McPHERSON COLLEGE

It’s important for small colleges to give something back to the community. One way McPherson College does that is through the McPherson Youth Soccer Academy.

McPherson College is preparing to start new construction projects around its athletic facilities even as it prepares to lay new turf at McPherson Stadium.  Doug Quint, athletic director at McPherson College, said the school plans to start building new practice fields east of McPherson Stadium in March. Quint said the project is a much-needed step toward reducing the demand of both college and high school teams to use the stadium.
