College now leases soccer fields in Prescott Valley and Prescott, which adds to the huge disparity in sports facilitates between the East and West sides of Yavapai County
The Yavapai Community College Governing Board at the December, 2015 meeting agreed to a five-year contract with Prescott Valley for the use of the Mountain Valley Park Amphitheater for its soccer team. The agreement may be terminated by mutual agreement upon 30 days written notice.
The Community College now has athletic facilities that are comparable to a four-year college or small university on the West side of the County. The East side of the County, with about one-third of the population ,has nothing comparable. Furthermore, it takes part in virtually none of the athletic endeavors promoted by the Prescott administrators for Prescott and Prescott Valley.
The following is a comparison between the athletic facilities on the Prescott Campus and those on the Verde Campus, Sedona Center, and Camp Verde. As you can see, almost all of taxpayer money over the last half century has been plowed into the West side of the County to build and lease athletic facilities the exclusion of about 75,000 residents on the East side of the County.
