Chamblee Parks recommends renewed facilities agreement with Albion Soccer for Dresden Park youth programs
Summary
Parks & Recreation staff recommended a new facilities‑use agreement with Albion Soccer Club to continue youth soccer programming at Dresden Park, including registration, scholarships and seasonal evaluations; staff reported satisfaction with Albion’s prior performance (2021–2025 contract period).
Parks and Recreation staff presented a proposed facilities use agreement to extend the city’s relationship with Albion Soccer Club for youth soccer programming at Dresden Park. Kevin Farrow told the council that Albion has managed programs and registration successfully under the prior four‑year agreement that ended June 30, 2025, and that the new agreement would continue programming across rec, academy and select levels for ages roughly 3–17 with scholarship availability.
Council asked questions to confirm the club prioritizes local participants and that no child would be turned away for inability to pay; Farrow said local kids are Albion’s priority and that the club provides scholarships and seasonal evaluations to ensure program goals. The council expressed broad support for continuing the partnership and had no substantive objections on the item presented.
