We're proud to play a role in helping to increase the opportunity for young athletes from all backgrounds to have access to the sport. We look forward to the positive impact the mini-pitches have on young athletes and local communities for years to come.
Skate Noftsinger
Director of Soccer Sports Marketing, AddidasA place to make new friends. A place to be themselves. A safe place to play. These are all things we hear from children about what their new mini-pitch means to them.
Our work is important because it's proven to help kids long-term, with over 500 mini-pitches & 4,000 kids that benefit in our programs.
A caring coach-mentor and a safe place to release her stress helped Dalila her turn her life around during a challenging time. Now, she's a first-generation high school graduate and college student with ambitions to get her PhD.
