COMMUNICATION
MEETING DATE: May 18, 2026
FROM: Chase Ellis, Director of Parks & Recreation
AGENDA ITEM: Consider a recommendation regarding the Facility Use Agreement with the
Trophy Club Roanoke Youth Baseball Association. (Chase Ellis, Director of
Parks & Recreation)
BACKGROUND/SUMMARY:
The Trophy Club Roanoke Youth Baseball Association (TCRYBA) has served as a long-standing
community partner in providing organized youth baseball opportunities for residents of Trophy
Club and the surrounding area. Through recreational and competitive baseball programming,
the association has supported youth development, sportsmanship, teamwork, and community
engagement while helping meet the growing demand for organized athletics within the Town.
The Town of Trophy Club and TCRYBA have historically partnered through facility use
agreements that allow the association to utilize Town-owned baseball fields and related
amenities for practices, games, tournaments, and league operations. The previous facility use
agreement expired in January, and the proposed agreement would establish a new three-year
term for continued use of Town facilities. Under the agreement, the Town retains ownership
and oversight of the facilities while the association manages league administration, volunteer
coordination, and operational activities in compliance with Town policies and maintenance
standards. This partnership continues to support high-quality youth baseball programming and
maximize the use of the Town’s park and athletic facilities for the benefit of the community.
BOARD REVIEW/CITIZEN FEEDBACK: N/A
FISCAL IMPACT:
Under the proposed facility use agreement, the Trophy Club Roanoke Youth Baseball
Association (TCRYBA) will continue to assess and remit fees to the Town associated with both
recreational and select baseball programming during the spring and fall seasons. For the
recreation division, TCRYBA will assess and collect a $30 fee for each participant who resides
outside the corporate limits of the Town of Trophy Club and the City of Roanoke. For the select
division, TCRYBA will remit $2,000 per select team participating in the spring season and $1,000
per select team participating in the fall season. The agreement also establishes a guaranteed
minimum annual payment structure requiring at least ten select teams during the spring
Page 8 of 46
season and ensuring that total select division payments to the Town will not fall below $20,000
for the spring season.
Over the previous three-year agreement term, the Town collected approximately $16,720
(Spring and Fall) in fees under the existing agreement structure, resulting in an estimated 13%
cost recovery toward operational and maintenance expenses associated with the baseball
facilities. The proposed three-year agreement is intended to continue the partnership between
the Town and TCRYBA while establishing a more consistent and sustainable fee structure to
support ongoing maintenance, operations, and use of Town-owned athletic facilities.
LEGAL REVIEW: Town Attorney, Dean Roggia, has reviewed the contract as to form and legality.

community, the TOWN shall provide written notice to TCRYBA, and TCRYBA
shall remove the identified signage within forty-eight (48) hours of receipt of such
notice.

HARMLESS THE TOWN, IT’S TRUSTEES, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS,

PERSON AND/OR PROPERTY) DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ASSOCIATED WITH
ANY CLAIMS, DEMANDS, ACTIONS, CAUSES OF ACTION, JUDGEMENTS,
COSTS, EXPENSES AND/OR ATTORNEY’S FEES (“CLAIMS”) THAT RESULT
FROM, ARISE OUT OF, OR RELATE TO: (1) TCRYBA’S BREACH OF THIS
AGREEMENT; (2) THE PROVISION OF GOODS, SERVICES, OR EQUIPMENT BY
TCRYBA OR ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS,
CONTRACTORS, OR REPRESENTATIVES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT; OR (3)
THE TOWN’S OR TCRYBA’S USE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OF A SPONSOR’S
NAME, LOGOS, AND/OR MARKS, INCLUDING ANY ACTUAL OR ALLEGED

will the TOWN or TCRYBA be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential,
punitive, special, or exemplary damages arising out of or that relate in any way to this
Agreement, its performance, or the sponsorship. This exclusion will apply regardless
of the legal theory on which any claim for such damages is based, whether the TOWN
or TCRYBA had been advised of the possibility of such damages, whether such
damages were reasonably foreseeable, or whether application of the exclusion causes
any remedy to fail of its essential purpose. For the purposes of this Agreement,
“Sponsor” means any individual, corporation, partnership, association, or other legal

