In case you didn't get our email update Sunday evening.
Dear River City Athletics Families,
We're excited to share several updates on the club's progress:
Winter Training Facility Secured
We've secured our winter training facility at the Mahaney Dome at the University of Maine. This ensures our players have a strong indoor training environment throughout the winter months.
Quirk Sportsplex Progress
The Board continues to meet regularly with First National Bank regarding financing progress on the Quirk Sportsplex project. In addition, Board members are holding weekly progress meetings with our general contractor, Haley Ward Architects, the dome manufacturer, and relevant subcontractors to keep the project moving forward.
Permitting with the Town of Hampden
We are actively working through the permitting process with the Town of Hampden and will keep everyone informed as this progresses.
Spring Evaluations — Save the Date
Spring Evaluations will be held Sunday November 8th. These will be competitive tryouts so all players interested in playing on a River City team you are required to attend. There is a $15 fee for the tryout, we will have a registration link coming out soon.
Spring Play Update
We are still working through where each of our teams will play in 2027, we do have a meeting on the calendar for this week with the New England Club Soccer League after months of trying to set up a conversation in a variety of ways. This will be our first conversation with the league administration. We also have a framework in place for a tournament only schedule that would begin in March. The board is weighing all options equally to determine which will be the best for our athletes, families and our soccer community.
Thank you for your continued support of River City Athletics. We'll keep you updated as these projects move forward.
Best,
River City Athletics Board of Directors
