Elite local athletes have to seek training, instruction and competition outside the Ohio County area. Underrepresented families have also lacked affordable youth sports opportunities and therefore miss life-changing personal development and scholarship opportunities by being absent from top tournaments and competitions. Studies show that youth in rural counties experience obesity at a higher rate than their suburban or urban counterparts. The complex addresses these youth community needs.

Funding for capital construction will consist of earned revenue, private contributions, philanthropic and corporate support.

The Four Star Elite Complex project will be overseen by a construction committee   established by Four Star Elite Force Inc comprised of community leaders, community partners and community business owners.  The present board of directors of Four Star Elite Force Inc are:

Not at all!

I am a taxpayer: No tax revenue will be used to construct or operate the sports complex.

I am the parent of a softball/baseball athlete: Your child will have a facility where they can learn, practice and compete. No longer will your child have to travel to practice indoors. Rather, our intent is to have elite youth athletes from the region to travel to Ohio County to train.

I am local business owner: Economic development can be positively affected by the Elite Force Complex. You need additional opportunities to expand your business. Increased revenue from sports tourism can provide opportunities in the Beaver Dam/Ohio County area.

I am a coach: We want to assist you and the parents you serve in building exceptional, highly competitive athletes in the region. The youth that you coach will benefit from instruction, competition, teamwork and strategy. Our intent is to provide an indoor facility in order for your athletes to train year around at the highest level possible to enable your team to succeed.

I am a teacher: Youths who participate in sports do better in the classroom. We want youths who participate in our sports programs to continue to be involved in sports longer than they otherwise would. Higher academic success and higher athletic success translate to better opportunities for college entry and college scholarships.

I am local government leader: We need your help to show the benefits of this sports complex on the youths of Western Kentucky, on our economic stability and growth, and on our communities.

I serve disadvantaged youth: We want to hear from you about possible partnering opportunities. We intend to extend assistance to those youth athletes who have the drive and ability to compete at the highest levels, but may not have the financial means to do so.

I am “just” a resident of Ohio County: All residents will benefit from the success of the sports complex: increased health and wellness, better competing school and club sports teams, increased tourism from sports training and growth of local businesses. These are just some of the benefits that are envisioned for the Ohio County area.
