About
U.S. Soccer Foundation Youth Programs focus on soccer through evidence-based soccer programs. The programs include Soccer for Success, an after-school program that uses soccer activities. The programs also use trained coach-mentors in their soccer activities.
• Ages: 6–18 years old
The U.S. Soccer Foundation’s mission is to provide underserved communities access to innovative play spaces and evidence-based soccer programs that instill hope, foster well-being, and help youth achieve their fullest potential. Its work focuses on children living in under-resourced communities and uses soccer to advance social impact across the U.S. The Foundation also offers coach-mentor training and opens mini-pitches to provide places to play.
The organization was established from the proceeds of the 1994 FIFA World Cup, with Alan Rothenberg, President of U.S. Soccer at that time, involved in its leadership. Its work is made possible by a broad network of partners committed to social impact and underserved communities.
Parents, players, and coaches have shared experiences from Soccer for Success and other supported programs. Participants and parents describe learning soccer skills, drills, and healthy eating habits, as well as enjoying playing with teammates and friends. Coach-mentors and program partners describe using program grants and support to run leagues, camps, and clinics, and to serve youth who participate in soccer across different communities.
