Kansas City likes to tout itself as the nation’s soccer capital and a scheduled ribbon-cutting ceremony Friday afternoon will enhance that reputation. The Kansas State School for the Blind will celebrate a newly renovated soccer field - or "pitch," as it's called. And, as KPR's Greg Echlin explains, the new venue is expected to be a big Midwestern draw for the visually impaired.
KSSB gym teacher Nicole Drake explains the rules to visually impaired youths at the Manhattan, KS, clinic.
Leah Enright talks with U.S. Blind Soccer national team member Antoine Craig, who was in Santiago, Chile, for the Para Pan American Games through a Zoom call at a soccer clinic in Manhattan, Kansas.
Leah Enright, the Blind Sports Coordinator for the Kansas State School for the Blind (KSSB) in Kansas City, Kansas, last September stood in front of the area inside the oval track where the soccer pitch would be upgraded. The new pitch is one-of-a-kind in the Midwest.
