Hardwood Palace

My daughter has been coming here for the last few years to play in indoor futsal soccer leagues… this place is in my opinion is really laid out nice and we have really enjoyed playing here. All of the staff members and referees have always been super friendly and nice. One other thing that is a nice added bonus especially if you are going to be here for awhile playing a tournament etc… they have a nice snack bar with pretty decent choices. This isn’t a 5 star restaurant, but for snacks, pretzels a slice of pizza and some chicken fingers this is a nice option.

The referees are not very good. The place is nice and air conditioned, though. I have a nice time watch on the games, but there are so many courts! It’s real confusing unless you know the court number.

Love when we have our basketball tournaments here… excellent venue. Concession stands, and basketball courts galore. I love the recent additions added since last year. My only complaint would be they need to manage the cleanliness of their restrooms more frequently. There was feces on a baby changing table in the mens room which is never acceptable!

UNSAFE! With SO many people that pay entries every weekend, and SO many athletes that participate, i learned today that Hardwood Palace does NOT pay to have EMS available. WTH? My daughter who plays high school, hit her head on the court after a hard fall shortly after another teammate was hit on the head. She laid on the court for nearly 5 minutes as i asked others to get help. They came back to say that there was no EMS at the tournament in either building! I took her to the ER and it turned out that she did in fact suffer a concussion. This is absolutely unacceptable. This business is very lucrative, charging $ 5 & $ 10 per spectator every weekend. Their website touts 750 tournaments per year, yet they’re to cheap to provide EMS for the athletes that put food on their tables. Shame on you Hardwood Palace. Shame on you. Parents, beware and be prepared if your son or daughter suffers an injury that should be attended to immediately.

Excellent for futsal, crazy chaotic for basketball.
If you are disabled, forget about it. There is no seating for you. When its crowded, and for every basketball night it is: there is no seating. They have an upstairs balcony which has seating prominently featured but they do not allow you to sit there «for insurance reasons»
The facility is nice and clean. There is a friendly old man selling food and beverage, and a surly tall guy (not) greeting you on the way in.
For futsal this is a fantastic place to play.
For basketball, I would avoid it at all costs if you are disabled or a family of more than one kid because you will not be able to find a seat. Don’t dare sit in the upstairs area or you can expect a hostile manager.
If you have kids that are not on a court playing do yourself a favor, do not bring them. This is not the place for them.

If you like basketball (we do) and you have a son who plays basketball (we do) and you take them to a lot of tournaments (we do) then you will love Hardwood Palace.
We moved from the east coast where basketball is king and our son played in a lot of places but none of them had all that Hardwood offers. Courts are nice, well lit with padded bleachers and plenty of seating to watch the games. There are 8 courts in Hardwood and I believe another 6 across the street at Courtside and they are packed every Saturday and Sunday.
The competition comes from all over the west and is top-​notch. The refs at times can make some pretty stupid calls but that happens anywhere.
The restrooms are always clean and the snack bar is well stocked. One of things I really appreciate about the snack bar is that they serve protein shakes, which is great when your kid has back to back games.
Located easily off the interstate with a ton of restaurants, hotels and shopping nearby… great place to watch basketball.

Only been here for wrestling tourneys but geared to indoor basketball. 2^nd level for viewing and seating appears to be limited.
The snack bar has typical food and drink with small areas to sit and watch.
Bathrooms are always in need of cleaning and restocking due to the number of attendants.

Great place for the kids to play quality competition in the Roseville/​SAC area. We are from the east and this is one of the best facilities we have seen for weekend tournaments (the only nicer one I have ever been to was in Lexington, KY).
The seats are padded, which I appreciate when you are there for an 8 hour day and they have a full-​service snack bar that serves protein shakes (something else I appreciate.
Yes the bathrooms sometimes run out of paper-​towels but when you have hundreds of people it happens, and they do restock often as I see them doing it. I have never found the bathrooms to be filthy as a matter of fact they are always very clean.
The only thing I feel sometimes that could be different is the admission price is a tad steep 10.00 and if you play a 2 day tourney you have to pay again the next day. I feel like a 7 – 8 dollar fee would be more fair, but hey it is a nice place for our son to play and get experience.
All in all, we enjoy every time we visit the palace!

Hardwood palace is a 70,000 square foot warehouse style building, conveniently located near hwy 65, between Rocklin and Roseville. It has 8 basketball courts and a full service café. Hundreds of basketball activities, such as tournaments and camps are held here. Former Sacramento Kings NBA basketball player, Harold Presley, runs the café for his TLK foundation. He is always friendly and great with the kids. This is a fun atmosphere, if you like to be around a lot of people. It is also available to rent for office parties!

