Please consider signing our petition. The world’s most popular sport is getting ignored in Aiken. In fact, the Aiken Soccer Cup is the second largest revenue generator the City of Aiken has behind the Master’s. The City of Aiken Parks, Recreation, and Tourism Department has nothing to do with the Aiken Soccer Cup. The polo community allows an Augusta soccer club to access their fields.Why does the city ignore soccer? My understanding is the City of Aiken uses the soccer revenue to fund baseball and softball. If this is not true, then where is the evidence of any investment into soccer in Aiken? We have no true soccer fields or fields with lights. How many baseball fields do we have? Can you imagine baseball fields in Aiken with no lights? I invite you to come see a city soccer game. They are being played right now every Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday at Citizen’s Park. Please look at the poor field conditions. Look at the large number of families involved in youth soccer. This is a disservice to the children of Aiken. Sign our petition today. Let the city of Aiken know how many of our youth love soccer and want new soccer fields with lights.

I have been reading through the stories you are leaving in the comments and it is clear that so many families in Aiken feel the same frustration about our field conditions. I am just one person who noticed a problem but this has grown into something much larger than I ever imagined because of your passion for our kids.

I have two cousins that live in Aiken and are amazing young soccer heroes! These girls along with all the other boys and girls that are dedicated to this sport derserve to have their city represent them as much as they represent their city.
It's actually pretty ridiculous that we need to sign a petition to receive attention. All comparably sized communities have designated soccer facilities. With plenty of flat land perfectly suited for soccer fields, it should be a relatively easy task. Considering the significant revenue generated from the sport, put some of the money back where it belongs.
We are past due for nice soccer fields for our programs here in Aiken. So disappointed that it keeps getting ignored! It would be nice to drive my son 5 minutes to play instead of to Lexington to play!
Would be great to have some fields in Aiken. Supposedly the new park on the northside was going to have soccer fields and it looks like that got Nuked. Sad Sad
We need a proper soccer complex in Aiken to draw players whose families would in turn spend money in Aiken.
My grandson Easton Brooks is amazing!! I love u baby!
My younger soccer played, it's a great sport

I do pay $100 every soccer season and my kids generally play in empty grass. It would be nice to have a soccer area, with real seating and lights like the 13 odd baseball fields.
