Higher Expectations in Springfield

Tried reaching out a dozen times for a birthday party for my son through email, phone calls, and social media. Took 3-4 days to get two word responses. Social media messages would get read but never responded to. I understand if your busy or not interested in the party then please relay that. All in all communication was horrible and unprofessional.

I recently hosted my daughter's birthday party at Greater Expectations, and it was an absolutely phenomenal experience! The staff went above and beyond to make the day special, running fun and engaging games that kept all the kids entertained from start to finish. The facility was clean, spacious, and perfect for our needs. Every child left with a smile on their face, and my daughter had the best time ever! I can't recommend this place enough for anyone looking to host a memorable and stress-free event. Thank you, Greater Expectations , for making my daughter's birthday so special!

Really nice facility, staff is super friendly & give good positive feed back with the athletes ranging in ages from young kids through high school & adults. They have weight training programs , a bball shooting machine. We had a great experience with Higher Expectations 5 Stars

I met the owner Jordan 2 years ago , he opened a sports facility that fits all the kids needs with different sport trainings, conditioning & various activities. My daughter has been going here for basketball training since day one & her skills on the court improved alot, Jordan & staff are all wonderful and they take pride in helping others. I highly recommend this sports facility to anyone who is looking to get their child better. Also there is volleyball, football, lacrosse trainings.

Rented the HE gym for flag football practices over the winter; great experience and facility! Plenty of space for various trainings of any sport + weights. The HE team is easy to schedule/work with & definitely recommended for gym rentals.
