State-of-the-Art Soccer Field Built for Excellence
Minnehaha Academy’s hybrid soccer field brings professional-level performance to our student-athletes. Designed with 97% natural grass reinforced by 3% stitched synthetic fibers, the surface combines the authentic feel of real turf with enhanced strength beneath the roots.
What this means for our athletes:
-
The look, feel, and playability of natural grass
-
Stronger, more stable footing for safer competition
-
Greater durability to support daily practices and games
-
More consistent playing conditions throughout the season
-
Increased field availability with less downtime for repairs
With stadium lighting, expanded bleachers, and an upgraded scoreboard, the entire space is designed to elevate the student-athlete experience—from weekday training sessions to full community game nights.
Guido Kauls: Leaving A Legacy That Shaped Minnehaha Soccer
In 1961, Minnehaha Academy's German teacher Guido Kauls founded one of Minnesota’s first high school soccer teams—establishing a program built on discipline, skill development, and strong faith. Over nearly four decades, Coach Kauls led the Redhawks to more than 500 career victories and three state championships, helping shape high school soccer across the state.
For Kauls, the character development of his players was paramount. He believed in developing student-athletes with deep integrity and care for others—values that continue to guide our program today. The field that bears his name stands as a reminder that excellence and servant leadership have always gone hand in hand at Minnehaha.
For today’s students, that legacy isn’t history—it’s the foundation they step onto every time they take the field.
