Lou Fusz Athletic Training Center

The indoor facility is fine. A broken window that hasn't been fixed in a long time, the turf isn't great to play on, there are four benches for six teams and nowhere for anybody else to sit, but... fine. One of the people who works there, though, is an embarrassment. He had to step in and referee a match at a charity event because one of the referees who had been working the event (and who appeared to be affiliated with the facility ) was not there. The employee appeared to be on edge during the match. He commented multiple times about how experienced he was and raised his voice when players tried to engage with him or when he perceived that they slighted him by, for instance, standing on the sideline. Over the course of the match, he got into multiple verbal altercations. At the end of the match, a player was hit in the head. The referee did not stop play, and when that player's team called for him to do so, he did it begrudgingly, then ended the game entirely because "everyone yelled at him to stop the game and [he] didn't stop the clock." He proceeded to throw out the team and threatened to stop the charity event if they players did not leave immediately. The entire sequence of events was surreal. Getting into altercations with players and threatening to stop a charity event as a result is unprofessional. I have played on fields all over the world. I have seen good refs, bad refs, and refs who think quite highly of themselves. I have never seen a person weaponize the modicum of authority afforded to them in this manner, and it was off-putting enough that I will not be playing there again or encouraging anyone else to play there. Hopefully the charity can find a better place to host the fundraiser in the future.

Indoor facility but when you have multiple teams it gets really hot I guess the industrial fans don’t work. There are no benches for ANYBODY, players, cheerleaders or the audience so 🗣 DON’T FORGET TO BRING YOUR CHAIR!..!. And lastly the playing field is smaller than being outdoors so if you didn’t pick a good spot to sit you’ll have a hard time seeing the game

Great facility! Such an awesome asset for the St Louis metro area. Lou Fusz is also a great club. Highly recommend.
