September is set to be a busy month for MAN v FAT Soccer as our next batch of leagues go live across the US.
That includes our first forays into California and Massachusetts, whilst expanding our number of communities in existing states.
With that in mind, we’ll be welcoming our latest community in Pennsylvania with the launch of the Lehigh Valley league in Allentown.
Registrations for the league went live this week and we caught up with Chris Tripp from the Sports Factory facility that will host the league to find out more.
He told us: “At Sports Factory of the Lehigh Valley, we believe sports have the power to change lives, so partnering with MAN v FAT Soccer was an easy decision for us.
“We’re incredibly excited to welcome the league to our facility and to be part of a program that’s helping men improve their health, build confidence, and find a supportive community through the game they love.
“While MAN v FAT brings an outstanding program and community, we’re proud to provide the home where those connections will grow. We can’t wait to welcome players through our doors and watch this league make a lasting impact here in the Lehigh Valley.
“We’re honored that MAN v FAT chose Sports Factory of the Lehigh Valley as its home in the area, and we’re looking forward to building something special together.”
Sports Factory becomes the latest top class facility to host the MAN v FAT Soccer community and those that sign up will be able to enjoy what’s on offer both before and after the matches.
“From day one, we want every player to feel welcome at Sports Factory of the Lehigh Valley,” Chris added.
“They’ll be playing on our premium indoor turf in a climate-controlled facility, so they can count on a great experience every week regardless of the weather.
“Beyond the matches, we hope players take advantage of everything the facility has to offer.
“Whether it’s grabbing a meal or a drink with teammates at our on-site restaurant after the games, spending time together before or after their matches, or simply enjoying an environment built around sports and community, we want Sports Factory to become more than just the place they play—we want it to become a place they look forward to being each week.
“We’re excited to play a small role in helping these men achieve something much bigger than soccer, and we look forward to supporting them every step of the way.”
The MAN v FAT Soccer community continues to achieve great things on and off the field each week and Director of MAN v FAT Richard Crick is delighted to add Lehigh Valley to the mix of leagues across the US.
He said: “We are incredibly excited to be working with Chris and the team at their Sports Factory facility.
“We’ve already got a great relationship with Chris and his team and it promises to be another brilliant community to join those already enjoying their MAN v FAT Soccer experience.
