SportsPleX caters to both youth who play on select, year-round soccer teams, as well as youth and adults who want to play on a more recreational level.
For many, the recreational soccer teams offer a way to meet new people and a chance to play soccer. Lane said that youth and adults can sign up individually to play recreational soccer, and they will be placed on a team.
Lane said that about 65 percent of the soccer players at SportsPleX are youth while adults make up the other 35 percent.
