CREATING SPACE TO PLAY

Through Safe Places to Play, we transform underutilized areas, such as abandoned courts, empty schoolyards and vacant lots, into soccer fields. For communities where space is at a premium, we have developed mini-pitches: small, customized areas perfectly suited for soccer programs and pick-up games.
