SPENCER, IA (Northwestiowanow.com) — Spencer’s old middle school gym has been transformed into the Tiger Sports Academy.
The new indoor training facility was designed to give local baseball and softball players year-round opportunities to develop new skills. KICD Sports Director Steven Cutler spoke with Mike Koenecke (Keh-Neh-Kee), executive director of the program.
The nonprofit board raised funds through grants, pledges, and donations to cover costs. Price was estimated to be around $260,000 to $280,000.
Tiger Sports Academy will serve athletes from age five through high school, with some college players expected to train during breaks. Spencer’s Youth Softball Association already draws 600–650 participants annually.
