Indian Boundary YMCA Mini-Pitch
In partnership with the U.S. Soccer Foundation, the Y recently unveiled a new soccer mini-pitch at the Indian Boundary YMCA. The mini-pitch was installed in honor of the late W. Robert Reum, local philanthropist and father to Courtney Reum, who grew up playing soccer in the Chicago area and serves on the board of the Foundation.
At the grand opening event, youth joined the Reum family and representatives from the Foundation, Chicago Fire, Chicago Stars, and the YMCA of Metro Chicago for an official “first kick” and scrimmages on the new pitch.
This enhancement at the Indian Boundary YMCA provides an opportunity to use this innovative play space to expand youth and adult sports programs for the greater Downers Grove area, including evidence-based soccer programs delivered in partnership with the U.S. Soccer Foundation, that instill hope, foster wellbeing, and help youth and adults achieve their fullest potential.
