The most impactful coaches teach more than the game.
They create environments where young people feel seen, supported, and confident. They turn everyday moments into opportunities for connection, growth, and belonging.
That's why we're hosting another live Coach-Mentor Training: The Blueprint this Tuesday, June 2.
If you're a coach, educator, mentor, or youth-serving professional, we hope you'll join us.

Compromise. Communication. Teamwork.
Soccer teaches kids more than skills, it teaches them how to support one another, solve problems together, and grow as a team
Bring The World’s Game home!
This summer, we're helping families and coaches bring the joy of the global game home with the launch of our new World’s Game Resource Hub.
Filled with free soccer activities, country spotlights, backyard games, Soccer BINGO, interactive worksheets, and more, these resources are designed to help kids learn, play, move, and grow through soccer, whether at home with family, at practice with teammates, or while watching the game together this summer.
Because when kids move with joy, they grow with confidence.

“Soccer helps you make new friends.”
Soccer helps kids in so many ways, building confidence, creating joy, and giving them the freedom to simply be themselves. And sometimes, the best part is the friendships they make along the way.
That’s what the National University, Harmony Academy, San Diego FC and San Diego Wave FC event was all about, creating a space where kids could play freely, confidently, and together through the game

900 and counting!
What started as a vision to create access to safe places to play has grown into a movement helping kids across the country play, connect, grow, and build confidence through soccer.
Today, we’re proud to celebrate 900 mini-pitches opened nationwide.
Thank you to every partner, athlete, coach-mentor, and community that helped bring 900 mini-pitches to life. We’re especially grateful to Musco Lighting for their continued commitment to helping create spaces for communities to unite around the game.
Road to 1,000.
Summer of ’94 tells the story of the leadership and mentorship that helped shape soccer in America forever.
Inspired by coaches like Coach Bora, our Yes, Coach! initiative with Stand Together is training the next generation of coach-mentors to impact young people on and off the pitch.

What started as Sundays on the pitch became something bigger.
A few months after moving to Miami, found community through Just Ball. Sundays became about more than the game; they became about family, connection, and showing up for one another.
Now, he’s giving that same feeling back to others while honoring the legacy his mom created through her constant support, sacrifice, and belief in him. This is the impact that lives beyond the stadium.
Soccer became an anchor.
Born and raised in Colombia, Nico brought his love for the game with him when he moved to Miami. Just a few months later, he started a local Just Ball program to create a space where kids could simply play, have fun, and experience the joy of the game without pressure or barriers.
With support and training from the U.S. Soccer Foundation, Nico turned that passion into impact. He built a community where young people can laugh, connect, and grow through soccer.
For Nico, the game has always been more than a sport. It’s a language, a connector, and a blessing that shapes the way he gives back. This is the kind of impact that lives beyond the stadium.
