On behalf of the Elk Grove Youth Soccer League and FC Elk Grove Leadership, we want to thank all of you for your amazing demonstration of support last night. Your presence truly made the difference in the outcome of the vote by the City Council to support moving forward with the multi-field soccer complex and professional stadium. The time that you took out of your evening to come to the council meeting with your children was such a wonderful display of "pride and passion" in our soccer community, and, more particularly, our soccer organization. The Mayor, Council Members, and City Manager asked that we extend to you their gratitude as well as their awe and amazement that we have such a strong bond in the League and FC Elk Grove. They have seen nothing like this.

It's an exciting time in Elk Grove. We will continue to keep you posted on the work of the Elk Grove city staff as they begin the journey to find land for the soccer complex. It will be EGYSL's priority to push the multi-field soccer complex so that our children will benefit in the near future. Thank you again.
