A Mini-Pitch is a small futsal-style soccer field to provide a safe place for kids to play.
Designed, engineered, and created by Musco Lighting to provide safer places to play the game, the Mini-Pitch System is ideal for transforming abandoned courts and other underutilized areas into places where children and families can come together in the spirit of teamwork, empowerment, and physical activity.
Soccer is the most popular sport in the world, and we are devoted to bringing more opportunities to the residents in Osceola. A Mini-Pitch comes with lights and benches, so all you need to play is a ball.
A Mini-Pitch is not just a place to play. It's a safe place to gather, make new friends, and create shared experiences. The addition of a Mini-Pitch allows us to foster a greater sense of community.
As a growing soccer community, Osceola residents continue to need safe places to play. By building a Mini-Pitch in Osceola, thousands of kids and adults will have free access to a safe and accessible playing environment.
"Kids and adults in Osceola deserve a safe place to play this beautiful game locally for free with their friends and family. My goal is to build the first Mini-Pitch in Osceola. I’d love to team up with the the soccer community and local businesses to make this happen!”
- Thomas Kedley, Osceola Mayor
"Osceola is constantly inviting visitors, business, and residents to experience our authentic, small-town charm. Mini-Pitches offer high-end facilities to expand our recreation opportunities. This project will help grow the development of our youth and for the love of soccer in the community. We are excited about this addition and the benefits that not only leads to the growth of soccer in our area but also the health and well-being of our residents."

"The game of soccer has created so many opportunities for me. Life-long friendships, learning to overcome obstacles, problem solving, teamwork, time management--all those life skills I use every day can be attributed to soccer. We look forward to giving the residents in Osceola the feeling of playing in a 'mini-stadium' and filling their appetite for soccer.”
- Jose Escareno, Osceola resident and Mini-Pitch Leader
"A Mini-Pitch in Osceola would provide a safe, accessible, and engaging space for people of all ages to enjoy the game of soccer and stay active. Its compact design encourages frequent use, fostering friendships and community pride through casual play and organized activities. The facility would serve as a positive outlet for youth, helping build teamwork, leadership, and healthy lifestyles. By investing in a Mini-Pitch, Osceola strengthens its commitment to recreation, inclusivity, and creating a vibrant gathering place for residents and visitors alike.”
- Fernando Aveiga, Real Estate Agent and Mini-Pitch Leader
"A Mini-Pitch in Osceola would open the door for more kids and families to get involved in sports, no matter their skill level or background. It’s a place where neighbors can come together, cheer each other on, and build lasting memories. The easy access and year-round usability mean the space will always be buzzing with activity. This project isn’t just about soccer—it’s about creating a hub of energy, connection, and opportunity for the entire community.”

"¡Este proyecto es para todos! and at Musco our mission is to create safer spaces to play and provide equal access and more opportunities for kids.
