Sportplex is needed

Wed., Feb. 17, 2016

In response to the proposal for a Spokane Regional Sportsplex: I think it is a great idea and I am here to encourage you to vote yes.

I play on a club volleyball team, and it is a huge pain to have to drive all the way out to the HUB twice a week for a two-hour practice. And I know many other people who also think it a pain. Having to leave my house at 4:30 p.m. for a 5:30 p.m. practice is unacceptable. And not to mention getting home at 8:30 p.m. stinks when you are a high school student who has homework every night.

With this new complex, it would help me and many other families with children who play sports. Vote yes for a Sportsplex.
