Jacobs Entertainment has announced plans to develop several multi-sport fields in downtown Reno to host tournaments as part of a new traveling youth sports initiative.
The initiative, which will be known as the Downtown Reno Amateur Sports Association, will be affiliated with J Resort and host both traveling and local youth teams.
Officials plan to construct up to 12 fields over the next six years, with the first four expected to open next summer; as of now, Jacobs Entertainment has secured land for three of four fields.
DRASA’s long-term goal is to develop four flat fields, each for 7-on-7, 9-on-9, and 11-on-11 play, accommodating all youth age groups.
The fields is expected to be compatible for multiple sports, including soccer and lacrosse. High school lacrosse was recently approved by Nevada’s state legislature as an official Nevada high school sport.
All four fields will be within walking distance of J Resort and adjacent to ReDirect Athletics, a nonprofit organization that Jacobs Entertainment assists.
Jacobs added that J Resort’s first traveling youth soccer weekend is scheduled for June 5-6, 2026, with tournaments expected to continue throughout the year.
