| WINTER TRAINING INSIDE PADDOCK GOLF DOME - Kenton Soccer is committed to player development and has secured quality indoor training space for all Travel Teams, right in our own backyard, during the winter months of November thru April. Thanks to the Town of Tonawanda Youth Parks & Recreation Dept for allowing us to use this expansive space. The ceiling of the dome is very high, the field is "grass turf" and is lined/configured with two small U-10 fields and one large field, depending on our needs. This quality training space is in addition to the school gyms we currently use. |
