Riverdale High School in Rutherford County, Tennessee is launching a project to renovate their soccer field, which hasn't been upgraded in over 25 years. The school is seeking community support and sponsorships to fund improvements like a new black-coated chain link fence, netted backstops, and new evergreen trees. Head soccer coach Ali Arman believes the players deserve a better facility that reflects their pride and commitment to the sport.

Why it matters

The soccer field renovation project is about more than just upgrading the facilities - it's an opportunity for the community to invest in the experiences and memories of the school's soccer players. The improvements will also enhance safety, improve the field's appearance, and create a more welcoming environment.

The details

Riverdale High School's soccer field is in need of significant upgrades after over 25 years without any renovations. The school's plan includes installing a new black-coated chain link fence along the roadside, adding netted backstops behind each goal, and planting new evergreen trees at both ends of the field. The school is offering various sponsorship levels for community members to contribute to the project, ranging from a $100 base donation to a $5,000 platinum level that includes prominent recognition and a limit on the number of sponsors.
