The mini soccer pitch will offer a venue for young people to learn teamwork and build confidence through the game of soccer. This initiative highlights the commitment of the Sporting JAX Foundation, Gainbridge Super League, and other community partners to promoting youth development, sportsmanship, and healthy lifestyles.
In less than a year, Sporting JAX Foundation has reached over 500 students through free soccer training clinics, particularly in areas where access to soccer is limited or non-existent.
The new mini pitch is expected to further these efforts by providing a dedicated space for ongoing training and play.
