Good things happen when a nonprofit soccer club, local businesses, parent volunteers and the school district get together. Chandler Soccer Academy, a competitive developmental soccer club, rallied the community to repair Frye Elementary school's fields used for CSA's home games and their training site.

The ground was aerated and fertilized to promote lawn growth; then 20 tons of dirt were donated by Double-A Transport, as well as the use of a tractor from A-to-Z Rentals to improve the condition of the fields.

Chandler Soccer Academy was founded by Michael Miller and Stuart Koziol, who say they "pride the club on providing a competitive environment to young athletes at the lowest possible cost, while providing the highest level of training through experienced and qualified volunteer coaches."
