Our soccer clinics are intended to teach children of all skill levels. 

Donations of any size are gratefully accepted; our listed amounts are merely suggestions. Participation is open to all.

Your donation helps ensure that children of all socio-economic levels have access to sports. Why is this important? 

• In the United States, nearly one in three children is overweight or obese. The problem is even more acute in underserved populations. Regular soccer activities provide a tool to combat childhood obesity while promoting healthy lifestyles through nutrition education.

• Young athletes do better in school, devote more time to studying, think more about their future, aspire to attend and graduate college, and have lower suspension and expulsion rates. (“The Benefits of Youth Sports,” 2017 National Council for Youth Sports)

• Mentored youth are more likely to aspire to and attend college, more likely to take leadership roles in school and extracurricular activities, and more likely to regularly volunteer in their communities; additionally, these positive mentoring effects have a greater impact on at-risk youth. (“The Mentoring Effect,” 2014) 

Thank you for giving what you can and coming out to have fun with us!
