You can add one more mini-pitch in the Chester Upland School District to the U.S. Soccer Foundation’s goal of creating 1,000 new dedicated soccer spaces nationwide by 2026.
The second in the Chester area after Stetser Elementary School’s was dedicated three years ago, the hard surface mini-pitch at Main Street Elementary School in Upland will provide a place for kids at the school and who participate in the Chester Upland Soccer for Success program another dedicated place to play.
“I love soccer and I know the other kids do too, and this field was made so we could do that,” a student named Amaya Howard said at the ribbon-cutting ceremony on Thursday.
