Inspiration through soccer
Show You Care.
Change Their World.
Help a Child Today
You can overcome anything, if and only if, you love something enough.
-Lionel Messi
Sadly, most young children today do not have the resources they need to find their inspiration. Sports have always been a great outlet for children to stay active, learn teamwork, accomplish goals, and have fun! But many children do not have the opportunities to play sports given lack of equipment, training, money, or not having a buddy to help guide the way. We provide unlock their inspiration through soccer!
At the age of 5, I was fortunate enough to go Spain to watch Messi and Neymar play. During the game, something clicked inside of me and I turned to my parents and said "this is a life changing moment for me." It truly was!
At the game, I soaked in the energy of the people, the passion for their country and dedication of the players. It was clear to me this was bigger than the game but a spirit of lifting each other up. When I returned home, my soccer journey began and that fire in me is still going today.
Beyond the field, I found a brotherhood, learned teamwork, how to work well with others, how to build and leverage relationships, it kept me focused, and away from getting in trouble. I want to help other kids find that same inspiration especially in areas that may be lacking in resources for after school activities. I was grateful to go to that game in Spain and the spark developed there changed my life. Through KicksByKids I would like to create that inspiration for other kids.
How We Can Make a Difference
Train With Them
We host free training clinics and events that provide kickers a path to find a love for the game, fitness, and each other. Most importantly having fun doing it.
Provide Them Goods
We organize donations for all our kickers needs such as clothes, equipment, balls, etc. We then hand deliver these goods to see the joy on our kicker’s faces.
Act as Their Buddy
Off the field, we engage with our kickers and act as a buddy or just be a listening ear for them. Our kickers love that they can interact with buddies that understand their needs.
