ABOUT THE SPORTS COMPLEX
Our goal with the construction of a new sports complex will be to provide area youth and adults with additional sports opportunities that are not currently available in Columbus. By providing these new opportunities, while also working with other facilities in Columbus to expand their own existing programs, we can encourage a more active and healthy lifestyle for our community. Regardless of which sport or sports you participate in, we all have the same goal to best represent our community on the playing field. By working together with area youth club and travel programs, schools, and other sports facilities, we can better prepare Columbus athletes for such a challenge. Having the proper type and style of facility is an important part of achieving that goal.
The new sports complex will also have additional amenities and attractions to serve our community and bring visitors to Columbus, which will benefit other area businesses and our community as a whole. These additional activities also make our facility unique when compared to other area indoor sports facilities. This concept sets Columbus apart, helping recruit teams and visitors to Columbus instead of being just another sports facility similar to those found in other neighboring communities. These additional amenities and attractions also give Columbus an edge over other communities for tournaments and events that will not be held at our new sports complex.
In addition to the construction of this new sports facility, we will also be establishing a charitable fund to help local athletes, organizations, and facilities with sports registration fees and equipment costs. With the support of all users of our new facility we can cover the operational costs of this new facility while also maintaining this sports scholarship fund to assist with costs associated with participating in sports throughout the entire community, including activities held at other facilities in Columbus.

Below is a current list of expected features for the new sports complex. As a multi-purpose facility, this list is by no means a complete or final list of capabilities. Rather, this list includes those activities which we will host on a regular basis.
