Western Indiana Community Foundation Funds Soccer Facility Improvements

Western Indiana Community Foundation—which includes Covington, Southeast Fountain, Attica, and Vermilion Co. community foundations—combined to award the Covington Youth Soccer League (CYSL) with $46,793.66 to update the soccer facilities in Covington City Park. These upgrades will take place over the next three years and will include improvements to the soccer fields, restrooms, and concession stand. 

The first upgrades that will take place will be replacing scoreboards, installing a new chain link fence between fields, purchasing two iPads with stands that will be used for concession stand transactions and in-person sign-ups, and building a new concession stand/storage building. The Covington Youth Soccer League has served Fountain and Vermillion County communities for over 35 years and is continuing to grow. The season runs from August to October of each year, with games played every Saturday. 

“It is a privilege to work with such a great group of volunteers that truly care about the youth involved in their program," Dale White, Western Indiana Community Foundation CEO, said. "These improvements will provide a safe and exciting environment for our kids to develop their soccer and social skills for years to come.”
