James Lick Middle School in San Francisco got a much-needed upgrade Tuesday.
The new addition to the campus is primarily designed to be used by the school’s soccer teams which used to practice and play on asphalt. That led to increased injuries and decreased participation.
Rogelio Alvarado, the coach of both the boys’ and girls’ soccer teams for James Lick, applauded the move, saying it would help immensely from a logistical standpoint.Sign up for NBC Bay Area’s Housing Deconstructed newsletter. "I think this is really important for very many reasons, but beyond the obvious and the physical reasons is the fact that we're recognized,” he said. “The importance of sports in the development of these guys."
School is almost out for the summer at James Lick, but it hopes that the new field will bring students back to the soccer teams in droves in the coming fall.
