Herriman, UT (my home town) will definitely be on the map in a major way very soon! Salt Lake Community College is building a large campus in Herriman and now, REAL Soccer Salt Lake has announced that they will also be building the biggest, state-of-the-art, energy-efficient Soccer Training Facility in Herriman. City council member, Nicole Martin, accurately shared, "It is rare yet incredible that a successful entity such as RSL shares our city's vision for creating a family-friendly, world-class destination, and now we become essentially a 'soccer-topia' to hone athletic and academi skills for decades to come."
Additionally, a new 90-acre STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) Charter School will be attached to the soccer complex develped by Utah State University. With multiple soccer fields inside and outside, some turf and some grass, this facility will the largest of it's kind in the United States. A non-profit called "RSL Youth Academy Foundation" plans on creating "regional training centers" throughout Utah, scheduled to open in North Logan, Odgen and West Valley City, to be followed by facilities opening in Orem and St. George down the road.
