The Butler Area School District has reached a mutually beneficial agreement with the Butler County Soccer Association.
According to Superintendent Dr. Brian White, many families of Junior High Boys and Girls players have expressed frustration with the quality of the athletic field in the city for soccer.
As a result, the Butler County Soccer Association has agreed to allow those programs to use Founders Field for all home soccer games during the upcoming fall season at no cost to the district.
In exchange, the district has agreed to provide the association the use of the Senior High School Turf Stadium field for two games in April 2021 at no cost to the association.
Both the district and association have also agreed to follow all guidelines and policies for COVID-19 and player safety with each releasing the other from liability in the event of injury.
