NANCY RANDALL ASSOCIATE PlANNER <br />ARDEN HILLS <br /> <br />.' <br /> <br />Dear MS. RANDALL. <br /> <br />I want you to know how important the construction of a fun sized SdCCer f ~Id is for <br />the soccer playing youth in Arden Hills. As an Arden Hills residem: and Dire<::or of <br />Git1s Traveling Teams for the Nom Suburban Soccer Association (NSSA) IIi.ve <br />foc;used en the developnent of youth $O<<eI' pJayers moving from the recreati; ml to <br />competitive level. It has been my observation that those c:ommunities that tui ~e <br />provided their youth with high level facilities have seen theii' young soo;er i llayers <br />reach a level of play that is very attnl(:tjve to our best players. It is not uncj Immon for <br />our promising young pleyers to ebe.ndoI. the NSSA as they reac:h their 1;eens f111" teams <br />OI,/tSide the eommu~ to gain ~ to these facilities and the benefits lISS<lC ated with <br />them. <br /> <br />" . <br />Bethel College is looking to construct a top noteh soccer field thai would b e available <br />to the NSSA. I think the planning commi$slon should endorse the plan. This dEi ielopment <br />will present an opportunity for the yCllrth of Arden Hills to el'!ioy the beneflt$ 'of high <br />level soccer right in their own community. According to the projections we've seen <br />from the Minnesota Amateur Sports Commission, withput such developments' our youth <br />will continue to see hlwer opportUnities to play organized soccer despite gro\ ~lng <br />derr&d. <br /> <br />I know that Ramsey County has put forth a program to match funds for 'SOCi:er field <br />development. Perhaps there is a way to access these funds for an Arden Hilhi . field. <br />NSSA's Field Development Director, Greg Cottle, has detans on this program. I'm sure <br />he'd be happy to talk to you about it. He can be reached at 651-486-2662. <br /> <br />PlBl\se look for a ~y to make this fie/d development happen. It. would be gi lad for the <br />continuing involvement of our youth in socc:er. <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Dave Resch <br />(651)636-7678 h , (651) 222-0351 w <br />
