We greatly appreciate the feedback received from many of our patrons regarding the newly proposed entry fee.  While most, if not all, other indoor facilities charge an entry fee, we will be putting ours on hold.  This will allow us time to consider the suggestions many of you have shared.  We are currently looking at the proposed rate, one-time seasonal fees and more.  We will be putting together an in depth look at the processes and infrastructure needed to do it properly.  Everything is on the table, and I have saved all email communications regarding an entry fee to consider all suggestions.  As we consider how to best implement a process and communicate to the soccer community, we will still need to look at the overall expenditures we face when operating a 40-year-old building.  In 10 or more years down the road, we will need to start looking at turf replacement again and need to plan for it.  We will be sure to communicate any fees or charges well in advance in the future.  Our goal is always to provide the best soccer experience possible for all of our youth and adult players.

As always, thank you for your participation and feedback.

Sincerely,

John Markey

Executive Director
