West Sacramento coach urges city to designate year-round soccer fields
Summary
A West Sacramento Soccer Club coach told the Parks and Recreation commission the club lacks a dedicated spring facility and asked the city to provide a year‑round field, citing 200 competitive players and upcoming demand.
Hosanna, a coach with the West Sacramento Soccer Club, told the West Sacramento Parks and Recreation Intergenerational Services Commission on June 3 that the club lacks a dedicated year‑round field and is having trouble finding priority space in the spring as the city relocates programs for Bridal Park reconstruction.
Hosanna said the club runs nearly year‑round: "We play 10 months out of year" and noted the competitive program had about 200 children this year. He thanked parks staff—singling out Brandon for field maintenance—and said coaches sometimes decline extra work to avoid staff burnout.
The coach identified Spring scheduling as the main problem: although the city recreation program is seasonal, soccer operates for most of the year and has no consistent priority space. Hosanna suggested Summerfield Park as one site that could meet some of the club's needs and said he plans to submit formal information requests to the city for participation and demand statistics.
No formal action or motion followed Hosanna's remarks during the meeting; his comments were taken during the presentations by the public (matters not on the agenda).
