About Me

..Soccer In The Streets is an Atlanta based nationwide non-profit organization that develops soccer, educational and life-skills program for "at-risk" kids in urban communities.
Since its inception in 1989, Soccer In The Streets has positively changed the lives of over 100,000 urban kids in more than 75 U.S. cities. The experience and skills learned through Soccer In The Streets programs better prepare youth for life and create further opportunities in the field of soccer and academia.
In addition, the program helps identify potentially gifted players who can be nurtured to reach the highest levels of soccer and academic achievement. Soccer In The Streets is committed to building the life of kids and their families through soccer and improving the quality of life in the heart of the country's urban communities and making it a true sport for all regardless of ethnic or economic background.
