CHICAGO (Aug. 2, 2016) - In partnership with the Chicago Fire and Chicago Public Schools, the new mini-pitch located at John Spry Community School, is part of a commitment made by MLS WORKS, the U.S. Soccer Foundation, Southern New Hampshire University and adidas to build 20 mini-pitches in underserved communities across North America. Each new mini-pitch will offer children in these communities a safe place to play, while providing a soccer environment that encourages unstructured play within local communities, supporting the continued growth of the game. Additionally, SNHU will award a full college scholarship to a deserving member of the local community as part of the dedication ceremony.