My daughter won a scholarship to participate in the Jason Thompson basketball camp here. I am pleasantly surprised by this program. The couches are all great! JT and JD (the program director) are very generous and attentive. My daughter is learning some great skills while having fun. We will definitely consider enrolling her in this camp next year :)

It’s a really great place for kids to experience the different levels of basketball. There are a lot of talents teams that come out here to play. The only downfall is since there really isn’t anything within walking distance, if you do not plan on tailgating between games, set aside some $$$ as it can get pricey inside for food and drinks. There’s also a $ 10 entrance fee for adults and $ 5 for kids over 5. Overall, I wish this place was around when I was a kid.

Total rip off what they charge for admission for youth basketball. Facilities are run down, bathrooms are dirty, and the courts are so crammed. The refs are sub par except for a few. The snack bar is overpriced with nothing but junk food.

8.5 hrs into the day, still only one match, some of the refs have gone home, and half the mats have been dead for 30 min but they insist on running another round of wrestling.
Don’t know how to run software? Don’t try to run a tournament, especially one of this size, or even a small novice one.
The above was about the a wrestling tournament and the incompetent tournament directors.
The kids slipping in pools of piss in the bathroom (and then tracking that back onto the mats) is on the building owner/​management.

Great summer Basketball Camp for kids.

Nice venue for watching AAU/​Youth basketball games. They have a snack bar with food and relatively clean bathrooms. Plus there is a «picnic area» where you can sit, watch mini TVs and eat. Can get very crowded and seating is sparce. On a side note– Hardwood– can you get rid of that disgusting popcorn vendor which sells all flavors of popcorn all day??? When athletes are performing the last thing they want to smell is day old garlic infused popcorn. Almost made my teen and me hurl. Thank you!

Now I’m not an expert on Basketball facilities but since my son has started playing I have to say I do like this place. We did have a little trouble parking but my Mazda was able to take a spot squeezed between two large cars that were parked close to their lines. I’m not sure anyone else could have gotten into this spot.
Once we walked inside, I wasn’t thrilled to be charged 15.00 to see the game. I figure they are making money off of the tournament and the rental of the space. The least they could do is charge no more than 5.00. Some of the families brought older siblings so they spent 45.00 to see the game.
The facility was nice with padded bleacher seats. The bathroom was clean enough, but was out of seat covers.
I did not venture upstairs. The lines were short for drinks which was nice cause I was able to run over, grab a drink and get back to the game without missing a beat.
The game play was interrupted when the players heard a buzzer at the next court and thought it was for them. There were a couple times when it seemed that the sounds from the other courts caused momentary confusion with our players.
Generally, I enjoyed the facility and the air was much cooler inside than it was outside. As time passed it seemed to warm up inside but when I walked outside, it was definitely warmer outside.

The facility is nice, great courts and plenty of seating. Parking can be challenging but there is not much they can do about that given the layout of the business park.
The two star rating is for the price gouging that occurs for the weekend tournaments. They charge $ 10 on Saturday’s (rumor has it this will increase to $ 15) for every person over 15 years old and $ 5 for everyone else.
To add insult to injury, the person who runs the tournaments parks his high-​end S-​series Mercedes right in front of the entrance to you can see what you entry fee is paying for. I know it is his car because the personalized plate is (xtreme) and the tournaments are called xtreme hoops.
The only people who come watch these tournaments are the parents/​family of the players. For my wife and me, we end up spending $ 30 in entry fees to see 3 games over a weekend. This increases when Grandparents show up.
What does the price gouging get you??? Once you get in you are able to use the always filthy bathrooms that never seem to have paper towels/​soap/​TP or any sort of cleaning schedule.
Also, they advertise it is a 70,000 air condition facility. However, they only have evaporative coolers which they rarely turn on except on the hottest days. In the summer it is very uncomfortable. When they do turn on the evaporative (not a/​c) coolers it just gets hot and humid which is worse than just hot.
If you don’t have air conditioning, don’t advertise that you do.
In regards to tournaments, don’t expect to have a fair fight. It is no secret to all the club teams in the area that Xtreme Hoops (Hardwoods Tournament Company) does not check the ages of the players. Every tournament has older teams playing down an age just to get the victory medal. The last tournament we went to my son’s 8-​grade team played a team full of freshmen and sophomores. I know this because we know a couple of kids on the other team and they told me they all go to high school together.
Hardwood/​Xtreme Hoops should take all the money they are gouging parents to pay and do the following: hire someone to clean the facility during the day, take a second to check ages of players to increase the integrity of the tournaments, and turn on the swamp coolers once in a while.

We scheduled our son’s 8^th birthday party here and it was awesome. Harold Presley ran drills with the kids that were hilarious, the pizza was great, and the cake was delicious. This place is amazing!

Hardwood has some of the best wood Basketball court traction I’ve ever seen! This place is huge at 70K feet, volleyball, futsal (indoor soccer), a ropes course and eight basketball courts, with a sky view terrace, it’s a great place to have a tournament. The Café is overpriced and the quality is not great, the Jamba Juice upstairs is a joke, prepackaged, 2 flavors not tasty, overpriced-​be forewarned. BUT, the facility, bathrooms, seating and padded bleachers are first class!
