With the West Central Valley Recreational Soccer Program getting larger, they are starting the process to upgrade their facilities. 

Board President Brandi Coil says they currently have 224 kids signed to play soccer and have been looking to continue to grow that number while making sure they have a complex to complement that growth. Coil says they are working closely with the city of Stuart to purchase land right next to the current soccer complex in Stuart to add more parking. 

“Historically when we’ve had a lot of games going on,w e have some problems with parking because we have parents and grandparents and other individuals that want to come and see the game. And so we just don’t have enough parking in a facility for the growing soccer program. So the city is currently looking into whether they can purchase some additional land.”

Coil says that the Stuart City Council was receptive to the idea but the next step is to look at funding for the project. She says they are also looking at getting workable bathrooms, drinking fountains and lights for the parking lot along with removing the fence on the northside of the fields.
