Proof in Action

At Palm Beach Atlantic University, SSC transformed athletic fields to host a Major League Soccer (MLS) friendly.

The last time an MLS game was scheduled, poor conditions canceled the match.

This time, despite a last-minute schedule, the field exceeded professional standards, so much so that the team requested a second game.
