By Paul Post<\/p>\n

Dan McQuay purchased the former Agway store on Upper Broadway in Fort Edward with the idea of flipping it for a profit.<\/p>\n

Upon closer inspection, he quickly realized its 14- and 18-foot-high ceilings were just right for the business he\u2019s always wanted to run.<\/p>\n

The aptly-named All Sports Facility opened June 1 with training and competition space for a variety of activities including baseball, softball, pickleball, basketball, soccer, field hockey and lacrosse.<\/p>\n

\u201cI looked at it and said, I think we can make this work for just about any sport, not just baseball,\u201d said McQuay, a Schuylerville resident and retired U.S. Marine. \u201cOur big differentiator is that we\u2019re catering to training in all disciplines.\u201d<\/p>\n

The building had been vacant for almost a decade when he bought it.<\/p>\n

\u201cStructurally it\u2019s in great shape, but we replaced floors, plumbing and HVAC,\u201d McQuay said.<\/p>\n

Something \u201cnorth of a million\u201d dollars later, the gleaming interior has six baseball-softball cages, a basketball-pickleball court and a separate large indoor turf area for soccer, lacrosse and field hockey.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/b>There\u2019s also a strength and conditioning room with weights and exercise equipment.<\/p>\n

Out back, behind the building are two lighted pickleball-basketball courts and a spacious fenced in grassy area for youth baseball or Pee Wee football practice. It may also be rented for special events such as birthday and graduation parties, \u201canything and everything you can think of,\u201d McQuay said.<\/p>\n

He adhered to a simple philosophy when pursuing his dream.<\/p>\n

\u201cLike they teach you in the Marines, if you\u2019re going to do something, do it right!\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019ve been in a lot of different facilities. You know what you like and what you don\u2019t. It\u2019s got to be attractive. We\u2019re not a gym. We\u2019re a facility for space, so I wanted to make it appealing to the eye.\u201d<\/p>\n

Originally from St. Louis, McQuay is an avid baseball fan who grew up rooting for the Cardinals, but fell in love with upstate New York after marrying his wife, a Glens Falls native.<\/p>\n

During the COVID pandemic, he helped found the Schuylerville Stallions youth baseball program. There are several indoor sports facilities in the Glens Falls area, Clifton Park and immediate Capital District, but McQuay wanted to put his own stamp on something, close to home.<\/p>\n

Previously, he\u2019d taken his son and daughter, Schuylerville High School athletes, to a training center in Latham.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn winter you don\u2019t want to travel an hour to go practice or play a game,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

All Sports Facility Manager Brittney Sprague said, \u201cParents are investing so much time and money, sometimes you spend more time in a car than practicing. It gets to be a lot. Dan really wanted a place where kids didn\u2019t have to go so far.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou have a place to come inside here and practice if it rains or on those super crazy-hot summer days,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The baseball-softball cages have automatic pitching machines. One tunnel is equipped with Rapsodo technology that measures a pitched or batted ball\u2019s metrics. There\u2019s also a HitTrax that simulates live baseball.<\/p>\n

Eventually, McQuay hopes to add golf simulators, further enhancing the site\u2019s \u201cAll Sports\u201d reputation.<\/p>\n

Sprague is in charge of softball instruction, and McQuay is seeking qualified individuals to teach other sports.<\/p>\n

Currently open from noon to 8 p.m., plans for call extending hours from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. beginning Oct. 1.<\/p>\n

The venture\u2019s success will largely hinge on time management. For example, pickleball courts may be rented to adults in morning, while afternoons and evenings are catered more to youth team sports.<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe there\u2019s enough teams in all sports and enough population in all these communities \u2013 Queensbury, Glens Falls, South Glens Falls, Hudson Falls, Fort Edward and Schuylerville \u2013 to really make this work,\u201d McQuay said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
