From playing on the field to learning how to care for it, Bailey Arbic is having a summer she will never forget!

The @PurdueHortLA turf science junior has been working with @thekccurrent, helping maintain their soccer fields – but that’s not all. She also had the opportunity to help care for the Dutch national team’s practice fields during the 2026 @FIFAWorldCup, with Kansas City serving as the team’s home base. 🌎🏆
