NexCourt Selected to Supply Six Community Soccer Mini-Pitches for North Texas FWC Legacy Initiative

Former soccer player and entrepreneur Mark Kundysek helps bring excitement of the game to local communities through six small-scale community soccer courts

DALLAS-FORT WORTH, TX, UNITED STATES, June 8, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Dallas businessman and soccer player Mark Kundysek knows soccer on the big fields and the small ones. Long before founding NexCourt, Kundysek spent his years playing competitive soccer. Now, as North Texas prepares for a summer in the international soccer spotlight, he’s helping bring the excitement closer to home through the construction of six small-scale soccer courts known as “mini-pitches” across the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.

Designed to fit within existing parks, neighborhoods and urban spaces, the courts will encompass more than 30,000 square feet of premium outdoor athletic surfacing and create accessible spaces for recreation, youth engagement, and community connection throughout Dallas, Fort Worth and Arlington. By bringing dedicated soccer facilities directly into local communities, the projects will make the game more accessible to youth and families who may not otherwise have convenient access to places to play.

The mini-pitches are part of the North Texas FWC Organizing Committee’s ongoing legacy initiative, which aims to increase access to soccer and create lasting benefits for communities across the region, particularly in underserved areas.

“For a family-owned business from North Texas to be trusted with a project of this scale is incredibly meaningful,” said Mark Kundysek, founder and president of NexCourt. “Soccer has always been a major part of my life personally, so having the opportunity to help create spaces that bring communities together around the game is something our entire team is proud of.”

“We are proud to join alongside NexCourt to build multiple mini-pitches across North Texas,” said Monica Paul, President of the North Texas FWC Organizing Committee. “This helps fulfill our pledge through our legacy and fundraising initiatives during and after FIFA World Cup 2026 to bring the sport of soccer to our local communities, and we look forward to providing a lasting product for years to come.”

Founded in 1989, NexCourt has completed more than 10,000 athletic court installations across Texas and Oklahoma, including projects for professional sports organizations, municipalities, schools, developers, nonprofits, and private clients. The company has also become widely recognized throughout the region for combining high-performance athletic surfaces with community-centered design and long-term partnerships focused on youth recreation and safe places for children and families to play.

Kundysek, who played competitive soccer growing up, said the project represents more than just court construction.

“These mini-pitches are about giving kids and families a place to gather, stay active and create memories together,” Kundysek added. “Because they can fit within existing parks, neighborhoods and urban spaces, they make the game more accessible to more people. As North Texas prepares for a summer in the international soccer spotlight, we’re proud to help create spaces that will continue serving local communities long after the final match is played.”

Construction on the first installations is already underway, with several courts expected to be completed in the next week. Each location will feature customized athletic surfacing designed to support soccer training, pickup play and broader recreational use.

NexCourt has built a reputation throughout the region for combining high-performance athletic surfaces with community-centered design. Over the past three decades, the company has partnered with organizations including the Dallas Mavericks, FC Dallas, Dallas Stars, schools, municipalities, and charitable foundations to deliver courts and recreational spaces throughout underserved communities across North Texas and Oklahoma.