TOWN or TCRYBA in exchange for recognition, acknowledgement, or promotional

provided by the Sponsor (including, without limitations, an order form, invoice, pricing
list, or agreement), the terms of this Agreement shall govern and control in the event
of a conflict between the documents provided by the Sponsor and the terms of this
Agreement. In addition, any limitation of liability, defense, indemnification, or hold
harmless provision of such Sponsor document shall be void and of no force or effect.

PARKS & RECREATION BOARD
COMMUNICATION
MEETING DATE: May 18, 2026
FROM: Chase Ellis, Director of Parks & Recreation
AGENDA ITEM: Consider a recommendation regarding the Facility Use Agreement with the
Greater Northwest Soccer Association. (Chase Ellis, Director of Parks &
Recreation)
BACKGROUND/SUMMARY:
The Greater Northwest Soccer Association (GNSA) has served as a long-standing community
partner in providing organized youth soccer opportunities for residents of Trophy Club and the
surrounding region. Through recreational and competitive soccer programming, GNSA supports
youth development, teamwork, sportsmanship, and community engagement while helping
meet the growing demand for organized athletics within the Town.
The Town of Trophy Club and GNSA have historically partnered through facility use agreements
that allow the association to utilize Town-owned soccer fields and related amenities for
practices, games, tournaments, and league operations. The previous facility use agreement
expired in January, and the proposed agreement would establish a new three-year term for
continued use of Town facilities. Under the agreement, the Town retains ownership and
oversight of the facilities while GNSA manages league administration, scheduling, volunteer
coordination, and operational activities in compliance with Town policies and maintenance
standards. This continued partnership supports high-quality youth soccer programming and
maximizes the use of the Town’s park and athletic facilities for the benefit of the community.
BOARD REVIEW/CITIZEN FEEDBACK: N/A
FISCAL IMPACT: Under the proposed agreement, the Greater Northwest Soccer Association
(GNSA) will remit annual facility use fees to the Town on a graduated scale over the three-year
term of the agreement, with fees assessed for both the spring and fall seasons each year. The
annual fee structure totals $34,000 for FY 2026-2027, $40,000 for FY 2027-2028, and $46,000
for FY 2028-2029.
Historically, the Town has collected an average seasonal fee of approximately $12,585 in spring
and $11,775 in fall, resulting in an estimated 28% cost recovery toward the operational and
maintenance expenses associated with the soccer facilities. The proposed fee structure is
intended to provide a more sustainable funding model while continuing the long-standing
partnership between the Town and GNSA to support youth soccer programming and maintain
Town athletic facilities.

Page 30 of 46
1.1 Incorporation of Premises. The foregoing premises to this Agreement are incorporated herein
for all purposes as if set out herein verbatim.
1.2 Term. The term of this Agreement shall commence on January 1, 2026, and shall end on
December 31, 2026, unless otherwise terminated as provided herein (the “Initial Term”). After
the Initial Term has expired, this Agreement will automatically renew for three (3) additional
terms of one (1) year each (each a “Renewal Term”); provided, however, this Agreement is
not terminated in writing by either Party sixty (60) days prior to the expiration date of the

provide the written report required by Section 12.2 of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any
other provision in this Agreement, the TOWN may terminate this Agreement with ten (10)
days’ written notice to GNWSA if the proposed projected payment schedule falls below 50%
of the schedule above.
2.4 In further consideration for the use of Harmony Park and Lakeview Park, GNWSA hereby
agrees to maintain and publish a proposed use schedule (which specifically identifies
complexes and fields to be used) to the TOWN. Practice schedules shall be published at least

season. GNWSA shall identify dates that games are intended to be hosted at Harmony Park and Lakeview

value about Sponsor’s product or business; any message that otherwise endorses Sponsor’s

of the legal theory on which any claim for such damages is based, whether the TOWN or
