Groundbreaking News



The biggest thing that has happened to us recently is the Groundbreaking Ceremony for the Barney Family Sports Complex. It finally is starting to seem like the end is in sight. Jerry has been working with his dad to get the complex up for about a year now. After a lot of red tape and revisions of the plans, they finally got to the point where they could break ground and hopefully start building shortly. There was a great turnout of family, contractors, architects, city councilmen, etc. They showed off the plans, logos, t-shirts, and hats. Obviously, we can't wait for the doors to open. They hope to have it completed by spring of next year. Jerry has been working on all aspects of getting the complex up and running when the doors open. He has been training at the Arizona Sports Complex at 35th Ave. and Pinnacle Peak. (A long drive, but somebody's got to do it!) He has been learning different systems and preparing to implement those and others into this new sports complex. The website for the complex is http://www.thebfsc.com/. The complex will have 2 indoor soccer fields, with options to play roller hockey, volleyball, basketball, dodgeball, lacrosse, flag football, etc. They also plan to have a pro shop and weight room. Needless to say, we can't wait to open doors. It is taking longer than anticipated, but it will definitely be worth the wait.
