Operation Pitch Invasion 

Soccer from the grassroots up

Build. Revitalize. Maintain.

OPI develops soccer fields and futsal courts in parks and schools so that kids of all ages have high-quality and safe playing surfaces to enjoy the beautiful game.

4 principles guide our work:

HEALTH: Develop safe, attractive, quality surfaces to get kids active in soccer play
ACCESS: Fill "recreation deserts"areas under-served with athletic facilitieswith new play spaces
TALENT:  Create the next generation of American soccer players who grow up playing the sport every day right in their own neighborhoods
COMMUNITY: Give the new generation of American soccer fans opportunities to spread their love of the game to the grassroots level in their own towns
