Passionate about soccer and want to make a difference in your community? You're not alone. In the U.S., youth soccer participation has faced challenges, with a significant drop of up to 14% in recent years. Access to the sport hasn't always been easy, but together, we can change that. If you believe in the power of soccer to enrich young lives and want to boost access to the sport in your area, starting a soccer league could be the perfect step. By creating a league, you're not just changing the stats – you're creating opportunities for young players to thrive, increasing community involvement, and inspiring others nearby to follow suit and establish their own leagues. Join us as we guide you through the process of creating your very own youth soccer league. https://buff.ly/4c5mZSy

I have read a plethora of lengthy curriculums and attended meetings and conferences on developing young soccer players. I have written such material myself and spoken at such events as well. Such practices are normal at pretty much every club. But when you boil it all down - bearing in mind that less than two per cent of players worldwide become professionals - a plan for childrens soccer could be summed up in four words: Kids. Ball. Game. Play.

There are many that ask what we do...and sometimes it's tough to put it in one sentence. So I thought I might show you. We connect the businesses with youth and school sports programs, to help give back to the organizations that have made us who we are today. In short...Building Stronger Kids Together...Growing Stronger Communities! #youthsports #growth
