Our non-profit was launched after working in the Boyle Heights Community and with Mendez High School for 10+ years and seeing the profound impact that soccer had to bring hope and opportunity. Young men that were heading toward dropping out of high school found purpose, motivation, and drive through playing soccer. With additional support, through mentoring and tutoring, they were able to change the trajectory of their lives. Some went on to play soccer in college and graduate with Associates and Bachelor’s degrees. This is the foundation we are built on.
We currently offer free soccer clinics for the community around Franklin Middle school in Long Beach, California. The goal of these clinics is to bring an opportunity for kids of all ages and skill levels to get outside, have fun, get exercise, meet new friends, and experience quality coaching. These clinics will run throughout the spring and fall of 2023.
The vision for the future is to develop elite teams out of these clinics with a focus on leadership and academic growth.
