RAVE Foundation is on a mission to build 26 community play fields by 2026 – when the biggest tournament in the world’s game comes to North America. Each RAVE field is developed collaboratively with the communities that surround them, and are activated through year-round RAVE programs designed to foster wellness, inspire learning, and create joy.
RAVE Foundation and our community partners have already opened 9 fields in communities throughout our region, with seven more planned for 2022.
Help RAVE build 26 free community playfields by 2026. DONATE TODAY.
RAVE fields are more than just a soccer space. They are a community’s place to belong. RAVE Fields are intended for the communities they inhabit, and can never be rented by outside groups. RAVE fields can be used for soccer, and for any gatherings or events they inspire. At their core, RAVE fields are designed to invite free, unstructured play.
RAVE fields are small, informing small-sided soccer or pick-up play. Some feature a turf surface such as RAVE’s flagship field at Seattle’s Yesler Terrace Park, and many are hard surface courts or “mini pitches”– such as the field that opened in Renton’s Highlands Park in 2021.
TODAY: Nine RAVE fields have been built, are open for free play and serve as the anchor for RAVE and RAVE partner programs.
TARGET: 26 RAVE fields by the year 2026 throughout Washington State.
RAVE Foundation partners with each community to bring fields to life through year-round programming focused on supporting the whole, healthy child – from Pre-Kindergarten through High School. Programming includes both physical activity and education opportunities.
