PLANNER PERSPECTIVE
“Indiana Soccer just completed hosting the third in a series of four US Youth Soccer Midwest Regional events. When we arrived to set up and decorate the facility for the event, the park looked amazing. The grass field conditions at Grand Park are the best in the Midwest, maybe the whole country. The Grand Park grounds crew, headed by Ryan Fisher, did a fantastic job of keeping the fields in top condition during the event, too. They were on top of every little detail so Indiana Soccer could deliver the best possible Regional Championship event experience to the participants.
In addition to the fields and the facility, the Grand Park operations staff, headed by Sean Owens and Rachel Nelson, worked with Indiana Soccer and the Midwest Regional Committee to prepare and deliver an excellent event the participants will remember for a lifetime. The staff was always cheerful and never more than couple minutes away from attending to any request. This is a group of people you want “on your team” for every event!”
