Kicking it on the soccer field isn’t just about scoring goals—it’s about scoring big in life! Research shows that participation in youth sports can lead to immediate and long-term benefits for youth, their families, and communities. Young athletes are more likely to do better in school when they stay healthy and active.
It’s no secret that one of the main barriers to participation in a quality youth programs is cost. As a nonprofit with a strong local volunteer base, we pride ourselves on keeping cost as low as possible. The fees we do collect go primarily to field maintenance and equipment. We continuously work on finding volunteers for the work and grants for funding for but those resources and available people are becoming scarce.
We share this opportunity with over 2,100 local school children and nearly 10% of those local children participate in our program!
Your gift directly supports this quality, extra-curricular program for our youth. With your support we can keep player fees low and continue to make this sport accessible to around 200 kids each season.
