Grassroots

Soccer is more than a game. Our program uses soccer to improve children’s physical and mental health and overall well-being in underserved communities.

For more information please see: https://ussoccerfoundation.org/programs/soccer-for-success/

League America is:

• An overarching brand meant to capture the spirit and ethos of our recreational and grassroots soccer members
• A pool of resources, housed within USYS University, that provides tools and resources that allow State Associations to create and support grassroots and recreational programming
• A branded foundation upon which State Associations can graft their own programming, resources, tools and education elements
• Free for State Associations to use

League America Festivals:

We want the recreational player to feel special and have fun! League America Festivals gives US Youth Soccer State Associations another benefit to bring even more service to current members and a tool to use in increasing membership enrollment.

By uniting traditional soccer clubs, leagues, and associations with nonprofits that use soccer as a tool to positively impact the lives of young people and families in their communities, the soccer community has developed actionable steps, plans, and processes to reduce the barrier of entry to quality soccer programming.
