News of a new sporting complex being built in Paris broke in late June and yesterday the Burchinal brothers, Sykler and Spencer broke ground at the home of NETS – Northeast Texas Sports Complex.
NETS is the dream of Skyler and Spencer who both desire to make Paris bigger and better for generations to come.
The idea for the sports complex came about two years ago but it wasn’t until Skyler bought the 52 acres of land on the NW Loop that the vision started to come to life.
“It was such a great opportunity and we’re very excited about it,” said Skyler. “This would have never been possible without the help of the Paris City Engineer, Carla Easton who has been great throughout this whole process and has done everything in her power to get the information we needed to get it done.”
NETS hopes the 40,000 sq. ft. complex to be up and running by the start of Spring of 2019.
The complex will feature a regulation-sized indoor soccer field, as well as two regulation-sized dual purpose basketball and volleyball courts.
The indoor facility will be available to rent for private events and will also have a concession stand and a small sporting shop.
Outside there will be three sand volleyball fields and two more soccer fields.
“We will be able to host leagues for soccer and volleyball, as well as clinical camps like soccer, football, church camps etc.,” added Skyler.
Another service NETS will offer locals is an after-school program.
“We will have two vans that will pick children up from school and bring them back to NETS for after-school care.”
Northeast Texas Sports Complex will be located behind Plex Roofing at 1301 NW Loop 286 in Paris.
