Throughout the years, it's been difficult for many Upper Peninsula athletes to be able to truly keep up with the competition for one simple reason -- winter prevents many outdoor sports and training from taking place.
In Marquette, a newly-opened business is helping battle that problem.
U.P. Sportsplex opened its doors on Wright Street and offers up programs for everyone from youths to adults in their whopping 20,000-square-foot facility.
And it doesn't matter if you play tennis, golf, lacrosse or even like to roller skate -- U.P. Sportsplex has programs and facilities to help you stay in playing shape throughout the winter months.
In addition to simply offering facilities, U.P. Sportsplex also has training programs and lessons and will run various sports leagues.
The business will host an open house this weekend, Sept. 14, from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m.
