We are fortunate to have been able to develop a 20-field soccer complex located on Ireland Grove Road about mile west of Towanda-Barnes Road. The 60-acre property is long-term leased from the Central Illinois Regional Airport Authority. The complex development process began in 1993. In its first three years of existence 5 of the 20 fields were utilized. The league is very proud that every year, improvements have been made to eventually reach full development. Each year the league has used available resources to pay off all debt, add parking, pave handicap parking areas, purchase new quality goals, construct a machine shed, add 76 trees, additional fencing, additional mower, utility vehicle and constant maintenance improvements. Currently, all 20 fields are used for play. The presence of the complex allows for high quality fields, customized sizes and multiple player families to play at one location.
