KAILUA-KONA — Nestled amidst the afternoon hustle and bustle along Kuakini Highway, a free youth street soccer futsal program finds its home in a seemingly unconventional setting — old tennis courts situated below the busy street. Here, at Street Soccer Kona, youth athletes ranging in age from 6 to 18 trade the tranquility of traditional grassy soccer fields for the vibrant energy of their concrete surroundings at the Kailua Playground, more popularly known as the 'Ghettos.' The makeshift arena of the Ghettos futsal courts tells a story in its own right.
