Building Project

WE HAVE EXPANDED!

The Risings Stars Soccer Club and Sports Center hosted the ceremonial ribbon cutting January 9th to introduce our new addition.  This addition includes a third indoor field (used for soccer, field hockey, lacrosse, baseball, volleyball, etc.), a run/walk track, and batting cages.  None of this would be possible without the support of the kids and parents, our community, the USDA for Rural Development, GPO Federal Credit Union, and Celia Construction.  Our goal is to provide a sports center worthy of being noted as one of the best in state.  The exuberance of our youth makes us want to ensure that the love of the game carries forward in their lives as they continue taking pride in calling the Mohawk Valley home.  We the Rising Stars would like to thank USDA State Director for Rural Development Pat Brennan, John Prumo & Gary Robeck of GPO, County Executive Tony Picente, former Senator Ray Meier and our community for their continued confidence and support in the betterment of our children.

It seems like forever but the project is complete...for now anyway. Thanks to never-say-die group of people from the Rising Stars Board, GPO Credit Federal Union and Visions Federal Credit Union the wait is finally over. We would not have made it without the support of The Community Foundation of Oneida & Herkimer County, Utica National Group Foundation, Mr. Gene Romano, Mr. John Romano and The Fountainhead Group, Mr. Tim Reed and ECR International, Eversan Scoreboards, Celia Construction, the Town of Westmoreland, some very generous individuals and of course our membership.  Stop back often to view the progress or check it out in person just south of the village of Westmoreland on State Route 233.

 

 
When you get thirsty and hungry our snack bar has lots to offer. Take a break in the lobby  
 
  Hard at practice ...and more  
In the beginning...On a snowy November Sunday afternoon the project officially kicks off. Community leaders, GPO Federal Credit Union representatives and supporters share a few words with the group.
The original plan was for a 2005 ground breaking...good things are worth waiting for.

The building project has been progressing nicely. At this point we anticipate breaking ground in 2005. None of this would have been possible without the great community support we continue to receive.

 

The center piece of the project is our 45,000 square foot indoor sport and community events center. The facility can be used for indoor sports leagues and training such as soccer, lacrosse, arena football and baseball.  In addition the dasher boards surrounding the fields can be removed leaving a wide open space for trade shows, exhibitions or practically anything you can imagine. Outside we will be developing two multi-purpose athletic fields and a 3.5 mile nature & fitness trail connecting with the Westmoreland Town Park which has several athletic fields and a picnic area. The complex is in an easily accessible location just 1/2 mile south of NYS Thruway exit 32 in Westmoreland NY.  We are just minutes from Utica, Rome and Oneida.
