The
Valley Sport and Events Centre (VSEC)
opened on February 1, 2005 in response to the growing
popularity of soccer and the need for a large, indoor,
open space sport and event facility located in the
Annapolis
Valley.
Based
in Kentville, Nova Scotia and conveniently accessible
from Highway 101 by Exit 13 or 14 (see Directions),
it is the only regional facility to offer indoor turf
with a “real grass” consistency. The playing surface
measures 120’ X 220’ and is complimented by four changing
rooms and a second floor viewing area for soccer fans
to cheer on their favorite teams.
This
ambitious project, a Valley District Soccer Association
initiative, was six years in the making with the District’s
soccer players providing a significant investment
into
this state of the art facility. Our funding partners
included Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency, Province
of Nova Scotia, Department of Health Promotion, the
Town of Kentville, the Municipality of the County
of
Kings, and Soccer Nova Scotia. The building is not
just an indoor soccer stadium, with it’s 28,000
plus square
feet of open space the structure is ideally suited
for multiple sports and events and available for
rental.
The
business community has whole heartedly supported
the
project with in excess of forty-five Annapolis Valley
businesses providing sponsorship funds to complete
the
project and purchase all the necessary equipment. Their
brands (logos) have been added to this web site
and
we would ask you to support them the next time you
require a service or product.
