Teamworks Somerset has been sold. Here's how the new owner plans to bring 'prestige' back

SOMERSET — Teamworks has a new owner, new management and plans (already in motion) for a significant face-lift.

Teamworks/Indoor Sports, LLC late last month purchased the previously franchised sport and recreation facility business, as well as the building, on Lees River Avenue and has begun renovations.

Among the scheduled improvements, according to a Teamworks press release, are:

  • A widened, non-boarded turf field with brand new turf

  • New synthetic surface for volleyball, basketball, pickleball, and futsal

  • New small, boarded field with retractable batting cages — for baseball and softball practices

  • Party room improvements

  • Exterior building repair and painting

  • Repaved parking lot

  • Added insulation

  • Deep cleaning and fresh paint on the interior and exterior

Steve Simmons, general manager at Teamworks in Somerset, talks about the renovations that are in progress at the facility.
