‘Closer Look’ Visits Soccer In The Streets’ New East Point Pitch
Back in 2015, Sanjay Patel had an idea: make soccer more accessible to Atlanta kids by building pitches, or soccer fields, near MARTA stations. Since then, that idea has taken off. Last year, the organization said it reached more than 5,000 players. And, this October, Soccer in the Streets opened its third soccer pitch in East Point, which is located southwest of Atlanta. On a recent afternoon, “Closer Look” host Rose Scott met with Patel, the current Soccer in the Streets director of Strategic Projects, and Director of Programs Tony Carter at the new pitch.
