  we’ve owned this building since the 80s. raindrops left. And we started coming in here with my kids. I’ve got a daughter that plays volleyball. I’ve got three boys that play baseball. We were looking for space around town and couldn’t find what we wanted. As we started coming in here, people started asking me. They’re like, “Hey, can we get in there?” And so we’re like, “Oh, maybe there’s more to this than just, you know, what we need, but maybe it’s something the community needs.” We started slowly making progress and it took me about two years to plan it out and find the people that we wanted to build it and how we wanted to build it. This is a grocery store. It was built in the 80s. It was literally built and almost finished on the day I was born. And so it’s kind of gone through a lot of history over the years because we’re kind of multi-sports. We have a little bit of everything. We have our batting cages, so we do volleyball, but it’s used a lot for pickleball, especially in the winter. When school starts up, a lot of the community will come in in the mornings. When the kids are in school, the adults will come in and play in the mornings. We do a lot of pickleball and we have a yoga studio. We have our gym. We have our own personal trainer. So we have a little bit of everything going on. A lot of gyms are either just weights or just one thing. And we’ve tried to pull in a little bit of everything. It’s like, “Oh, my daughter’s playing volleyball at the same time my kid’s got a baseball practice. He can come and hit while she’s playing volleyball.” We did it for our kids. Our kids have the same love that a lot of kids in the community have, so it’s not something we’ve ever taken a paycheck from. Everything that we make here, we try to reinvest into the equipment. Right now we’re in the process of trying to turf about 45,000 square feet behind our building so we can expand into soccer, infielding baseball, flag football, wiffle ball. So that’s kind of what our next project that we’re investing in right now is, is trying to turf and open up some more, some more room for these kids to run around and play. Yeah, we’re, we’re in the middle of Farmington right behind Costa Vita and Nutra Mills. A lot of great companies that were right next to the bunker. Best way to find us, I guess, would be just to come walk in the door, come walk around, come check it out. We are on Instagram and Facebook. We post all of our upcoming leagues and stuff. We’ll be posted on there. A lot of our information of what we have coming up in different camps and clinics that we do. We do volleyball. We’ve had basketball. We brought in a pitcher from Florida before that played for the Yankees. We’ve had Alex Vecia from the Dodgers come in. We’ve had a lot of volleyball stuff from college players, and so we post all that on Facebook and Instagram to kind of let the community know that that’s coming up and they can, how they can be involved and, and get their kids signed up for it.
