Polson Youth Soccer Association has received its first field sponsorship for the new soccer complex north of Mission Valley Aquatics.  

The easternmost soccer field will be named the Senators Mike and Janna Taylor Field in honor of sponsors Mike and Janna Taylor.  

Mike Taylor served in the Montana Senate for eight years while Janna Taylor served in the House for eight years and is completing a four-year term in the Senate.  

The Taylors first became interested in the local soccer program through friend Michael Hewston, who currently is the Polson High School girls soccer coach. They are strong supporters of youth in the community, and believe “sports make better students and citizens” by promoting activity, team work, cooperation, strategy, and uniting all walks of players.  

“We are fortunate to be in a position to support the youth in our community and excited to do it,”  Janna Taylor said.

With the help of the Taylors’ $25,000 donation to the soccer complex, the association has raised well over half of the money needed to complete the project in 2016. The association also has received funding from the Dennis and Phyllis Washington Foundation, Polson Rotary, Greater Polson Community Foundation, Lower Flathead Valley Community Foundation and the Rolfson Charitable Trust, as well as many private donations.  Much of the development has been made possible by a generous gift from the Mildred Weber Hanson Estate.

There are three field sponsorships still available at the new soccer complex. The $25,000 field sponsorship includes one regulation-sized field named in your honor with recognition on an engraved plaque at the soccer complex.
