Small‑Scale Pitch, Big Impact at Buena Vista Horace Mann K-8

At Buena Vista Horace Mann K‑8 Community School in San Francisco’s Mission District, a custom mini pitch has been installed as part of the school’s commitment to holistic education. Measuring 66 x 52 ft, this SoccerGround Portable court includes eight small goals and creates an intimate play area that aligns with the school’s spatial constraints and educational goals.

Play Designed for Young Learners

This compact pitch is built specifically for elementary and middle school children. The small goals, cushioned surface, and surrounding rebound boards enable safe and focused small‑sided games, which are ideal for developing coordination and game awareness in younger students. It supports safe ball containment and encourages constant engagement.

Aligned with School Values and Learning

Buena Vista Horace Mann is a dual‑language, equity‑focused school where physical activity is part of the holistic development approach. The pitch complements the bilingual curriculum and social‑emotional learning programs, reinforcing teamwork and confidence through play.

A Multiuse Community Play Area

Beyond recess and physical education, the mini pitch supports after‑school activities, neighbor meet‑ups, and recreational games. Its portable nature allows for flexible use of school grounds, transforming a corner of the campus into a dynamic space for movement and connection.

The Benefits of Compact Sport Design

While small in footprint, this pitch demonstrates how thoughtful design delivers high engagement. The Court can be used daily with minimal maintenance, and it offers students consistent access to sport and recreation that supports both physical fitness and social interaction.
