Seton High School broke ground on a $16 million all-girls sports complex in Delhi Township, scheduled to open for the 2026 fall sports season.

The project arrives ahead of the fall schedule in conferences that include the Cincinnati Metro Athletic Conference, the Eastern Cincinnati Conference and the Miami Valley Conference. Schools across those leagues will begin regular-season contests in the coming weeks, with new facilities expected to shape training and competition for girls programs in particular.

Delhi Township now joins other local sites that have added capacity. Sycamore High School opened the new Dan Henke Field, a fully synthetic turf facility that already hosted the first varsity contests for the 2026 showcase River Cup series. The field sits within the Eastern Cincinnati Conference footprint and gives teams a dedicated surface for fall sports.

Skyline Chili Reds Futures Showcase Sets Recent Benchmark

The 15th annual Skyline Chili Reds Futures High School Showcase featured 84 high school baseball and softball teams from Greater Cincinnati competing in 49 games from March 27 to May 16, 2026. That event drew participants from across the metro area and provided an early look at talent that will feed into fall rosters and winter conditioning cycles.

Walnut Hills High School set a standard for student-athletes in the 2025 season with 99 students earning Eastern Cincinnati Conference All-Academic honors for maintaining a minimum 3.5 GPA. The academic recognition underscores how local programs balance classroom performance with on-field preparation heading into the next cycle of play.

Facilities and Schedules Ahead

Teams in the three primary conferences will open fall schedules on surfaces that now include the new synthetic turf at Sycamore and the forthcoming Seton complex. Athletes and coaches can review conference calendars through their respective athletic offices to confirm game times and venue assignments as the season draws closer.
