Welcome to SoccerSpace USA's home
page.
SoccerSpace is about soccer fields. There
aren't enough of them, especially in the inner city, and we want to
contribute to putting that right.
Here you will eventually find a whole library of
resources for the acquisition, development, maintenance and enhancement of
soccer fields. Initially, we will concentrate on Los Angeles County
but eventually the site's information will cover the entire United States
and, one day, Canada and Mexico. In the meantime, check out some links
to resources we have already discovered and useful articles.
Let us know what else you
think we should add.
We will be developing a toolkit on all of soccer
field-related activities from legal to environmental to political right
down to how to kill the weeds. So watch this SoccerSpace!
In 2001, we helped Beverly
Hills High School fundraise for installation of permanent lights on
its one and a half fields. We raised over $250,000 for this project. Despite its famous name, Beverly has very
little field space and no money - it is a typical, underfunded California
public school which has to spend all of its facilities budget on
earthquake safety and renovating 70 year old classrooms. Visit our Beverly
Hills Lights and Fields site if you have a connection to Beverly or
programs such as AYSO and Little League that use Beverly's field.
