We have purchased the land next to the Clark/Lincoln Soccer Fields through a loan from FVSB.
We are planning to start smaller to get youth and adult indoor athletic programming started. It will include 4 dedicated pickleball courts, 2 tennis courts with pickleball lines, and a roll-out turf field, possibly a batting cage and golf simulator. It is the goal to have fob access afterhours to help increase use with minimal staff for the start-up. Here is what we are doing to get this initiative started
· We had a Cooking Class fundraiser in February 2025
· We are reaching out to local businesses to each give a little to help get this project started
· We are applying for grants to help get the facility built, Walmart Spark Goods has given us a grant of $2000. We are also looking for a company to make a large donation to pay for the majority of this initiative.
· We have started a Youth Pickleball League to show how we can get our youth engaged and how it will be even better when we can have this programming year-round. This was sponsored by GSH
· We are planning to have a Youth Tennis and Youth Pickleball league in the Spring for similar programming. Sponsors to be determined
· Holding a Cash Raffle fundraiser to also help with funds, drawing October 1, 2025
