One Team, One Mission, 24 Soccer Balls!
Funded May 25, 2022Thank you for your generosity to our middle school soccer team. This project donation directly benefits under-served youth participating in team sports. Together, we are creating opportunities for our kids to get outside, participating in healthy activities with their peers.
A new set of soccer balls ensures our student-athletes are able to practice and play to the best of their abilities. We work to provide a ball for each member of our team during practice. This allows everyone to build foundational skills and maximize their touches on the ball. This is especially important for the majority of our team that is new to the sport.
I believe soccer is known as "the beautiful game" for a reason. Our student-athletes are developing as leaders, communicators, competitors, and as caring individuals. We are excited for the upcoming season and appreciate your support! From our soccer family to yours, thank you.”

Funded Aug 16, 2021Thank you for your generosity to our middle school soccer team. This project donation directly benefits under-served youth participating in team sports. Now, more than ever, we need opportunities for our kids to get back outside, participating in healthy activities with their peers.
It has been two years since our season was cut short due to COVID-19. Starting fresh with new soccer balls has helped reinvigorate our soccer program. We have been able to provide a ball for each of our student-athletes during practice. Now we are almost three weeks into the season and our team is starting to hit their stride.
I believe soccer is known as "the beautiful game" for a reason. Our student-athletes are developing as leaders, communicators, competitors, and as caring individuals. We are excited for the opportunity to complete a full season once again! From our soccer family to yours, thank you.”

Funded Mar 7, 2020Thank you for your generosity to our middle school soccer team. This project donation directly benefits under-served youth participating in team sports. It is something I believe in strongly as a coach, and something I think we all need more of throughout the world. Specifically, I believe soccer is known as "the beautiful game" for a reason. This season, I saw our student-athletes develop as leaders, communicators, competitors, and as caring individuals.
Unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 school closures, our season was cut short this year. Our team learned of the closure shortly after getting off the bus before, what would become, our final away game of the season. Despite the losing score result, our team was in high-spirits, perhaps the most I had seen since our first game of the season. They were not joyous because the season was ending, but rather, because they had put forth their best efforts and felt accomplished in all they had done. I was a proud coach.
Next year we will get a chance to start the season off strong with new goalkeeper gloves that will keep our student-athletes safe and help them be successful. From our soccer family to yours, thank you.”

Funded Jan 25, 2018I was extremely excited to see this project get funded and so was my team. This year we had a record turnout with nearly 60 girls showing up to tryouts. We had so many girls we decided to create a C team and allow everyone to play.
The goalkeeper gloves, passing gates, quick feet touch boards, and CoachDeck have been awesome. We are using them every day. They have given us a more solid foundation, added excitement during practice, and allowed us to work more in depth with certain skills and drills.
We are now one month into the season and the girls are doing very well. Most have never played before, but you wouldn't know just by watching them. They show up motivated every day, put forth their best effort, and support each other on and off the field. I see them making improvements every day and these tools are helping us.
Thank you for your support. Please take a look at the varsity squad rotating through some of our stations during practice with the equipment you helped purchase. Thanks again and please consider donating to future projects. Your support goes a long way.”
