On the cover:
Former golf superintendent Kevin White, now Athletic Fields Supervisor
at Seattle University, perfects Championship Field, home to the Seattle
University Men & Women's varsity soccer programs. The field serves as
both the practice and game field. Its vicinity to Century Link Field also makes
it an attractive venue for hosting training sessions and special events for
MLS, NWSL, national teams, and English Premier League teams.
