New Sports Training Facility Proposed In Milford

MILFORD, CT — A new indoor soccer training facility is planned for Quarry Road after receiving approval from the Milford Planning and Zoning Board.

The board unanimously approved a special exception for the facility at 262 Quarry Road during its Nov. 4 meeting.

The business, identified as Air Coach Labs LLC, plans to occupy approximately 7,094 square feet of space in an existing industrial building.

The facility will offer soccer training for children and adults, including individual instruction, small-group sessions and technical skills development.

Plans call for a larger indoor soccer field, a smaller practice area, a strength and conditioning gym, and a therapy room. The soccer fields will have synthetic turf.

The business will focus on training rather than hosting traditional soccer leagues or tournaments.

Proposed operating hours are 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., seven days a week. The facility is expected to accommodate no more than 30 people at a time and initially employ three workers.

Parking was among the issues reviewed during the meeting. The two-building complex has 262 parking spaces, exceeding the 226 spaces required for its existing and proposed tenants.

The property already accommodates several recreational businesses, including gyms. The board also previously approved a children's indoor playground in the same building.
