About Melissa Sports, LLC

Background

Melissa Sports, LLC was created in the Summer of 2016 as a business entity to join forces with the City of Melissa and Melissa ISD to design, construct and manage sports complexes located in Melissa, Texas. This partnership has grown into the management of all facilities located at Ford Sports Village @ The Z-Plex and Zadow Park.

We have partnered with TAG Training Ground for scheduling of all tennis and pickleball facilities on behalf of the City of Melissa and Melissa Sports LLC. Read about them here.
