Goal

We are a Los Angeles based non profit youth soccer organization that benefits boys and girls ages 5-19 in low income communities. Our focus is providing access to organized soccer to the children of underserved communities in Central America.

In our first year of operation, our program has opened up two community based academies in El Salvador with more opportunities in the discovery phase throughout Central America. In this short time, we have impacted over 150 girls and boys ages 5-19 through the beautiful game. Our participants gain a sense of community when they gather for practice and games. Their families and neighbors convene to cheer on their footballers. Our kids develop long lasting friendships, participate in a safe well organized sporting activity, learn responsibility through adherence to our eligibility requirements, have a new found motivation for academic success and self worth. Not only are we having an impact on the kids of Central America, but we are also allowing youth and adults in the United States and Canada the opportunity to participate in philanthropy through the language of football.
