Old Hoop Magic- Closed again?
Posted by: Hoops Player ()
Date: April 06, 2012 09:36PM

A buddy told me he went to Northern Virginia Sportsplex last night (the old Hoop Magic). There were signs on the door saying "closed until further notice". Anybody know the story this time? The place never had very many people there when I went. I was hoping they could stay in business.

Nobody care's about the niggers and funding them playing hoops so they don't rob the working class people. .

unless it's a Chinese funded project.

They said it was for security problems. What kind of security problems? They've gone up in price to $10. Why would you pay $10 to get in there when for less you can go down the street and get more for your money? My guess is they will be on their way out soon.

What is the other option down the street? I was there a couple of times each week. Never saw a security problem. Just never saw that many people.

That old woman at the front desk was the most unfriendly person I've ever seen. She is not someone who should be dealing with the public. Has anyone ever seen her smile?

There is that new Churchie sportsplex "N-Life" or whatever that is where the old Anheuser Busch place was on Lee Rd by Target & the FCPD training academy.

That's about as down the street as Buffalo Wing University in Ffx City to Fair Oaks Mall.

Wasn't one of the biggest problems hoop magic had that it wasn't close to anyone anyway. You can go to any county facility have a bball court and a ton of other things for $6 a person or $15 for a family of 4. If you are going to go down to HM the least they could do is have someone courteous behind the desk. And don't forget the 2 upscale communities that are close both have indoor bball courts that the residents pay for in their does.

It isn't only for basketball, and not only for individuals. Leagues rent time there, and they also do indoor volleyball and soccer. I rarely see individuals there, usually either team sports or what looks like a group of guys from the same office.

I never had a problem eliciting a smile from the lady at the desk. Try smiling yourself, sometimes it comes back to you. Yeah she isn't all-sunshine all the time but that's hardly a reason to not go there.

It is 2.1 miles away and still in Chantilly. Its pretty close considering Hoop Magic's remote location.

If I am paying to get in there I expect the person at the front desk to appreciate the fact that I came all the way down Route 50 to use their facility. Yes people will go out of their way to a different establishment if they are treated better. The front desk is a company's first impression. Right now theirs sucks!

My bball league was supposed to have games there starting last week. Our league is delayed because the owner of NVSP told the league administrator they are shutting down.

While he was not a great business man, Curtis is a good human being and meant well. He had a great idea but those he put in charge the last couple fo years (not his sons, but Marlow, and the other leaches who ran it into the ground) did him zero favors, IMO.

There were many who wanted him to succeed. But he let his relationships with the public get in the way. His wife (Pat) did not. However, she was many times deemed as rude and unapproachable when dealing with the public such as a player or paying parent, or coach, losing their wrist band thus asking to pay again; someone having gum, etc. Her being less aggressive towards the public would have gone a long way in people wanting to return.

Hopefully someone will "try" something like HMSA again. Doing it the right way, I bet it could make a little money.

Then again, I am not rich so what the hell do I know.

Seems its closed once again. Money has been paid for a court, players showed up, doors were locked, lights were out. You would think the friendly front desk woman could have at least called the customers who paid for a court and let them know they would not be open. This is not the way to do business. No wonder they are having problems. Coach was told they had to close because of 'violations'. Whatever that means.

We've had it with Northern Virginia Sportsplex. Not worth the aggravation.

I guess they are too modern an outfit for some customers, their Twitter feed announced the closure.

from yesterday pm:

@NOVASportsplex
It is with great disappointment, that we must announce that The Plex has permanently closed. We want to thank everyone for their support.


I'm kidding of course, if you paid money you are indeed entitled to a communication that the place is closed, not to mention info on how to get your money back that is easier than a credit transaction dispute. They can't assume all customers are following them on Twitter. Their Facebook page doesn't mention it, and their web site does not mention it aside from the automatic repost of their Twitter feed at the very bottom of the page.

Tell your coach to confirm... if the owner of a place tweets that their place is closed for good, that kinda tells me you aren't practicing at Hoop Magic this week, at least not inside.

Dudes, no reason to lie. The Old Hoop Magic is open. Practice was held for my son's team Wednesday and Thursday evening. Lots of basketball going on but more volleyball (girls). Adult basketball leagues were pretty active. I have no idea who is running it but it is OPEN!

I called out there Thursday and was told it is open and under new management. The guy was busy and said he would call me back, he didn't. Uh oH, same old, same old. I want to take my kids back there but need to confirm that Marlowe and Steve Fails are not involved. If they are, not going back. If they are gone I will give it another try.

Why do some of you want to mess with us by telling us it's open again? Place is locked up and already looks abandoned. The grass and weeds are already tall. It really stinks the place closed down again only nine months after the last time.

You can't run a business with hours like that. Open it up for a practice close it for a tournament? Teams pay $400 a weekend to play. What do you get $50 for a practice. They will be closed soon too.

The "NZone" is a nicer facility and accommodates to more sports. If you want a place to have a big basketball tourney, then Hoop Magic is a good place just because it has tons of courts. They could redo the entire facility and appeal to more people/teams I think. Both the NZone and Hoop Magic are in the middle of nowhere... that's the major problem with them both.
