CHESTERFIELD, Mo. – A 97,000-square-foot indoor sports complex in Chesterfield Valley is moving forward as the Chesterfield Sports Association recently announced the purchase of the property for the project.

Almost 11 acres located at 150 N. Eatherton Road will be the future site of Chesterfield Sports Complex (CSA), St. Louis’ first world-class, indoor volleyball and basketball facility, according to a press release.

It will offer a full range of youth sport services and amenities where 80 percent of available court time will be used by primary partners, including High Performance Volleyball – STL, Stratman Sports, and CNR Basketball.

There will be more than 10,000 hours of court time per year available for rent. The facility also can be used for pickle ball, futsal (a soccer-based game), wrestling, dance, cheer and sports, according to the press release.

The multi-court, fieldhouse is expected to attract approximately 900,000 visitors per year for clinics, camps, leagues and tournaments. Approximately 1,000 youth athletes will practice and train there during the week and more than 2,500 athletes will play each weekend.

“CSA plans to host over 40 tournaments each year that will attract out-of-town guests to the area to generate economic activity for local restaurants, hotels and retail establishments. CSA expects these out-of-town players and families will generate over 10,000 hotel room nights per year,” the press release states.

The sports facility also will create jobs for coaches, referees, trainers, concessions and maintenance workers.  

Keystone Construction Company is in the process of preparing the site for construction. Mia Rose Holdings is the developer, mw Weber Architects is the architect firm, and the civil engineer is Stock & Associates Consulting Engineers, Inc., according to the press release.

The sports complex is estimated to open in early 2023. Chesterfield Sports Association, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, will own and operate the facility.

“This is much more than an athletic center, it is a ‘life’ center and a place these young athletes can call ‘home,’ ” said Stuart Duncan, president of Chesterfield Sports Association.

“Along with giving young basketball and volleyball athletes a location to play their sports, our mission is to offer them a place to gain confidence, trust, self-esteem and good health. We look forward to announcing exciting partnerships that will enhance the facility in the coming months”
