DES MOINES, Iowa — Des Moines Public Schools will receive four new soccer and basketball community courts thanks to the Caitlin Clark Foundation and Musco Lighting.

The courts are a modular sports solution called Musco Mini-Pitch Systems, designed for soccer, basketball, and futsal. They have built-in goals and hoops, integrated fencing, lighting, benches, custom surfacing, and ADA-accessible gates. The courts will be located at Hiatt Middle School, Callanan Middle School, McCombs Middle School, and Weeks Middle School.

“Providing every student at DMPS with greater access to activities and athletics, along with the first-rate facilities they deserve, is an important part of our strategic plan to reimagine education in Des Moines,” Dr. Ian Roberts, superintendent of DMPS, said in a statement. “We are grateful for Musco’s partnership, and to now have the Caitlin Clark Foundation join us, in helping us realize this goal of creating more opportunities for our students.”

According to the Caitlin Clark Foundation the courts will open later this year.
