Strikers gets new turf
Strikers Soccer Center in Huntersville is replacing its artificial turf fields this month after 11 years of use, said Strikers owners Ian and Andrew Steedman.
The new playing surface will be completed in time for the beginning of winter league games, which begin after Thanksgiving.
Located adjacent to North Meck High School, Strikers focuses on developing players by playing games on small fields, where players get more touches.
