Kick Off - Annual Scorecard 2021-2022
Our Mission
Make the game of soccer accessible to all kids who want to play
Our Values
Pick up play, every day with an expanded field of opportunity
“I have a kiddo who never thought he would be able to play league soccer because of the cost. He not only got to play, but he “got real jerseys” too. His smile made my season.”
– Teacher / Coach
Pick up Play
“Kids had somewhere to be after school, doing something they love, and learning new skills.
All of the kids became friends because they were part of the same team.”

Soccer After School
Soccer After School (SAS) partners with 25 elementary schools to provide over 1,000 third through sixth graders access to organized soccer. Partner schools have an average of 92% of student families who qualify for free reduced lunch rates. Seventy-five percent of the families indicated their child had never played an organized sport before joining SAS. Kids are coached by teachers from their schools, practice at their schools, and play games at Soccer City. We partner with the Positive Coaching Alliance to train teacher-coaches to embrace the “power of positive” and to teach beginner soccer skills. We underwrite ~82% of the cost of the program each year through support from foundations, corporate partners, and individual donors.
“I just wanted to give you all a shout-out for organizing the league and your dedication to the game.
These students deserve to play.”
– Teacher / Coach
Community-Informed Programs Growing the playbook as we learn
Referee Training
We regularly train teenage youth to become referees, giving them the opportunity to progress into more competitive levels of soccer after earning their stripes at Soccer After School Game Days.
