SOCCER FOR SUCCESS

Soccer transcends the boundaries of just being a game. Our program harnesses the power of soccer to enhance the physical and mental health, as well as the overall well-being, of children in under-resourced communities. 


Guided by trained coach-mentors, our program seamlessly integrates soccer fundamentals with essential social, emotional, and life skills. The outcome? Healthier, happier kids and stronger communities. 


Finally, each season concludes with an award ceremony for participants and their family members. This is a time to honor the participants for their commitment to the program.


Impact

Independent studies show that our after-school program improves health outcomes and leads to improved social and emotional well-being.
