After an exciting fall Just Ball season in sunny Los Angeles, the U.S. Soccer Foundation teamed up with awesome community partners to host the fourth LA Just Ball Unity Cup! This event was all about celebrating what makes the Just Ball League special: bringing people together for the pure joy of soccer in a day packed with fun activities.
The Unity Cup took the energy of league play to the next level with a pick-up-style soccer tournament, where Just Ballers got to rep their organizations and show off their skills. But it didn’t stop there—participants had a blast learning cool freestyle soccer moves, creating custom t-shirt designs with talented local artists, and even stepping back in time with a vintage adidas gear showroom. It was a day filled with connection, creativity, and, of course, non-stop soccer action!
