One Alexandria.
The City of Alexandria is exploring a new Alexandria Sports & Events Complex, approximately 210,000 square feet of year-round indoor sports space serving residents of all ages and abilities. The City is leading planning, design and public engagement, and the project remains subject to City approval. As the proposed operator, ALX Sports encourages residents and community organizations to participate in the City’s process.
The proposed Complex would expand indoor sports capacity across Alexandria, supporting established sports organizations while creating opportunities for new programs. Potential uses include youth and adult leagues, practices, camps, clinics and open play, as well as school partnerships, wellness programs and adaptive sports. Additional space could allow local organizations to grow programs currently limited by available facilities and reduce the need for families to travel outside the city. The Complex could also host graduations and other large-scale events.
Tournaments and larger events would complement community use, providing local athletes with opportunities to compete closer to home and supporting the long-term sustainability of the Complex as a community asset for all of Alexandria.
Fair and Transparent Access
If the project is approved, ALX Sports will work with the City, with input from local organizations and facility users, to develop written facility-use, leasing and scheduling policies. These policies would establish clear and consistent rules for allocating space among sports, organizations and users.
Community Input Will Help Shape Programming
The City of Alexandria is leading community engagement for the proposed Complex, including public meetings and opportunities for residents, sports organizations, schools, nonprofits and other stakeholders to provide input. ALX Sports will participate in these conversations and looks forward to learning from the community as planning moves forward.

Access for Different Users and Abilities
Affordability and accessibility are important considerations for the proposed Complex. Potential approaches to affordability include resident rates, need-based assistance, subsidized community hours and partnerships with schools and nonprofits. Specific programs and eligibility requirements have not been established.
The City is leading the design of the Complex, and ALX Sports will support efforts to incorporate accessibility into both the facility and its operations, including opportunities for adaptive sports and reasonable accommodations for people with disabilities.
