PERFECT GAME AND FIRST COMMUNITY CREDIT UNION ANNOUNCE CHESTERFIELD ATHLETIC COMPLEX

Landmark Partnership to Center on Community, Inclusion and Youth Sports

CHESTERFIELD, Mo., Jan. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Perfect Game, the world's largest youth baseball and softball platform and scouting service, along with the City of Chesterfield, today announced an exclusive naming rights partnership with First Community Credit Union (FCCU) for the Chesterfield Valley Athletic Complex. Effective immediately, the venue will be known as the "Chesterfield First Community Athletic Complex."

The partnership represents a landmark collaboration between three community-focused organizations committed to youth development, family engagement and inclusive opportunities. As part of the agreement, the newly established First Community Children & Family Foundation will also be formally introduced. The Foundation will serve as a major sponsor of the Miracle Field, an adaptive, fully accessible field located within the complex that provides athletes of all abilities the opportunity to participate and thrive in baseball and softball.

The First Community Children & Family Foundation's sponsorship will directly support inclusive programming, facility enhancements and family-centered initiatives designed to benefit youth and families across the greater Chesterfield region.

"Perfect Game is honored to join forces with First Community Credit Union and the City of Chesterfield to elevate the impact of this remarkable facility," said Rob Ponger, CEO of Perfect Game. "Together, we're not only creating a home for elite youth baseball and softball competition but also strengthening the connection between sports, community, and opportunity. The Chesterfield First Community Athletic Complex will stand as a model for how public-private partnerships can shape meaningful legacies."

Perfect Game operates the Chesterfield Valley Athletic Complex under a 10-year agreement with the City of Chesterfield. The facility has quickly become one of the premier youth sports destinations in the Midwest, hosting hundreds of Perfect Game events annually, including the PG BCS World Series, 2026 PG St. Louis Super Regional NIT, 2025 PG Softball World Series (Nationals) and many more.

"This partnership reflects our shared belief that investing in families and communities today builds a brighter tomorrow," said Glenn D. Barks, President and CEO of First Community Credit Union. "We're thrilled to help expand access to sports, recreation and support programs that bring people together and inspire the next generation."

City officials also celebrated the partnership as a milestone for Chesterfield's ongoing growth as a regional hub for youth sports and family recreation.

"We believe this partnership represents our shared commitment to creating first rate facilities that inspire performance and community," said Wayne Dunker, Director of Parks, Recreation, and Arts. "We're proud to partner with Perfect Game and First Community Credit Union to make this facility a place where athletes, families and neighbors can come together for years to come."

The Chesterfield First Community Athletic Complex will feature updated signage, branding and community activation events over the coming months as part of the rebranding initiative.
