The Rutland Select Board made a motion to award the Glenwood Field space to Rutland Youth Soccer at the Select Board Meeting on Monday, July 15. The motion was seconded, voted on and unanimously approved by the Select Board.
The hard work now begins. The next step is to work with the town to draw up and sign a lease agreement. RYS will also be starting the process of developing field layout and engineering designs. If anyone wants to be part of this historic opportunity to provide new fields to the children and families of Rutland, email us.
During the fall 2018 season, there were:
- Nearly 400 children register for our U6 and older programs
- 56 home games scheduled in Rutland at the U10, U12, U14 and High School Levels
- 83 three- and four-year old’s registered for U6 Pre-K
- 53 Kindergartners registered for U6 Kindergarten
- 74 children registered for U8 (1st/2nd grade)
- 64 children registered for U10 (3rd/4th grade)
- 54 children registered for U12 (5th/6th grade)
- 26 children registered for U14 (7th/8th grade)
- 37 children registered for High School level
With the award of the lease, RYS will provide management and maintenance of the field space. In addition to improving the quality of the soccer programs offered to the residents of Rutland, this improvement will add value to the school property including additional parking spaces. Both the town and RYS benefit by creating a central point of operation for soccer around Glenwood Elementary School and the Glenwood Community Center.
