Revolutionary Mini-Pitch for Youth Soccer to be Unveiled at Reynolds Middle School
Reynolds School District, the W.J. Silverstein Family Trust, Musco Lighting, and the U.S. Soccer Foundation will unveil a new mini-pitch at Reynolds Middle School to increase access to soccer for more Portland-area families.
The mini-pitch is part of the next generation of pitches that was designed by the U.S. Soccer Foundation and Musco Lighting to provide increased benefits to the community, including lighting to dramatically increase the number of hours kids and adults can use the space, benches to watch the play unfold, lockable storage for equipment, and other enhancements.
The unveiling event, which is free and open to the public, will include soccer activities, music, refreshments, and giveaways. adidas team members will also be on hand to volunteer at the community celebration.
