Residents ask Cibolo City Council to preserve youth access to Multi Event Center fields
Summary
Three residents urged the Cibolo City Council to allow Relentless Soccer Club youth teams to continue training at the Cibolo Multi Event Center on Mondays and Wednesdays, citing accessibility for families and community benefits.
Three residents told the Cibolo City Council they want youth soccer teams to continue using the fields at the Cibolo Multi Event Center for Monday and Wednesday trainings.
Michelle Moore, speaking on behalf of families involved with the Relentless Soccer Club, asked the council to "let's use them for the kids," saying the fields "were built for a purpose" and are the most accessible venue for grandparents and parents with small children.
The request, made during the meeting's public-comment period, emphasized accessibility and family inclusion. "Accessibility is about inclusion," Moore said, describing how alternate facilities often require long walks from distant parking lots and present hardship for older relatives and parents with babies.
Ernestine Humphrey, who identified herself as a mother and UTSA alumna, described youth sports as formative. Humphrey said youth practices and games "are classrooms without walls," and added that sports gave structure and discipline to her son, who later served in the U.S. Army and now works as a human resources specialist.
Amanda Vonsa, representing the Relentless Manchester organization and speaking on behalf of her daughter and the club, said she could not attend in person because of other youth sports commitments but affirmed the group's support for continued field access.
Speakers asked the council to preserve existing Monday and Wednesday training windows at the Cibolo Multi Event Center and to consider the burden on families if teams are moved to less accessible sites. No council response, motion, or vote on the request was recorded in the provided transcript.
The comments framed the fields as more than athletic space: speakers said they foster community ties, offer supervised activity for youth, and make it easier for multiple generations to attend events. The public-comment record did not specify whether the council has a pending policy change, a lease or reservation conflict, or any planned reallocation of the fields.
