What happened: Lakeridge Playfield in South Seattle was highlighted in the RAVE 52 mini-pitch network tied to free youth programs. Johnnie Williams said the no-cost sessions give kids a chance to participate.
Why it matters: Free access lowers one of the most basic barriers to entry for youth soccer in neighborhood spaces. The South Seattle stop extends the same RAVE 52 mini-pitch project that reached Burien in June.
By the numbers: Lakeridge Playfield is one of 52 mini pitches in the RAVE 52 network.
What to watch: Watch for the next RAVE 52 community stop and any added programming details for other mini-pitch sites.
