SATX-NEM: Impact 9/12/2025

The city of Cibolo is ready for the return of sports activities at its Multi-Event Center, or MEC, main field.

What you need to know: Cibolo City Council green-lighted the return of sports activities Sept. 10. Sports activities can now be held for four days out of the week, with an increase of up to six days at the discretion of city staff. If a sports team books a date that was cancelled due to weather, the team can move to another date of the week if available.

Council also approved a motion to allow the local Relentless Soccer Club to use the field for Monday and Wednesday practices, as well as one weekend per month with opportunity for additional weekends if available. Another local youth sports group, South Texas Firebirds football, will also be allowed use of the field for one weekend per month.

Alamo Area Rape Crisis Center—a local nonprofit organization that supports victims of sexual assault in the San Antonio area—celebrated its 50-year anniversary Sept. 9.

What you need to know: The RCC provides comprehensive services to victims of sexual assault while doing community outreach.

The nonprofit organization offers crisis intervention, counseling services and client advocacy, according to its website. The organization also has a Bexar County Sexual Assault Response Team that works directly with law enforcement to enhance the quality of services provided to survivors of sexual violence and their families, according to the RCC's website.

What the experts say: RCC CEO Audra Atzger said that the future of the RCC relies heavily on the continued support of the community.

“We’ve had a great loss of funding across city, state and federal levels,” she said. “We need support now more than ever.”

Two to three sexual assault or abuse incidents occur each day in the San Antonio—further intensifying the need for residents to step up and help, Atzger said.
