According to the Aspen Institute's Project Play, more than 20 million children in the U.S. live in households that cannot afford the costs associated with youth sports.

Too Many Kids Are Being Left on the Sidelines

In the U.S., access to sports and safe recreational opportunities is not equal. Cost, transportation, lack of facilities, and other barriers can keep children from participating.

And this isn't simply about playing soccer. When a child has access to a team, a coach, and a safe place to play, they gain opportunities to develop confidence, teamwork, discipline, resilience, and a sense of belonging.

This is where we come in.

We believe where a child comes from (or what their family can afford) shouldn't determine whether they get to play.

Your support helps us remove those barriers and put more children on the field.
