Project (SPaces into Places)  Re Surfaced East Austin  ​ 02.30.2020  ─   Raasin in the sun  1801 E 51st St, Suite 365   Austin, Texas 78723                    ​  1    Overview Resurfaced (Pilot) is a program initiative that explores creative strategies to activate  underutilized urban spaces. As with many cities the size of Austin, surface parking and  vacant lots have historically been unproductive in terms of serving the community versus  benefiting vehicle parking for a good portion of the downtown and surrounding areas.  Through Resurfaced, we work with the community and strategic partners to re-vitalize  these spaces by making low-cost investments that activate the space NOW rather than  waiting for big, long-term developments to take shape. These initiatives focus on the city  as the ultimate user interface, where the community can experiment and enjoy unique  locations filled with inspiring visual arts from local creative and begin dialog about how we  can revive the multitude of surface lots and underutilized spaces, ultimately, ​turning  spaces into places​.  Mission  Our mission is to serve the community through urban beautification projects that unite  residents and combat neighborhood deterioration. Through the implementation of  project resurfaced we will create opportunities for players of all skill levels, age, and  background to engage as a community through the sport of soccer, while providing a  place to showcase visual arts, community gardens to enrich the space, and incorporate  community centered events.   Vision  An environmentally conscious community space for pick-up games,community gardens,  visual arts, and community events.  Goals     1.

Training and Match Field Use Guidelines 1. Goals may be moved for training session, but goals must be anchored at all times once they are placed in their needed spot. Goal anchors should be on the assigned field. If no goal anchors are available, ask management staff to provide them. If goals are moved, they must be returned to their original spot. 2. Moving of goals for youth practices should be done by adults when able. If goals are to be moved by youth, an adult must supervise and assist in the moving of the goals. Goals should be moved one at a time so that proper supervision by an adult is in place. 3. Shooting and goalkeeper training activities should be done outside of the penalty area, preferably near the sides of the field off the normal playing surface. Goalkeeper pre-match warm-ups should be done outside of the penalty area. Pre-match shooting activities may be done within normal penalty area. 4. Repetitive activities such as ladder training, grid training, etc. should be done in areas that are not heavily utilized for normal play. Repetitive activities as indicated above should be limited to dry field conditions. 5. Only those individuals involved directly in the training or match should be on the field of play. Spectators should remain off the field of play. 6. Teams are responsible for cleaning up all trash including food, drink bottles, paper cups, ankle tape, shin guard tape, etc. and placing in appropriate trash containers. 7. Rental time includes set up, warm up, cool down, and break down. Teams should not get on fields before their scheduled rental time. Teams should end their session and leave the fields at the scheduled end time. This will allow waiting groups to get access to the fields at their scheduled time.
