CHA Partners with U.S. Soccer Foundation to develop "Mini-Pitches"

CHA Consulting, Inc. (CHA) has partnered with the U.S. Soccer Foundation to develop soccer facility “mini-pitch” concept plans for locations throughout the five boroughs of New York City. The majority of the sites recondition large, underutilized, areas of asphalt within the playgrounds serving neighborhood schools and parks. The sites now feature customized mini-pitches which are small, hard-court surfaces perfectly suited for organized soccer programs and pick-up games. Mini-pitches are designed for urban areas and other communities where finding a safe place to play can be difficult. To develop each site, CHA worked directly with local parties to meet the needs of youth in each community. The New York City sites and sites across the country are featured on a new interactive map developed by the U.S. Soccer Foundation.

CHA has designed and planned soccer facilities alongside the U.S. Soccer Foundation for sites in California, Ohio, Virginia, Washington, Texas, Indiana, Louisiana, Connecticut, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Illinois, South Carolina, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Washington, DC, and now nearly 50 mini-pitch sites throughout New York City:

Flushing Meadows Corona Park – Queens (Before & After)

Irwin Altman Middle School – Queens (Before & After)

Moore Playground – Manhattan (Before & After)
