At SFC, we’re proud to host robotics competitions at our facilities across the country. These events give young innovators a stage to showcase their skills and compete at the highest level. Take "Gateway to the West" at Highlands Sports Complex, where 149 teams competed in a VEX Robotics signature tournament—earning Ohio County Schools (WV) enough to send five teams to the VEX Robotics World Championships in Dallas. Students have the opportunity to hone their engineering and problem-solving skills while experiencing the thrill of a high-energy tournament environment. We’re honored to support STEM education through events like these, and we look forward to hosting even more robotics competitions nationwide.

Pickleball isn’t just a game -- it’s a life-changing sport. For pickleball players Sherri Bracewell and Carla Cox, stepping onto the court at SFC's Rhythm & Rally Sports & Events in Macon, GA, kickstarted a powerful health journey. Bracewell committed to playing six days a week and lost over 90 pounds, while Cox combined pickleball with mindful eating to drop more than 50 pounds and regain her passion for fitness. Their advice? Just start. As Cox puts it, "Your journey will never end, it is your journey. But the biggest part of that is you started it."
