The Full Story
About
The Arena was created to give players a space dedicated entirely to development. A place where training has a purpose, standards matter, and every player is treated with respect.
Built as a soccer-specific indoor facility, The Arena provides a year-around environment where players can train consistently, sharpen their skills and grow in a focused and positive setting.
Meet the Owner
My name is Andres Meneses, and soccer has shaped my life from a young age.
I was born in La Paz, Bolivia, and grew up in Wisconsin, where I continued my development through competitive youth, high school, and collegiate soccer. Like many players, I dreamed of playing professionally. While I never had the opportunity to reach that level, the journey taught me a valuable lesson — talent alone is not enough.
What truly makes the difference is access to consistent, high-quality training outside of team sessions. Extra touches, individual work, and focused development are often what separate good players from those who compete at the highest levels.
That experience is what inspired me to create The Arena.
Why This Matters
The Arena was built to give players the opportunities I didn’t always have — a soccer-specific space where athletes can train year-round, get meaningful repetitions, and invest in their development beyond team training.
My goal is to help players give themselves the best possible chance to reach their dreams, whatever level that may be, by providing an environment built on Respect, Commitment, and Passion.
