Athletic Complex

details

A state-of-the-art athletic facility built to support female athletes will complement Duchesne’s emphasis on health and wellness. The athletic complex is designed for young women with big goals. It includes a gymnasium with a cheering section that can seat up to 1,200 fans, an indoor track, an expanded weight room, larger locker rooms, and an area to display athletic accomplishments.

The final piece of the athletic complex is the renovation of the current soccer field. While the field will remain in its same location, it will have a new turf playing surface for our state-qualifying soccer team and other field sports, like lacrosse.
