RENTON — A few hours before the Seattle Sounders crushed the Houston Dynamo, Brad Evans and the RAVE Foundation opened their second minipitch/futsal court in the Renton Highlands. The Highlands Park court, next to an elementary school, adds soccer to available activities like tennis and basketball.
The week prior the Foundation opened a pitch at Seahurst Elementary.
For much of the stricter health policy portion of the pandemic, the pace of mini-pitch openings had slowed. Club Ambassador Evans switched up his approach. Rather than appear at assemblies and pitch openings he would host video conferences with kids around the region.
