The People Behind
The Platform
Sports Texoma started with a simple idea: give this region a place to play. Here's who we are and why we're building this.
It Started With
A Conversation
A few years back, a group of us were driving an hour just to play cricket. Then another hour to find a decent soccer field. We kept asking the same question: why isn't there a place for this closer to home?
The Texoma region has athletes. It has families who love sports. It has communities that want to come together. What it didn't have was a home base.
So we decided to build one.
This project isn't backed by some big corporation. It's built by people who live here, play here, and believe this region deserves better. We're not just creating facilities. We're creating a gathering place.
Spring 2026 is when the doors open. But the work started long before that.
Why We Exist
To create inclusive, competitive sporting opportunities that bring the Texoma region together. We support local teams. We amplify underrepresented sports. We build regional pride through athletics.
Where We're Going
A Texoma where every athlete has a place to play, regardless of age, skill, or background. Where local sports get the spotlight they deserve. Where communities on both sides of the border come together.
Our Values
Respect
Cultural inspiration without appropriation. We honor the heritage of this land through art and design, not imitation. Our symbols celebrate. They don't claim.
Community
Everyone has a place here. Young or old. Beginner or pro. Texas or Oklahoma. If you want to play, you belong.
Passion
Sports aren't just games to us. They're how we connect. How we grow. How we pass something on to the next generation.
Balance
Competition matters. So does culture. So does collaboration. We hold all three together.

What Is Texoma?
Texoma is where Texas meets Oklahoma. It's not a city. It's a region. A collection of communities that share more than a border.
Sherman. Denison. Durant. Ardmore. Madill. Gainesville. The towns around Lake Texoma. These aren't just dots on a map to us. They're home.
For too long, this region has been overlooked. The big cities get the big facilities. The small towns get left behind. We're here to change that.
Our facility belongs to all of it. Every town. Every side of the border. One region. One identity.
