Applications Now Open for Soccer Mini-pitch – Mini Peaks Legacy program<\/h1><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Boards of Education can now express their interest in having a mini-pitch built in their community, as a legacy celebrating the FIFA World Cup 2026\u2122.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Province and viaSport are providing $10 million for this initiative, which will see up to 20 communities selected to receive state-of-the-art, modular outdoor mini-pitches designed for schools and community spaces in both rural and urban settings. Mini-pitches will transform underused areas into accessible, low-barrier sport infrastructure that supports year-round play, inclusive recreation and youth engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each pitch will measure 18 by 36 metres and will be accompanied by programming and mentorship from Vancouver Whitecaps FC and provincial sport partners, including BC Soccer and the Indigenous Sport, Physical Activity and Recreation Council (I\u00b7SPARC), ensuring long-term sustainability and community benefit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The program is committed to equitable distribution across the province, with a minimum of two mini-pitches per economic region, as well as representation of Indigenous communities in site selection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further information and application details are available at www.minipeaks.ca<\/a>. If you have any questions, please contact minipeaks@whitecapsfc.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
