VESTAL, N.Y. -- Athletes in the Southern Tier will soon have a place to hone their craft year-round.

Construction on the 53,000 square foot indoor 434 Sportplex' is nearing completion just off the Vestal Parkway.

The facility will house camps, clinics, tournaments and leagues for many sports.

It will also include an outdoor soccer field to host games throughout the season.

Crews are currently putting the finishing touches on the lighting, while installing cameras and speakers.

The owner says a complex like this was long overdue.

"It just kept being brought to my attention that there was a lack of space for kids to play inside and train and couldn't even find 20 yards of space for 10 minutes, I mean there was a real need for one," said Chris Riley, 434 Sportsplex Owner.

Riley plans to host a grand opening in the Fall.
