Street Soccer USA

At Street Soccer USA we believe everyone deserves to grow and develop within the supportive context of a team. Our mission is to fight poverty and strengthen communities through soccer. Through team sports we develop self determined problem solvers, team players and community leaders and surround them with the support and opportunities necessary to achieve their goals in life. Street Soccer USA's growth-mindset, play-based curriculum reaches over 15,000 kids, teens, and adults in low-income neighborhoods in 14 cities across the United States. Our Street Soccer Skills (Show Up, Play with Heart, Look Up, Take the Space, Build Your Triangle,Praise Great Play, Play the Plan, Adjust the Plan) progress two skills at time from fundamental, to individual, to team, to strategic lessons that translate the learnings of sports to real life. We work at the community level, partnering with schools, districts, local elected officials, after school programs, faith-based organizations, homeless service agencies, recovery centers and other community groups to develop and deliver programs directly, or provide a mix of services including professional training and technical assistance. Street Soccer USA's enterprise arm is a leader in development of facilities and events with social outcome purposes - The Street Soccer USA Cup Series is a globally recognized 4v4 event hosted annually in Times Square NYC, Union Square San Francisco, Philadelphia Museum of Art and LA Live Los Angeles.
