Transforming the Landscape
U.S. Soccer Foundation President & CEO Ed Foster-Simeon recently sat down with Soccer America‘s Mike Woitalla to discuss the progress of our mini-pitch initiative in the effort to make soccer everyone’s game.
Going the Distance
Natalia travels from Vancouver, Washington to Portland, Oregon four times per week to coach Soccer for Success because she feels empowered in her role as a mentor and believes in the ability of soccer to change young lives.
2019 Annual Report
As we enter the new year, we’re excited to share our annual report, which details events, partnerships, grants, and other initiatives from the 2019 fiscal year.
Celebrating Two Years
We are celebrating the second anniversary of It’s Everyone’s Game. Through this movement, we have created 250 Safe Places to Play mini-pitches and, over two years, have engaged 158,000 children in Soccer for Success.
Going for the Goal
In addition to soccer fundamentals, Soccer for Success teaches participants and coach-mentors, like Elias and Marcos, the value of teamwork and how to lead by example to achieve both personal and team goals.
