Mini-Pitch at Grundschule Hückelhoven-Brachelen: A Game-Changer for Schoolyard Play

About the project

In June 2025, the Katholische Grundschule St. Martin in Hückelhoven-Brachelen celebrated the opening of its brand-new SoccerGround Classic mini-pitch. This state-of-the-art sports facility brings the excitement of football directly to the schoolyard, offering students a safe and engaging space to play, train, and compete.

What Makes It Special?

• Compact dimensions of approximately 50 30 ft – ideal for small-sided games in a secure environment.
• High-quality artificial turf and a complete perimeter system with rebound boards and ball-stop netting.
• Regulation mini-goals for authentic match experiences.
• Built to DFB mini-pitch standards with certified engineering and long-lasting materials.

Why It Matters to the School

The new mini-pitch transforms recess and PE lessons into active, fun-filled experiences. It promotes movement, teamwork, and fair play, while aligning perfectly with the school's commitment to integrating daily physical activity into student life. The pitch is designed to be used across all grades, ensuring that every student has access to high-quality playtime.

A New Era of Schoolyard Fun

This mini-pitch is more than just a sports field, it’s a hub for social interaction and community building. It will host friendly tournaments, after-school clubs, and spontaneous games, creating opportunities for all students to stay active and engaged.

How the Pitch Supports the School's Vision

Grundschule Brachelen’s values focus on movement, inclusion, and social learning. The mini-pitch supports these goals by:

• Providing a safe and fun space for physical activity.
