Tyler Adams is proud to be involved in the charge to make soccer more accessible for the future U.S. generations. His passion for soccer is not limited to his own journey - He has an eye on how to sustain the growing momentum for soccer in the U.S.A.
Adams has partnered with Allstate and the U.S. Soccer Foundation to unveil a brand new mini-pitch at Sandtown Park in South Fulton, Georgia. The mini-pitch is a hard-court space for pickup games and organized play, which only adds more access to the sport for anybody that frequents the area.
Similar mini pitches have already been unveiled in Philadelphia and Detroit, but installation of a new mini-pitch shows that while the World Cup may be over, the search for soccer greatness continues in Georgia.

"We've created an unbelievable partnership in the last three years," began Adams. "It was perfect timing to make mini-pitches in the leadup to the World Cup, hoping that the World Cup would bring a heightened image to the growth of the game."
"We started in Philly, went to Detroit and now just opened in South Fulton, Atlanta."
"To get eyes on these pitches and show that something so simple can bring access to so many different kids in these pockets in America where they don't have the opportunity to play the game as frequently is special."
Soccer is growing in popularity in the United States of America, and hosting the world's biggest sporting event this summer certainly helped.
Tyler Adams himself is a prominent member of the 2026 United States Men's National Team. He is part of the rare group players who stepped out to play a World Cup game on home soil in their playing careers.
However, Adams was once a child who fell in love with soccer. Now, he wants to help children across the country in similar boats to him through building something he never had access to - mini-pitches.
"Mini pitches didn't play a role in my development at all and that's exactly why I want to give kids access to them," said Adams.
"I was going to parks and trying to get kids to play. I was always the kid playing soccer with others playing other sports. Every now and then my friends, but I just want to get soccer fields in and around more parks so that when people are pulling up to parks, instead of playing pick-up basketball, baseball or football, you play pick-up soccer."
"I didn't have that exact experience, but I want to give it to other kids."
