Delight in Delhi Township: A New Era for Girls’ Sports

The buzz is palpable in Delhi Township as construction kicks off for Greater Cincinnati’s FIRST all-girls sports complex, marking a major milestone for female athletics in the area. With an impressive investment of $16 million, Seton High School is all set to build a facility that promises to be a game-changer for local student-athletes.

Sprawling Grounds with Plenty of Potential

The new sports complex will sprawl over 11 acres of lush land, bordered by Delhi Pike, Greenwell Avenue, Klemme Drive, and Glenroy Avenue. It’s not just another piece of land; this site is destined to become a hub for young female athletes to hone their skills and foster their love for sports. With an anticipated opening during the 2026 fall sports season, the excitement is already building among the community and student athletes alike.

  • A state-of-the-art turf field perfect for soccer, lacrosse, and flag football.
  • An eight-lane outdoor track designed for track and field events.
  • Dedicated courts for tennis and pickleball.
  • Ample spectator seating for fans and supporters.
  • Convenient parking to ensure easy access to the facility.

But that’s just the beginning. A two-story athletic center is also on the blueprint, specifically tailored for Seton student-athletes. This center will feature a range of amenities including a weight room, training room, team meeting spaces, and a health and wellness center. Additionally, there will be batting tunnels and a golf simulator to cater to all kinds of aspiring athletes. Plus, who could forget the spacious locker rooms to help young athletes prepare for their games?

Community Spirit and Connectivity

Taking community engagement to the next level, the complex will not only serve Seton’s athletes but also host local grade school teams and various sports leagues. A concession area with outdoor dining will perk up event days, while a spirit shop allows fans to wear their colors proudly. For those special game days, expect stadium seating that ensures everyone has a great view of the action.

The athletic center isn’t just for the athletes either; it will offer four luxury suites and a press box for media broadcasts, adding a touch of sophistication to local events!

Funding and Future Prospects

You might be wondering how this expansive project is being funded. The financial backing comes from generous donors and grants, all part of the Seton Centennial fundraising initiative. The hope is that this complex will not only elevate the school’s athletic programs but also drive local development and investment in the surrounding area, boosting the economy in ways many haven’t imagined yet.

Empowering Young Women

Senior athlete Lydia Johnson also expressed her excitement about the opportunities the new complex will bring, noting its empowering nature for female athletes.

In short, the construction of this all-girls sports complex is more than just bricks and mortar; it’s a remarkable step forward in fostering an environment where young women can thrive in sports. Construction is set to continue through 2026, and as they say, great things take time. The horizon for girls’ athletics in Greater Cincinnati has never looked brighter!
