The Southern Virginia University Knights are very excited to
announce the opening of the new athletic facility just east of
campus. Although the complex is not fully complete at this time,
the brand new Field Turf field is complete and after a couple weeks
that the field must settle and compact before play of any sport
begins.
The field will be one of three fields at the complex by the
completion date of August 7th. The lower two fields will be natural
grass fields. The turf field will be the practice sight for the
Men's and Women's Soccer teams, the Men's Lacrosse team, and the
Football team. The field will also accommodate all home games for
the Men's and Women's soccer and Men's lacrosse teams. We are all
very excited to see these fields be completed and eagerly await the
opening day for the fields.
The Men's Lacrosse team is eager as well, scheduling 2 round-robin
tournaments in the fall during the months of September and October
on the turf. The team has contacted and recieved very excited
responses from many teams. The times and dates for these two
Saturday events should be posted soon. We hope everyone will be
excited for the games and many will be in attendance as the team is
shaping up to be a very good and strong team this year.
We have many incoming freshman from across the United States, and
we will begin to have profiles posted so all can see the talent
coming in as Knights for the 09-10 season.
