There’s a reason why those of us who grew
up living and breathing soccer call it “the
beautiful game.” When you look closely
at the sport — from watching school-age
kids kick around a ball in a neighborhood
park to rooting on professional teams
in the World Cup — something magical
happens. Soccer creates a cultural
bond, one in which spirit, diversity and
communities are brought together as one
because it takes more than a single player
to dominate the field. Add in passion and
skill, and achieving the goal makes the
moment even more significant.
Sounds a lot like what’s happening at
Grand Canyon University.
GCU’s already passionate sense of
community is adding yet another bonding
GCU Stadium's intimate setting should make it one
of the top college soccer venues in the country.
