Soccer in the Streets is excited to announce the completion of our newest field project - StationSoccer Lindbergh. The project construction began over the summer and the new fields represent our fourth StationSoccer project. Soccer in the Streets was able to complete this project largely in part to our fantastic founding partners including Atlanta United Foundation, MARTA, the City of Atlanta Department of Planning and Design, MUSCO lighting, and Fieldturf. Additional local community partners that have also been involved in helping make this project happen include GA Power, Jacobs, Mercedes-Benz of Buckhead, and Rubenstein Partners.
COVID-19 UPDATES
Dear Soccer in the Streets Family,
Throughout the COVID crisis, we have been evaluating when we feel it is safe to start playing again. This involves monitoring the opinions of key health organizations, such as the CDC and WHO, and the governing soccer bodies. As of now, we are still not comfortable putting players back on the field. Most of our youth players are from communities disproportionately affected by COVID-19 and we do not want our Soccer in the Streets families put at risk by returning to play too soon.
