“It is truly a blessing to have the opportunity to bring a mini-pitch (soccer pitch) to the greater Indianapolis area. I believe that the mini-pitch will serve the community in several ways by granting local residents exposure to new opportunities through the beautiful game of soccer! When God blesses you, you have to be a blessing unto others. Just as my family and the city of Indianapolis have contributed toward my success, it is my turn and duty to be a catalyst and empower my community through the game of soccer.” Ray_Gaddis 

“The new mini-pitch at Oscar Charleston Park will allow even more residents to play soccer with their friends, families, and neighbors, We know that quality parks can help build community ties, increase healthy lifestyle choices, and provide benefits to the local environment and economy.” mayorjoeforindy

“The BWPC could not be more excited for this mini-pitch to open at Oscar Charleston Park, We hope this pitch provides a safe space to discover and enjoy the game of soccer, while also encouraging its users to learn more about some of the women playing at the highest level. Enjoy the pitch and we hope to be there in person with you all soon!” imdorsey

We are thrilled to continue opening new mini-pitches across the country, like the one at Oscar Charleston Park. These new spaces not only provide a safe place to play our game, but make it easier for children to be physically active and connect with friends and coaches. Even more, these mini-pitches honoring BPC and BWPC inspire the next generation and provide role models that look like them on and off the field.” edfostersimeon  ussoccerfoundation

“The project at Oscar Charleston Park honoring Ray Gaddis is a great example of how impactful the Black Players for Change and Black Women’s Player Collective initiatives can be, For years to come, these kids and families are going to have a high-quality space to enjoy the sport, develop important life skills, and have fun. We’re proud to be a part of it.”  muscolighting
