Removal of long-jump pit and ball diamond. If all goes well, this will be the finest, most soccer friendly field in town, and available for community use in 2000. Due to the large and increasing demand for youth soccer opportunity there is a critical need for playing surfaces. The field at Christ the King was not used in 1997 by WMSA because of its poor condition. In 1998 because of league expansion WMSA had no choice but to bring the field back into its schedule, even though the surface was worse than the preceding year.
Soccer fields attract large numbers of people.
For WMSA activities, besides the more than 1100 youth there are also parents, siblings, grandparents, team sponsors and others who enjoy coming to the games. Probably 3-5000 Yukoners attend at least one WMSA match annualy. Besides WMSA there are four other organized soccer groups in town. The Yukon Soccer Association uses fields for several of its programs. There are around 135 youth involved in the Developmental Teams programs.
