“I am grateful that the BWPC is a part of this mini-pitch initiative with our incredible partners. Mini-pitches help us connect with black girls across the country and bring the sport we love directly to them. The mini-pitches are a place of joy, inspiration, and exploration that we are proud to bring to black communities across the country. We hope their inclusion introduces many to the sport of soccer, but also reminds them what they can accomplish in their own lives.” imdorsey 

“It’s hard to believe all that we’ve accomplished in one year. Thanks to U.S. Soccer Foundation, Musco Lighting, and adidas who supported us from day one. We started with a good project that transformed into a great one when Black Women’s Player Collective joined. These mini-pitches represent our dedication not only to these communities but also to our mission to make this sport more inclusive, and we’re not done yet.” justmorrow 

“What this group of partners has been able to accomplish in just one year is incredible. The fact that other local organizations joined these efforts so that we could create more than the original 12 mini-pitches we planned is a testament to the importance of this work and the lasting positive impact it’s having on children and communities. Not only do children now have more safe places to play right in their neighborhoods, but they have been connected with athletes and mentors who look like them, which is so important to helping them see themselves in all aspects of our sport and society.” edfostersimeon 

“We couldn’t be more proud of everything that’s been achieved in the first year, and we look forward to strengthening our commitment to Black Players for Change, the Black Women’s Player Collective, and the U.S. Soccer Foundation as we move ahead and continue with this important work.” muscosportslighting Jeff Rogers 

“Everyone should have a safe place for sport in their communities, and we look forward to the positive impact the  mini-pitches have on young athletes and local communities for years to come.” adidasfootball Skate Noftsinger
