Last week, Fields & Futures proudly hosted the 2026 ACAC Soccer Championship, bringing together high school boys and girls teams from across the Oklahoma City Public Schools urban core. These championship matches represented more than a season’s worth of hard work – they showcased the power of opportunity and the impact of athletics in our community.
A Championship Environment
A total of 16 teams competed in this year’s 2026 ACAC Soccer Championship, bringing together student-athletes from across the district to compete at the highest level. Because of Fields & Futures’ commitment and involvement, these athletes played on safe, high-quality fields in a championship environment worthy of their dedication. Events like this are a direct reflection of our mission to put more kids on more teams, ensuring students have access to the facilities and opportunities they need to succeed both on and off the field.
“Our ACAC Soccer experiences are about expanding access and opportunity for our student-athletes,” said Shane Sanders, Executive Director of Athletics and Physical Education for OKCPS. “Through our partnership with Fields & Futures, we’re creating quality spaces that allow more students to participate, compete, and grow – beyond the game.”
Showcasing OKC Student-Athletes
Congratulations to the Southeast Girls and U.S. Grant Boys soccer teams for winning the 2026 ACAC Soccer Championships. We also celebrate the Classen SAS Girls and Capitol Hill Boys, whose strong performances earned them Runner-Up honors.
“At Fields & Futures, we believe it’s important to provide a professional-quality facility with two full-sized fields that truly showcase the talent and dedication of our OKC student-athletes,” said Cody Laurendi, Director of Soccer and Youth Sports Advocate at Fields & Futures.
Providing a championship-level experience is about more than just the final score. When student-athletes have the chance to compete in a well-run event on quality fields, it reinforces the value of their hard work and gives them a sense of pride in representing their schools and communities. Opportunities like the 2026 ACAC Soccer Championship help ensure that every athlete in OKCPS has a place to play – and a chance to be part of something bigger than themselves.
More Kids on More Teams
Every championship match is a reminder of why this work matters. When students have places to play and compete, they build confidence, discipline, and connection – strengthening not only their futures, but the future of our community.
