WHO WE ARE
MORE THAN A FIELD. A FUTURE.
“Street Soccer Parks and Programs are a packaged deal. Together they provide a platform — for relationship building, goal setting, and personal transformation. Parks without Programming become abandoned spaces.”
— LAWRENCE CANN, CO-FOUNDER & CEO
Founded in 2009 in Charlotte, NC. Today we’re in 20+ cities, opening free, year-round Street Soccer Parks and Learning Centers where access, belonging, and opportunity come to life through the game — on and off the field.

26 FOR 2026 · The Where Goals Begin Campaign
26 PARKS. LASTING IMPACT.
Our focus is on creating lasting opportunities for communities through the power of soccer. With our partners, cities, and communities, we’re building 26 Street Soccer Parks and Learning Centers — free, year-round spaces designed to support mentorship, academic development, workforce readiness, and connection. We’ve completed 20 Parks and Learning Centers already, with the final 6 in progress. Help us finish our programmatic fundraising and complete the initiative.
Because the impact of the game should extend far beyond the field.
