Saint Charles FC proudly announces a monumental two-phase project, ushering in a new era for the club with the addition of a leased facility at Mueller Park in the city of Saint Charles. This transformative initiative, consisting of six lighted fields, reaffirms the club’s commitment to player development, community engagement, and fostering a culture of excellence. The addition of the Mueller Park fields will be an extension to the training sites that Saint Charles FC already has in place for its players. 

Exclusive Access for Saint Charles FC
Under this groundbreaking development, Saint Charles FC secures exclusive access to fields 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 at Mueller Park during the weekdays (Monday – Friday) and selected weekends. This exclusive arrangement grants the club unparalleled flexibility and dedicated training spaces, a crucial enhancement for a club with over 40 teams, 500 players and USL men and women’s teams.

TruTurf Solutions to Oversee Field Development
Saint Charles Football Club has partnered with TruTurf Solutions, the renowned experts behind the impeccable fields at the SLYSA complex, to spearhead the field development at Mueller Park. With a proven track record of delivering world-class playing surfaces, TruTurf Solutions will bring their expertise to ensure that Mueller Park becomes a premier soccer training site for Saint Charles FC.

Phase One: Development of Fields 5 and 6
The inaugural phase of the project has already begun with a sharp focus on the development of Fields 5 and 6. With the expertise of TruTurf Solutions these fields will be primed and ready for use in the upcoming 2024 spring season. The inclusion of lights ensures that the fields will be available for training sessions and matches without any daylight restrictions.

Phase Two: Development of Fields 7, 8, 9, 10
Building on the success of Phase One, the second phase will concentrate on the comprehensive development of Fields 7, 8, 9, and 10.

“The addition of the Mueller Park fields represents a huge step forward for Saint Charles FC” said Sean McGuigan-Hart Boys Director of Saint Charles FC.” At a time where field space is becoming extremely competitive we believe we have positioned ourselves strongly with the addition of these six lighted fields. However, our commitment goes beyond just having access to the fields, as we now plan on significantly improving the fields to ensure they are of a high playing standard” 

Impact on Training Space, Programming, and Community Accessibility
The addition of these lighted fields signifies a substantial increase in training space for Saint Charles FC teams, enabling the club to enhance its programming and cater to the needs of its diverse player base. Furthermore, the expanded facilities will play a pivotal role in making Saint Charles FC more accessible to larger parts of the community. Saint Charles FC extends its appreciation to the city of Saint Charles and TruTurf Solutions for their invaluable support in bringing this ambitious project to fruition.

Hosted Events, USL and Elite Academy League
The strategic addition of Mueller Park will further enhance the club’s capacity to host a myriad of events, ranging from a local tournament, to high-profile competitions. The facility’s potential to be a host site for Elite Academy League games and accommodating USL programming means the positive impact extends beyond the club itself, as hosting events will also bring business to the local community, showcasing the club’s commitment to community engagement.
