Last year, JJFC ran up against a simple reality: as the season progresses, daylight fades faster than our practice schedule. Just as players were getting into the flow, coaches were mid-instruction, and parents were thinking, “great, they’ll be tired tonight,” daylight would disappear and that was that.

When the fields got dark, soccer stopped. Not because the players were done, but because they literally couldn’t see. Field lights would give us back those lost evening hours — more time to train, play, and enjoy being together out on the field. With your support, we can make sure our season is decided by whistles and weather, not sunset.
