Review-Sports Planet Ampang

Ampang Sports Planet was one of the pioneers that pushed futsal in Malaysia to a new level. Great facilities to hold futsal, badminton and takraw events. For futsal, it has 8 turf courts and 1 international size parquet court. Wow. A true 'international' experience.

For the international experience comes with a cost - around rm200 per hour if u play at night. The turf court cost around RM100. Both surface are well maintained. I had a company futsal tourney (previos blog posts) held here - and it was a succesfull event. Their staff where friendly and profesional in helping us organizing our futsal competetion events.

I'm currently using nike futsal shoes (with spike turf studs soles.). Works great on the turf surface, but damn slippery on parquet. Recommend to use futsal shoes with flat soles.

Good ventilation, tv's, lounge, food and beverages, are among other facilities make it a great place to futsal.

Setbacks? None of the negative type. This place is like the malaysia mecca of futsal that u actually have to book - sometimes - 2 weeks in advance to play. To get the ideal time (9pm - 12 pm) at the last minute is imposible. There are even those who book courts for the whole year for a particular day - say every satuday evenings. So plan ahead to play at this venue.

Parking facilities? never enuf in, during peak periods (week end evenings, public holidays).Come early to get a spot.

Their public Toilets? Maintained quite good with shower facilties. If KLCC's public toilet is your 10/10 benchmark - then theirs is rated around 7 to 8.

In short, as their motto goes, they provide the "ultimate" futsal experince.

Review - ISF - Indoor Sports Federation

A great all in one sports complex. You can play futsal, badminton, snooker, takraw, ping pong and netball.Smua ada.Naseb baik takde guli, congkak, monopoly etc. Point is, an all in one sports complex. Wish it had basketball!

Futsal/indoor soccer players wont have dehydration problems since ISF has a great offer, free 5 bottles(!!) of mineral water for every hour of play. Wow. Talk about saving your money. U can even cancel your usual mamak outings after playing futsal.huhuhu.

You can choose 2 surface to play on, the grass turf, or the smooth blue-coloured decoflex turf.The grass turf cost around rm100 per hour, while the latter cost around rm120 per hour. Both surfaces are in good maintaince.

Will you have parking problems? To date, personally..no problems. Although there arent that may parking spaces inside its compund, but u can park your car at the roadsides outside, as it is fairly safe to do so.It is not a main road so theres no congestion. But i always put the steering lock on. Better safe than sorry.

The downside to this venue is during rainy seasons. It seems there is a roof leakages to this venue(as to date)! Courts affected? The decoflex surface, and a few grass turf courts. Hope they patch their roofs soon. Not quite the 'indoor experience' imagined.

Despite this setback, ISF is known to have successfully organized great competitions, get-togethers and family events( not in the rainy season i assume..huhu).Still room for improvement.

Review - Subang Sports Planet.

Subang Sports PLanet-The Ultimate Indoor Soccer Experience...as their motto goes.Hard to deny.They provide great facilities, 11 indoor futsal Courts! Massive facility.Great condition which is maintained regurlarly. Who wants to play on a patchy, uneven,run down turf anyways?

They even provide foosball tables!!and to add to their franchise, a snooker facility is also available. Really pushing for the "inddor experience".

The downside to this Sports Planet FUTSAL facility is their parking. On peak hours, pray for a spot.a miracle might happen. Sometimes you have to park outside, though not far, *but quite risky-open to thefts or any accidents. Come early for a cozy convinient spot.

All n all, a great spot for futsal.RM100 peak hours.RM 70 on normal hours. Bring along friends, chip in together, and well worth your money spent.
