Winter Sports
The weather in Tallahassee never turns all that cold in comparison to our northern neighbors, but we do feel a bit more of the chill. But our winter sports certainly keep things heated up with Basketball and Soccer, and the winter months are a perfect time to bundle up and enjoy a game of Disc Golf!

The Meadows Soccer Complex
The Meadows Soccer Complex is a facility which plays host to a number of local organized soccer programs. The complex is located in the northern area of the city on Miller Landing Road, just off North Meridian Road, and includes 10 separate soccer fields, half of them lighted. Most fields are multi-use, accommodating a blend of 7v7, 9v9 and 11v11 layouts (the Meadows also has dedicated 5v5 fields). One full field has an artificial turf surface; all others are natural grass. The fields, which can only be used for soccer, are available by reservation only. Open public drop in play is not available at this facility; however, individuals or small groups (3 or less) can play on a space available basis during times when fields are reserved for use. Please check in at the facility office to confirm available space. Reservation times vary seasonally.
