Since opening in 2024, the courts have served as a hub for youth programming, pickup games, skills development and community events, creating opportunities for residents to stay active and engaged. The anniversary celebration brought together families, athletes and community members for an evening of futsal activities, music, food and appearances by players from Real Salt Lake and Utah Royals FC.
“Two years ago, we joined together with our partners to invest in a space where young people could stay active, build confidence and connect through sport,” said Drew Yergensen, Utah Market President for KeyBank. “Today, we’re proud to celebrate the positive impact these courts have had on the community and the countless memories that have been created here.”
“These courts represent much more than a place to play,” said Kyle Schroeder, RSL Vice President of Community and Player Engagement. “They are a symbol of what’s possible when professional sports organizations, businesses and community partners work together to remove barriers and create opportunities for young people. We’re thrilled to celebrate the second anniversary of a project that continues to inspire participation and foster a love of the game.”
The courts were created through a partnership between KeyBank, Real Salt Lake, Utah Royals FC and RISE Athletics Foundation to increase access to recreation and strengthen community engagement in West Valley City. The partners remain committed to creating opportunities that help youth and families learn, play and thrive.
