​How can Street Soccer USA change Players' Lives?​

​

​
           

​Relationships

Many of our players have become isolated from friends and family. When a player joins a street soccer team, he or she becomes part of a family again.

​​

Teamwork

We train together, strive together, and above all else, we listen to each other. Powerful things happen when human beings put their differences aside and really communicate.

​​

Hope

Many of our players have lost faith in humanity through harsh living conditions on the streets or in shelters. Instead of focusing on being homeless, we focus on what players can do, both on the soccer and in life.

​​

​​

Self-Esteem

Becoming a part of a street soccer team may be the first activity that does not remind our players that they are homeless. By showing our players what they can do, we provide a renewed positive outlook on life.

"Street soccer is an important tool that builds not only self-esteem and physical strength, but helps shelter residents recognize the value in committing to a project and seeing it through. The life skills shelter men and women learn on the field translate off the field and help make them more effective as they strive towards employment and housing."
