Her passion for coaching, combined with her commitment to the Forney community, led to the creation of Forney Indoor Training—a space designed to support athletes, teams, and coaches year-round.
Our Origin Story
Forney is booming. We've seen an increase in young athletes and sports teams— but practice fields haven't kept pace with growing demand.
When our soccer teams began searching for an indoor training facility in Forney, we couldn't find one that met our needs. Instead of continuing to work around the problem, we decided to solve it.
Forney Indoor Training was built to give our community a dependable, high-quality space to train year-round. A place where teams can develop, coaches can teach, and athletes can put in meaningful work—no matter the season or the weather.
