A little soccer can make a big difference in kids' futures. With only a few dollars, you can be the difference maker in millions of kids' lives.
The 2025 Facilitator Summit kicked off in Houston, and what a moment it was. Hosted by our all-star Programs team, the event brought together coach-mentors from across the country to gear up for leading local trainings in their communities.
For the first time ever, the Facilitator Summit included all of our program trainings: Just Ball, Soccer for Success, and the Coach-Mentor Training in both English and Spanish. The energy was high, the teamwork was strong, and the learning never stopped. Participants built skills in coaching, positive youth development, public speaking, and more, getting fully prepped to lead transformative experiences back home.
With 41 participants (our biggest group ever!) now ready to take the lead, the Summit marked a major step toward our ambitious goals, including growing Yes, Coach and laying the foundation to ensure major upcoming sporting events spark lasting, positive change in communities long after the final whistle.
