RANGERS CONTINUES TO SEEK CLUB FIELD FACILITY
Ranger Soccer Complex

Rangers soccer club continues to focus on acquiring its own home fields and club facilities.  Funds from the the Bellingham Bay Marathon, which is co-hosted by WFC Rangers soccer, is ear-marked for the long-term acquisition of the Ranger Soccer Complex.

Obtaining home fields and facilities for all varieties of training, development, games, tournaments, and soccer camps has been a goal of the Ranger Board and Development staff since the origination of the club.

To the Ranger club membership it is no secret that the need for well-surfaced and lighted practice and playing fields is extremely high, particularly during the busy league and state tournament seasons. The acquisition of Ranger club fields will ultimately benefit both our club and the entire Whatcom County soccer community.

Current discussions of growth and development in Bellingham and surrounding Whatcom County invariably lead to questions and concerns about where we will find the available land remaining for placement of parks and outdoor sporting facilities such as soccer fields. We encourage the Ranger membership to stay apprised of the growth issues currently facing our Bellingham city and Whatcom County elected representatives.

A COMMON SENSE REMINDER TO PLAYERS AND PARENTS

The recent incident involving an adult male approaching Rangers players and personnel at trainings and games has prompted us to remind all to be alert and use common sense in public areas.  Note: the person of interest is now in police custody.

Please remind your players that when waiting or arriving at team practice and training areas to stay with others and in well lit areas. Do NOT allow players to walk off from the general, supervised area to “meet” their rides. Coaches, please do NOT leave players alone waiting for rides even if they say they “are on the way.”  Leave another adult to supervise if you cannot wait for a late parent or guardian.
