Soccer Success

Help me give my students resources and tools to improve their soccer skills through higher level training. Having things like cones, balls, air pumps and snacks will help mold their skills and build confidence and motivation.

My Project

Having these items for our soccer program will really help develop the students into soccer players, motivate them academically, and most importantly, it will be a gateway to strengthening their social-emotional state. The goal of this program is to keep students off the streets and motivate them through the sport of soccer. Soccer is a very popular sport among inner-city students, and having these tools and resources will strengthen their confidence, engagement and provide a sense of pride in their school community. Our students are mainly low-income students from different countries around the world. We have one of the most diverse zip codes in the world, but the one language they all speak is "soccer." Enhancing this soccer program will unite and bring students from all different ethnicities and backgrounds together. Unfortunately, the school's budget does not have any financial backing for the sport of soccer. For the past two years, the students along with myself, had to pay out of pocket for equipment, uniforms and even transportation. Having these funds would bring incredible relief along with resources that will improve and strengthen our goals.
