We've worked together to provide fields for games used by I <br /> players of the North Metropolitan area. The city maintains the field, while club volunteers line the fields and I <br /> pxovide and mai.ntain the goals and nets. <br /> Currentlp, CSC has 1600 playexs from Centerville and surrounding communities. This sutnmer, we ase I ' <br /> fielding 36 teams of children 9 years of age and older. Last year we scheduled 2 games Monday-Thursday I <br /> nights on both fields from Map — October for a total of 384 games! The planned improvements would also I <br /> provide the opportunity for our club to host a weekend tournament. In the past, out club has sponsored <br /> different events, but never hosted an event because we don't have a facility or enough fields. ' <br /> We also look forward to the potential improvement of irrigation on the field as we are concerned that during <br /> dry summers the playing surface becomes concrete-]ike and investments in the tur£ are lost. The other <br /> petition we get from neighboring teams is that one field is to�o narrow for reg�,ilation play. In order foz this <br /> field to be better`utilized, the burm on the end of the field, needs to be reduced in size. <br /> Centennial Soccer Club values Laurie LaMotte Park as a crirical developrriental resource for the young people <br /> of Centexville and surxoundi.ng communities of I.inno Lakes, Circle Pines and Centerville. <br /> Sincerelp, " <br /> � - .. � } � <br /> �;;� .� . <br /> Feter Dahl <br /> President, Centennial Soccer Club <br />
