, they still put for a great effort every game. Rebecca had been fantastic at communicating with me. The gym is so reminiscent of playing varsity basketball. Would and will highly recommend this organization to fellow Peers. Hopeful they do year round leagues as I would gladly sign up.

I always felt like we were playing against the refs. They pick a favorite to win the game it seems and nobody really gets any calls. I’ve played in multiple leagues for sports monster basketball and not once have we ever experienced new referees. After complaining multiple times hoping there would be made a difference, still nothing. They get their $25 a game either way. There’s no way we blow out every team in the league by 40 points and once we get to the playoffs they don’t make good calls for anyone. It had costed us multiple league titles. Anyone who runs sportsmonster usually doesn’t even know the rules of the game or what the regulations are. When there isn’t a ref, it’s a safety hazard and we’re practically playing football with no calls. Poor experience every single time and it’s not worth your money. Stop finding these people.

I played 2 seasons at Sports Monster in the summer and fall. Summer season was fine as there were 2 refs for mostly all our games. Games were fine and it was a little too competitive at times but overall fair. Fall season we had one ref for every game and basically all of the games out of a 4 team league got way out of hand. I got multiple strains and bruises from people blatantly fouling me and the ref (Dan) doesn’t give a card unless you start swearing at him. Their website also specifically states they will provide 3 refs and a ball which they have never done. I understand having a ref “shortage” but if you say you’re gonna have something that you don’t have then why do it in the first place. There’s plenty of other leagues in the Pittsburgh area. Overall, fun I guess until everybody starts fouling each other because the ref doesn’t control the games
