More about Street Soccer USA for Equality
By targeting the most vulnerable communities and creating initiatives to include individuals who are otherwise pushed out, SSUSA works to ensure equality in our cities.
Street Soccer USA creates free soccer programs in under-resourced communities to help individuals discover their strengths and take positive steps forward in their lives. Access to sport, in particular soccer, has become an uneven play-ing field, with the pay-to-play model sidelining the youth and marginalized adults who would most significantly benefit from the values, mentorship, team-work and mental and physical impact of participation. SSUSA’s unique curriculum connects soccer skills to life skills, giving players the tools they need to unlock the promise in themselves regardless of their circumstances.
