Join the City of Norman, the Norman Arts Council, Trae Young Family Foundation, and artist Vito DiBari as we unveil and dedicate "Elevate the Game" on Monday, February 19, at 10:00 am in the Young Family Athletic Center roundabout.

DiBari & Associates' iconic sculpture, "Elevate the Game," for the Young Family Athletic Center embraces the variety of sports activities that will take place in the facility. This three-dimensional installation for the entry roundabout features the figures of a swimmer, a volleyball player, and a basketball player. In the words of Vito DiBari, the 16.5' artwork "is to become a landmark honoring and representing the Young Family Athletic Center, its vision, and the people of Norman."

We invite you to join us in celebrating as a community as another Norman Forward art project elevates our community through art.

Later that afternoon, a grand opening event will celebrate the opening of YFAC with a ribbon cutting and tour of the state-of-the-art facility.

On October 13, 2015, Norman residents passed the NORMAN FORWARD initiative encompassing various quality-of-life projects with a 1/2% sales tax collected over 15 years. The Young Family Athletic Center was one of those projects, and we are ecstatic to see it come to fruition! This dynamic center results from a collaborative endeavor involving the City of Norman, Norman Forward, Norman Regional Health System, and the Trae Young Family Foundation. The center is a HUB for athletics in the community and, through this partnership, is designed to be affordable and accessible to the community.

The Young Family Athletic Center is a new approximate 122,000-square-foot facility built on a 12-acre site on the north side of Norman. The YFAC stands as a pinnacle of excellence, offering premier basketball and volleyball courts, aquatics, sports medicine, youth sports, sports camps, leagues, and a retail Adidas store.
