When Canadian soccer player Atiba Hutchinson began playing in Europe 25 years ago, he noticed something he'd never seen before: tiny soccer pitches, built right into the fabric of city neighbourhoods. He saw them in Italy, in Denmark, in the Netherlands, in Turkey. These tiny pitches didn't require huge parcels of land, and they could fit into small spaces near kids' homes, where they could drop in after school or on weekends. Being small, they put kids in more constant contact with the ball, to practice their footwork. The infrastructure was cheap, small—and, he came to think, part of the reason why so many great players emerged from these countries: "The small-sided game in Holland is one of the best, and they have some of the best technical players, which I attribute partly to these pitches."
Hutchinson was inspired. He'd had nothing like that growing up in Brampton, even though his neighbourhood was full of kids whose parents hailed from countries where soccer was far more popular than in Canada. So, in 2024, he partnered with his hometown to open the Atiba Hutchinson Soccer Court at Century Gardens, a new youth facility in Brampton. Now, the idea is spreading: to Toronto; Surrey B.C., and beyond.
For Maclean's, Hutchinson has written an essay describing his work to get this new kind of sports facility up-and-running in Canada, and how it just might help make Canadian kids into some of the world's next soccer superstars. macleans.ca/sports/tiny-socc…

I was waiting for my transgender 14-year-old wth a drug addiction and a death with to hit rock bottom, so he might finally choose treatment. It felt like waiting for him to die. Still, almost every day, someone told me I would have to wait until my son hit rock bottom.
