In Partnership with Spokane County, the Spokane Rapids (Rapids) will strive to provide equal priority to balance local need/demand for use of the facility with hosting events and activities that draw tourists to Spokane County. In serving local demand, the Rapids shall extend the greatest priority for soccer fields to provide youth soccer programming services for boys and girls within the Rapids organization. Once Rapids needs are met priority is then followed by field time for other youth soccer affiliate organizations, then followed by other youth and adult sporting organizations and local community events, all the while, taking field maintenance, field wear & tear, and cost recovery thereof, into account. Field Request Procedures:

  • Soccer Fields are to be reserved by outside organizations by the 5th of the month prior to the season being requested.
  • All Field reservations are to made via email using the Plante’s Ferry Park Application and Usage Agreement for Non-Tournament Activities, along with the necessary supporting documentation per the agreement.
  • Fields are reserved by requestors in season time blocks: Spring (March-May), Summer (June-Aug.), Fall (Sept.-Nov.), Winter (Dec.-Feb.).
  • All Tournament field reservations are to be made via email using the Plante’s Ferry Park Facility Usage Application for Special Event Rentals

Field Allocation Procedures:

  • The Spokane Rapids Board has authorized the Spokane Rapids Facility Coordinator the sole discretion to assign and schedule fields, approve or deny specific requests, and to reassign fields due to extenuating circumstances. The Spokane Rapids Facility Director will help the Spokane Rapids Facility Coordinator on field scheduling as requested by the Coordinator.
  • • The Spokane Rapids Facility Coordinator will do its best to assign fields to USER GROUPS to maximize field usage at Plante’s Ferry.
  • In general, tournament or league games will take priority over practices. National, State or Regional Tournament applications are processed prior to league and practice requests. Past historical performance of the USER GROUP will go into the decision about new allocations (i.e. no outstanding bills, past payment performance, cancelation of field requests…)

  1. Spokane Rapids has sole discretion to assign and schedule all fields and shall have the authority to approve or deny specific requests as well as reassign fields due to extenuating circumstances.

The Spokane Rapids will have final authority to resolve all disputes.
  3. Spokane Rapids may consider the primary sport the facility was built for to resolve/determine conflicting requests.
  4. Spokane Rapids may consider denying requests that compete with its recreational soccer program.
  5. Spokane Rapids may also consider equitable access for groups representing a variety of sports to resolve / determine conflicting requests.
