GreenState Millard Activity Center

One year ago, the vision for the GreenState Millard Activity Center was shared with our community.

Today, that vision is becoming reality.

Every week, the building continues to take shape, bringing us one step closer to opening a destination where youth sports, esports, educational programming, tournaments, meetings, camps, and community events will come together under one roof.

Planning an event in 2027?
We’re now accepting inquiries for tournaments.

We’re building more than a facility - we’re creating a place where our community will connect, compete, learn, and grow for years to come.

Right now, these headphones are sitting in the middle of a construction site.

But imagine this…

Soon, this space will be home to competition, teamwork, strategy, and friendships built through gaming.

The GreenState Millard Activity Center will include a dedicated esports space where students can compete, learn, connect, and grow.

Will future champions play here?
Maybe.

What we know for sure is that this will be a safe, welcoming environment where young people can develop skills, confidence, and community.

And yes - someday, one of the students who starts here may compete on the biggest stages in esports.

Right now, it’s concrete, steel, and a vision. But not for long...

Very soon, this space will be filled with serves, spikes, celebrations, and championship moments.

The GreenState Millard Activity Center will feature six hardwood courts, creating space for leagues, tournaments, practices, and competitions for athletes of all ages.

What you see today is a construction site. What you’ll see this fall is a community coming together through sports, and we can't wait to welcome the first serve!

As the world’s best soccer players compete on the biggest stage, young athletes everywhere are watching, learning, and dreaming.

At the GreenState Millard Activity Center, we’re creating a space where those dreams can begin. Our 5,000-square-foot indoor turf area will provide opportunities for:

⭐ Soccer training and skills development
⭐ Speed and agility workouts
⭐ Goalkeeper training
⭐ Small-group practices and clinics
⭐ Year-round athlete development - rain, snow, or shine

Today’s FIFA World Cup stars were once kids with a ball and a dream. As we cheer on Team USA and athletes from around the world, we’re excited to build a place where the next generation of players can train, grow, and discover what’s possible.

Good luck, U.S. Soccer!
The next generation is watching.

Last week, our team had the opportunity to visit the construction site of the future GreenState Millard Activity Center and see the incredible progress happening inside the building.

While walls are still going up and floors are still being poured, it’s already exciting to imagine the impact this space will have on kids and families across our community. This was also a chance to simply pause and say thank you to our entire Spark team for an amazing school year. 💚

At Spark, there really is no “off season.”
We move straight from the school-year program into summer programming - and we’re already looking ahead to all the possibilities this new space will bring.
Some future Spark programs will call the GreenState Millard Activity Center home, and we truly believe students are going to love it here.

There’s still a lot under construction… but the vision is already becoming real.

Stay tuned - and for now, here’s a little behind-the-scenes look at how it all looked last week. ✨

We are excited to welcome Mike Mackie to the GreenState Millard Activity Center team as our new Programming and Operations Manager! 🎉

A major win for Millard families and young athletes! 🏀🏐

OrthoNebraska and Millard Public Schools Foundation are partnering to bring youth sports performance programming to the future GreenState Millard Activity Center.

This new collaboration will provide families with greater access to:
✔️ Sports performance training
✔️ Injury prevention resources
✔️ Strength & agility coaching
✔️ Athlete development opportunities

The dedicated space inside the new activity center will help support athletes at every stage while making high-quality training more accessible for Millard families.

We can’t wait to see the impact this partnership will have on our community as we prepare for the facility’s opening in January 2027!

⚠️ We almost posted these photos too late… because if we waited until tomorrow, there would already be even more progress. 😅

But we had to share a quick look at the future GreenState Millard Activity Center today - and WOW.

Every time we walk through the building, it feels more real. The walls are going up, the spaces are taking shape, and the excitement keeps growing right along with it.

We’re incredibly grateful to our partners, contractors, and everyone helping bring this vision to life. Seeing how quickly this project is moving is both exciting and inspiring. 💚

And the best part? This is only the beginning. Soon, we’ll start sharing more behind-the-scenes updates about how we’re preparing for opening day, what’s coming inside the facility, and all the ways this space will serve our community for years to come.

It’s happening… and it’s happening fast. 🚧✨
