We believe soccer is more than just a game; it’s a tool for change, an artifact of culture, and a gateway into extraordinary opportunities to the world around us. Programs include:
- Co-Ed Recreational Soccer which provides safe spaces for youth in Little Village to freely express and showcase their soccer passion and skills. This program consists of training exercises, free play, mini-tournaments and life-skills based conversations.
- Men’s Training Academy for players ages 15-18 through a selective enrollment process.
