Game Day Ready

The Game Day Ready initiative seeks to improve LCA Athletics’ structures, surfaces, and technologies. Through donor investments, we’ll center our work on significant improvements to a variety of spaces, among them Comstock Field, the fieldhouse, the Upper School gym, the Jay Allison Baseball Field, and the softball field. Over the past year, you’ve helped us raise more than $1.34M in support of the Game Day Ready initiative. Phase 1 of this multiphase initiative needs just an additional $375,000 to be completed.

Fieldhouse Renovation

CAMPUS IMPACT

“I’ve played football at Legacy for six years and have naturally spent a lot of time in and out of the fieldhouse.

The recent remodeling has blown me away. The changes to the locker room are incredible, we now have a meeting space, and everything feels much more open and organized. It means the world to me, especially that money was raised for the football team to receive such a gift. The entire team could never say enough thanks for this amazing space.”

—Kisor Walters ’23, Football Player

Comstock Field Turf Replacement

CAMPUS IMPACT

“Since the new turf has been installed, there’s been a spark throughout the football program. Everyone is excited and pumped to be playing on the new Comstock Field. It makes for a new beginning in the football program, and we’re all appreciative of the work done so we could play on it right now. The new turf isn’t as hot as what we had before, which means players don’t become dehydrated during practice, and it will keep us cooler and fresh every day for our games, too. The turf is also known to minimize injuries — which will be a changemaker during a long season.”

—Wes Norris ’24, Football Player

CAMPUS IMPACT

“Over the summer, new turf was installed on Comstock Field, for use by the football team and players of other sports. We practiced all over the place for a couple of weeks as we waited patiently for it. We didn’t know what it would look like; all we had was a vague description from our coach. The first day on the new turf was everything we’d hoped for. The color coordination and the eagle in the middle of the field really brought everything together. We started off the season with a bang: The stands were packed for the shutout win against HSAA. The turf is a huge blessing.”

—Jack Hanes ’23, Football Player

CAMPUS IMPACT

“When I found out we were getting new turf, I was extremely excited. I remember walking the turf for the first time with the seniors and

Coach Page and talking about our goals for soccer this year. So far, I’ve noticed a couple of things about the new turf that have been beneficial. First, it’s a lot cooler than the old one. Second, it doesn’t stick to our clothing and gear. Now we can fall on the turf and stand up without hundreds of pellets on our clothing. I look forward to enjoying the new turf with the future state champs!”

—Luke Hanes ’23, Soccer Player

CAMPUS IMPACT

“It’s been exciting to have a renovated locker room and the new turf on the football field.

We’re grateful for the generous donations that made these possible. We feel greatly appreciated, and we all feel extra motivation to perform well. The new turf has been amazing in reducing our injuries and turf burns.

We’ve begun new traditions, and the facility improvements have started to form our new identity.”

—Kaiden York ’23, Football Player

CAMPUS IMPACT

“There are many positive aspects of the new turf: for example, it’s safer than the old one, cooler to play on, and has a more appealing appearance.

It also demonstrates to current and prospective

LCA students and students from other schools that LCA is implementing the best technology to make its facilities outstanding. In fact, every time I walk on that turf, I’m proud to be an LCA student-athlete. Go Eagles!”

—Abby Gleason ’23, Soccer Player

Softball Pitching Machine

CAMPUS IMPACT

“When the pitching machine arrived, I was very excited. Before, we could practice hitting only off the coaches pitching to us, which didn’t compare to the pitching we were seeing in games. The new machine enables us to hit faster, more accurate pitches and get ourselves ready to face the best in the state. We were able to practice our timing and get acclimated to faster speeds, which ultimately helped us win the State championship.”

—Lynlee Kennedy ’25, Softball Player

Upper School Gym Video Scoreboards

CAMPUS IMPACT

“Videoboards bring a professional atmosphere to sports, and our studentathletes are even more proud to be part of a school with so much team spirit. It’s extremely important to provide opportunities for our students to experience environments that inspire them to achieve their goals, and videoboards add a sophisticated flavor to this process.”

—Luiz Lima, Volleyball Head Coach
