As you drive down Landstown Road in Virginia Beach to reach the Sports Complex, you can’t help but be impressed by the magnitude that is the Virginia Beach Field House. When you walk through the doors you’re immediately greeted by a friendly front desk - that is if you can even manage to say “Hello” as you look around at the surrounding volley ball courts and soccer fields.

On Friday, April 8, 2011 the entire United Way of South Hampton Roads staff enjoyed a day of team building, improved interdepartmental communication, and had some fun; all thanks to the Virginia Beach Field House.

The Virginia Beach Field House generously donated the use of their huge, two floor, sports complex that allowed us enough flexibility to not only host a team focused relay that took up a soccer field, but also allowed for smaller meeting to be held in activity rooms for group communication exercises.

The lounge outside of the Blue Moon Grille & Restaurant was the perfect gathering place for our breakfast and lunch, departmental reports, and a place to convene in between activities. The Grille itself has an amazing menu with a variety of choices that could compete with anything off of the main roads, but at a good price.

Jed Sherman and his staff were very helpful, friendly and easy to work with before the event and throughout the day.

United Way of South Hampton Roads personally recommends the Virginia Beach Field House for corporate retreats, athletic events and just as a great place over all.

Thank you to for LIVING UNITED.
