The bid opening for the Football/Soccer Field and Track project was held on February 10, 2022. The company that won the bid was AstroTurf Corporation, based here in Lexington, NC.
Our program is built on a belief that youth sports are about more than just skills and scores.
The funds to pay for this project were obtained from:
● The Davidson County Board of County Commissioners
● LCS Board of Education General Fund Balance
● State issued lottery funds
The success of the new Football/Soccer Field and Track project would support the following:
● Building a healthy community by providing a fun and safe environment for families to come together and fellowship. This project was designed to strengthen family dynamics and enhance their experience in spending quality time together locally.
● Providing extracurricular options to get students more involved. Two factors that come into play when people are researching youth crime are boredom and a lack of supervision. A blooming athletics program and facility gives students a place to belong and helps reduce antisocial behavior.
● Providing high quality fields that can generate future revenue for LCS and the city of Lexington through:
○ AAU Tournaments
○ Conference and State Matches
○ Facility Rentals
Stay tuned for updates pertaining to the Football/Soccer Field and Track renovations project as well as the upcoming Athletics Complex Fundraising efforts!
