Shared Use Agreement Provides Children With After School Soccer Program

Share On Social!

A shared use agreement (joint-use agreement) at Chula Vista High School allows over 1,000 children to use the school’s soccer field during after school hours. The partnership between a local soccer league and the school, has brought an affordable means of promoting physical activity, among the community’s children.

On weekdays children who participate in the soccer league use the field after 4pm, when after-school activities are over. During weekends, the league hosts games on the field, and residents from the community come out to walk along the field.

In exchange for being given permission to use the school’s field, the soccer league agreed to maintain it. As a result, the agreement has been beneficial to the both parties involved and more importantly, children are given the opportunity to participate in a sport that keeps them healthy and active.
