We look forward to continuing our partnership with Sky Blue.”
In addition to two grass fields and newly-finished turf field, which the team will use for daily training, Georgian Court also offers a fully outfitted wellness center that include a training room, hydro room, fitness center, laundry room, ice baths, team meeting spaces and full locker rooms.
