How Mighty Bluebird Field Came To Be
 
Frustrated with only having the practice field once a week and having to share the field making it hard to scrimmage, Coach Hatcher began looking for a flat piece of land that he could put a couple of soccer goals on and make a soccer field. By putting his feelers out his wife, Lee, found an old friend in Rush Harding who was willing to sell some farm land to us to be used exclusively for Mighty Bluebird soccer only. Rush gave us a very good deal on the land and Lee got a place to ride her horses as well.
 
Mighty Bluebird field was purchased in October of 1999 and hosted its first game in April of 2000.
Mighty Bluebird field is equipped with a press box, a team room, a locker room for the girls, a soccer kick board, a scoreboard, and two full-size soccer fields along with one U-10 soccer field and a U-7 soccer field. Mighty Bluebird field was designed to give girls and boys a chance to have the best practice facilities in order to make them the best players. Because Coach Hatcher's oldest daughter is 14, he has twins girls who are 10, a 5 year old son, and a 2 year old daughter, Mighty Bluebird field will get a lot of use over the next 20 years as the kids grow up playing soccer. More importantly, it will give all the kids on the Bluebird team and their opponents one of the best soccer experiences they can have as young children. The national anthem will be played before games, the scoreboards will keep track of shots and goals scored as well as displaying the running time during the games. Finally, the highlight of any young child is to have the starting lineups introduced over the PA system as they run on the field. All of this will be a part of the game at Mighty Bluebird field.
 
There are also some extra fun items for the parents as well. Mighty Bluebird field has a barn on it which will serve as a concession stand and has a grill where following a soccer game parents from both teams can get together and have a hot dog or hamburger and share good sportsmanship talking about the game they just played. At Mighty Bluebird field it is the hope that the player is getting the maximum experience and this will help them develop their skills and we may develop several collegiate and even national players over the years.


The Mighty Bluebird Gymnasium

 

The Mighty Bluebird Gym was completed in August 2001, and was designed for indoor soccer and to let the Mighty Bluebird Basketball team have a gym for practices and games. The gym is also used for other purposes, such as having parties for the Mighty Bluebirds and hosting motivational speakers for the teams and parents.

 

 

 

The gym has a collegiate sized wood floor that displays the Mighty Bluebird mascot and logo. Also included is a trophy case that runs the width of the gym. The trophy case was built large in the hopes that the Bluebirds would fill it up with awards, and they are doing it very quickly!
