Blair Middle School — Before & After

Before February 11, Blair’s players had to walk 0.5 miles to a nearby field for practice — time away from coaching, touches on the ball, and the sport they love. Now they can suit up and walk out onto their own home field.

More Play Time

This isn’t just painted lines, soccer goals, and equipment — it’s opportunity. Because of our supporters and partners, we were able to bridge the gap between the community need and the organizations that helped make it possible. This is the More Play Network in action: more play, more time doing what kids love.

Instead of walking a mile round-trip for training, Blair’s players can step onto their own home field — more touches, more coaching time, more joy.
