This confused the league, as the field, which is built for football, had been mostly used for soccer and soccer cleats are much less destructive on the turf than football cleats, Goulding said.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cWe told them that&#8217;s fine if in the integrity of the field is a concern, we can add in our program that the players must play with turf cleats instead of cleats with pegs,\u201c said Goulding. \u201cThey told us they&#8217;re not going to provide us with the permit for the field regardless.\u201c<\/p>\n<p>Following the field&#8217;s renovation, which was<b>\u00a0<\/b>completed earlier this year, the team was told that the school was not interested in hosting events for adults at the field, to which the\u00a0league argued that many of their players are teenagers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery year we have coaches coming to look at kids for scholarships\u201d said Dunstan Gilbert, director of CPLS. \u201cThe set of younger kids, now they have nowhere to play.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The absence of soccer on the field this year is a major break from tradition. Before CPLS used the field, other soccer tournaments had been held at the field going back to the 1980s.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor the 35 years I&#8217;ve been in this country, I&#8217;ve been going to that field and either playing, coaching or watching soccer here during the summer. This is the first year I can recall no soccer on that field,\u201d said Goulding.<\/p>\n<p>CPLS is not the only organization that\u2019s had difficulty security permits from Eagle Brooklyn since they took control of the field. Organizers for Grenada Day and Guyana Day festivals also faced obstacles, with Grenada Day only receiving permission to host their August 18\u00a0event two weeks ago, according to Goulding.<\/p>\n<p>When Vivia Morgan, director and co-founder of the nonprofit\u00a0<a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/friendsofwingatepark\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Friends of Wingate Park<\/a>, caught wind that CPLS was denied access to the field, she created a\u00a0<a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.change.org\/p\/take-back-our-soccer-field-the-old-boys-high-school-field?recruiter=1343457246&amp;recruited_by_id=44131ea0-3ed3-11ef-b8e4-13a1a130508e&amp;utm_source=share_petition&amp;utm_campaign=share_petition&amp;utm_medium=copylink&amp;utm_content=cl_sharecopy_490131960_en-US%3A8\" rel=\"noopener\">petition<\/a>\u00a0to raise awareness.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis field has been more than just a sports venue; it has been a cultural hub where people from all backgrounds gather to celebrate their love for soccer and other sports,\u201d said Morgan in the petition. \u201cThe significance of this field extends beyond Brooklyn.
