Players will learn basic soccer skills and will also participate in scrimmages each week. The overall goal is to teach youth soccer players fundamental skills including dribbling, passing and scoring. For more information, please contact Scott Dane at smdane@gmail.com or 517-614-5272.

Rendering and Layout

• The current building has been condemned by the health department and was not accessible during the boys season. As difficult as this sometimes was (and will be for the girls season this spring), the new building will be a great asset to the soccer community in the future.
  
  
• Included in our new building is a home lockerroom, a visitors lockerroom, new concession stand that faces the field and restrooms with exterior entrances.
  
  
• We are also very excited to include an Academic Center that will be available to our student athletes as they continue our rich tradition of academic success. Because our field is located off-site from the high school, we have a need to provide a safe off-site facility where students can maximize their time. Our Academic Center will provide an environment conducive to learning.
  
  Over the past three years, the Varsity soccer teams have enjoyed unprecedented success on and off the field. Since 2009, 20 boys players have been recognized with all league honors and the team has been named All-State Academic each year. Since 2010, 17 girls have been recognized with all league honors and the team has been named All-State Academic each year. The Grand Ledge School District’ Sinking Fund provided $115,000, which is approximately half the estimated cost of the structure. Though we are working closely with builders and contractors to keep costs low, we will still have a substantial cash need. As a special recognition of the Difference Makers, we will be laying a brick pathway.
  
  
• $1,000 or more donations will receive a 12"x12" brick in the pathway.
  
  
• $500 donations will receive a 4"x8" brick in the pathway.
  
  
• All other donors will be recognized on a plaque on the side of the building.
  
  
• Other sponsorship ideas/amounts are most certainly welcome!
  
  Boughton Field is used for much more than just high school soccer matches. Many of our youth teams use the field for home games and the practice field is used for Mini Comets -- our 5-8 year old soccer program. The Grand Ledge Soccer Club is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization giving you maximum tax benefits when you donate to the Boughton Field Capital Campaign. Please note that we are raising funds for the new building and other upgrades to the facility.
  
  If you would like to make a donation, please mail a check made payable to "Grand Ledge Soccer Club" and mail to PO Box 444, Grand Ledge, MI 48837. Please make sure you write Capital Campaign in the memo line. Please contact me with any questions regarding the building, or if you have resources that may be helpful to the project.
  
  Go Comets!
