This is V3 Sports and we wanted to let you know we’re remodeling! Well, honestly, we’re starting over; crews are demolishing the building at 701 Plymouth Avenue North to make way for the new V3 Community Center, a place built by our community, for our community.
We’ve been a part of the North Minneapolis community for more than a decade, helping youth follow their dreams and achieve greatness through sport and academic achievement. Now, after years of fundraising, we’re expanding to provide affordable and accessible world class fitness offerings, indoor swimming lessons (to eliminate drowning disparities), and educational and business opportunities for you, your family members and your friends. We can’t wait to meet you, and share more about our mission and vision!
We’re breaking ground November 18th from 2:00 – 3:30 pm on the corner of Plymouth and Lyndale Avenue North.
V3 Staff, board members and supporters will join public officials for a “golden shovel” ceremony, food and fellowship to celebrate the beginning of Phase One construction.
