About

River Region Sports Fields LLC was founded in 2013 by former owner and current President, Jon Mitchell. Jon is a Georgia native with an impressive athletic and professional resume. As a former professional athlete and coach, he began to analyze how a playing surface can affect the players and the game. And so, it began…

With a tractor, a vision, and unparalleled tenacity, Jon created River Region Sports Fields LLC. Since its inception in 2013, he single-handedly turned this company into an athletic field construction, renovation, and maintenance powerhouse. But it gets better…

In October of 2020, Jon strategically transferred ownership to an investment group, with dreams to expand the River Region Sports Fields brand. Once again, he did not disappoint! Under new ownership, with a trusted team of 20 members, Jon has been able to focus on what he does best- developing and maintaining meaningful relationships and producing high-quality playing surfaces. Jon currently resides in Prattville, Alabama with his lovely wife of 18 years, Susan, and two beautiful children, attends Centerpoint Christian Center and is beloved by his tight-knit community.

    Zach Willard / Manager of Athletic Grounds – University of South Alabama
  • “As the Head Groundskeeper for the Montgomery Biscuits for the past two and half seasons I have worked very closely with Jon Mitchell and River Regions Sports Fields. Jon and his crew have helped myself and Montgomery Parks and Recreations renovate our field for the Rays at River Walk games. The infield clay amend and laser grade turned out great. The newly constructed mound and bullpens turned out very sharp and to specs. I will be scheduling my next verticutting between home stands with them. I recommend River Regions Sports Fields they are great to work with and work with you on scheduling and weather for any profile job.”
