Kicking for a spot on the team

Girls varsity soccer tryouts are held on the brand new field along the El Camino Real frontage of Palo Alto High School.

Construction costs were $1.84 million for the turf field, which includes a scoreboard and lighting for night play.

The field, which was ready for play Nov. 2 after three months of construction, will be used for boys and girls lacrosse as well as for soccer, officials said. Enclosed by an eight-foot vinyl-coated chain-link fence, the field has 20-foot-high netting at the ends to keep balls in. Bleacher sections are planned for the field's west side.

Nice.

Will this field be available for community use?

Like every other palo alto unified school district field, it's available for rent or through agreements with PA Rec.
