The Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta Training Ground will hold open training sessions and tournaments, as well as host visiting national and international clubs. Designed by Atlanta-based architecture firm tvsdesign, it will be home to the club’s youth academy, first team players and club staff.
The design of the site and club headquarters allows for future growth and will foster an aspirational environment, giving the academy players the opportunity to observe and interact with the first team.
Construction began on the facility in February of 2016. In March, 2017, Atlanta United announced Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta as the club’s official pediatric healthcare system and the naming partner of the new training ground.
