FSC is a uniquely designed indoor sports facility dedicated to providing kids with an environment to participate in healthy and safe activities. The facility brings an unequaled set of features and amenities to Forney and surrounding communities.

“We will host local, regional and national events which in turn will provide the City with a wonderful attraction that brings kids, parents, coaches and officials into the City, making a positive economic impact,” said Mr. Gilani. “This is a significant investment in the future development of the community not only economically, but socially and athletically as well.”

FSC will be the home of the Stallions Basketball Association, a non-profit youth organization that focuses on player development and life skills. The facility will also feature leagues for youth and adult basketball, volleyball, soccer, table tennis, as well as camps and tournaments.
