Why are we changing?

• The Governor of NC continues to maintain a vague "phase in" plan to reopen the state. The plan does not address any specific dates or how many people will be allowed to gather during the phases. This uncertainty does not allow for future planning.
• We worked extensively with the City of Asheville to come up with a mutually beneficial plan, however, they advised us, at this time, they cannot commit to allow our events to run in the city, forcing us to move. We will return to Asheville in 2021.

Where are we going?

• We have secured a great location in Aiken, SC
• This is a 10 field facility, with ample space and parking on site. The fields are in excellent condition, due to their limited use during the summer months.

Powderhouse Fields are located at 950 Powderhouse Rd Aiken, SC 29803

Why Aiken?

• Aiken, SC is just North of Augusta, GA and Southwest of Columbia, SC in a beautiful town known for their polo fields, horses and southern charm.
• It is conveniently located only 2 hrs from Charlotte, 2.5 hrs from Atlanta, 4 hrs from Raleigh/Chapel Hill, 2 hrs from Charleston, 3.5 hrs from Myrtle Beach, 5 hrs from Roanoke, 3 hrs from Asheville, 2 hrs from Greenville and 4.5 hours from Wilmington.
• The city of Aiken offers a great main street with lots of shopping, breweries, restaurants and fun things to do when not at the lacrosse fields.
